    Fantastic private boat...

    Fantastic private boat excursion! We were picked up with a private van at our house in Kas for about a 45 min transfer to the pier in Kekova. The boat was fantastic, large, clean. Nice father son duo that piloted it. Spoke great English. We were on the water from about 10am -5:50 pm and toured around the area, various swimming spots, a small climb up some stairs to this castle on an island. Overall very smooth, would recommend if you want a boat day that is more private than the usual tours. Lunch was fantastic. Some things to note: you do have to provide your own water, soft drinks and alcohol. Our driver stopped at a grocery store on the way. Perhaps would be nice to provide some water. You also need to provide your own towels. You do not actually snorkel on this trip, even at the forbidden city which is forbidden. They did have a few noodles for use in the water.

    Response from the operator: Dear Justin, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed the private boat experience, the route and the meal, and that our crew made you feel comfortable throughout the day. We also appreciate your helpful notes regarding the refreshments and towels, which we will take into consideration. Best regards

    The Highlight of our Holiday

    This was the highlight of our holiday. The boat passed close to several islands with Roman remains which the guide explained in English and Turkish. There were at least 4 stops for swimming in the crystal-clear water, half hour each, and a good lunch was provided on the boat. We also had an hour and a half to visit the village of Kale with delicious ice cream and orange juice. Bit of a tourist trap, but delightful all the same off peak-season.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re truly delighted to hear that our boat tour was the highlight of your holiday. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the historical sights, swimming stops, and the visit to the charming village of Kale. We always strive to offer a relaxing and memorable experience, and it’s great to know we succeeded. We hope to welcome you aboard again in the future — perhaps during another peaceful off-season adventure! Regards

    Kekova Private Full-Day Boat Trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antalya.

    How much does Kekova Private Full-Day Boat Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $744 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antalya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Kekova Private Full-Day Boat Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Antalya is not rushed.

    Is Kekova Private Full-Day Boat Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 47 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Antalya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Kekova Private Full-Day Boat Trip?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Kekova Private Full-Day Boat Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kekova Private Full-Day Boat Trip?

    +

    Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Antalya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Antalya and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kekova Private Full-Day Boat Trip start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Antalya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Antalya?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Antalya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Tour of Pamukkale from Antalya with Lunch, Antalya Excursion to Perge, Aspendos, side, Manavgat waterfall, Antalya City Tour With Duden Waterfalls & Old Town Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Antalya?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Antalya?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Kekova Private Full-Day Boat Trip?

    +

    Included: Snacks; Private transportation; Lunch; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Kekova Private Full-Day Boat Trip include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 110 listed pickup locations in and around Antalya. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Kekova Private Full-Day Boat Trip?

    +

    What happens to Kekova Private Full-Day Boat Trip if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
