Antalya Boat Tour Hotel Pickup Guide: Times by Area

The question we hear most after someone books a tour is a simple one: what time will the bus come? All our group boat tours include round-trip hotel transfers in air-conditioned vehicles, and we collect guests from almost every resort area between Kemer/Tekirova and Belek/Boğazkent. Side and Alanya are possible on request. This Antalya boat tour hotel pickup guide walks you through the typical times for each area so you can plan breakfast, sunscreen and that last coffee.

One honest note before we start: the times below are the ones our transfer team works with, but they can change by season and by the number of hotels on the route. Please always confirm your exact time with us by message before booking. You will find the full tables on our pickup points and times page.

How hotel pickup works

• We collect you at your hotel entrance or at the main road point we give you when you book.
• Be ready 5–10 minutes early. The vehicle can only wait a few minutes, because other guests are already on board.
• Your guide confirms the pickup the evening before by WhatsApp.
• Every tour aims to reach the boat by 10:00: the Konyaaltı Fishermen's Shelter for the Pirate, Relax and Alibaba tours, and Adrasan for the Suluada tour.

Hotel pickup times by area

Antalya city centre pickup times

Staying in the city? For the Pirate foam party tour and the Relax tour, pickup in the centre is typically around 08:30. For Alibaba it is around 09:00–09:15. Suluada starts much earlier: city points are typically Dedeman 07:20, MarkAntalya 07:30 and 5M Migros 07:40.

Konyaaltı

Konyaaltı is our home ground, and the harbour is right here, yet the Pirate and Relax pickup is early, around 08:10, because the bus then heads east to collect other guests. Alibaba pickup is typically around 09:30, and Suluada around 07:50.

Lara

Guests at Lara hotels are usually collected around 09:00 for Pirate and Relax, around 09:10 for Alibaba, and around 07:10 for Suluada.

Kundu

In Kundu, expect around 09:30 for Pirate and Relax, around 08:45 or 09:00 for Alibaba depending on your hotel, and around 07:00 for Suluada.

Belek, Kadriye and Boğazkent

These areas are further from the harbour, so the bus leaves earlier:

• Belek: Pirate and Relax around 08:25, Alibaba around 08:30, Suluada around 06:40.
• Kadriye: Pirate and Relax around 09:00, Alibaba around 08:45, Suluada around 06:50.
• Boğazkent: Pirate and Relax around 08:15, Alibaba around 08:15, Suluada around 06:30, the earliest start of all.

Beldibi

From Beldibi, Alibaba pickup is typically around 09:30 and Suluada around 08:15. Beldibi is not on our standard Pirate and Relax list, so please ask us and we will tell you what is possible.

Göynük

Guests in Göynük are usually collected around 09:15 for Alibaba and around 08:45 for Suluada. For Pirate and Relax, ask us before booking.

Kemer, Çamyuva and Kiriş

In Kemer, Alibaba pickup is typically around 09:00, and in Çamyuva and Kiriş around 08:50. For Suluada, Kemer is around 09:00 and Çamyuva around 09:20, since Adrasan lies to the south-west and the bus passes you on the way. For Pirate and Relax from this area, please ask us.

Tekirova

Tekirova guests are collected around 08:30 for Alibaba and around 09:30 for Suluada, the last stop before Adrasan.

Side: transfer on request

Side is not on the regular list. A transfer can be arranged on request; the drive is roughly 1.5–2.5 hours each way, so ask us before booking and we will check the options for your date.

Alanya: transfer on request

The same goes for Alanya: transfer on request only, about 1.5–2.5 hours each way. Message us first and we will tell you honestly whether it makes sense for your plans.

Tips from our transfer team

• Eat a light breakfast. Many hotels open their restaurants only after the early Suluada pickup, so ask reception for a breakfast box the night before.
• Pack your bag the evening before. Our boat tour packing list helps.
• Keep your phone on and WhatsApp open in the morning in case the driver needs to reach you.
• If your hotel has several entrances, wait at the main one unless we told you otherwise.
• Travelling with little ones? Read our guide to boat tours with kids before an early start.
