Kaş Boat Trip: The Best Way to Escape the Heat and Dive into Cool Waters
While the summer heat can be intensely felt in Kaş, the most enjoyable escape for those looking to cool down and spend time immersed in nature is a Kaş boat trip. Swimming in pristine coves, navigating routes intertwined with history, and feeling the tranquility of the sea transforms this experience from just a day trip into an unforgettable memory.
What Does a Kaş Boat Trip Offer You?
Kaş is one of Antalya's most special coastal towns. Its hidden coves, crystal-clear sea, and sheltered nature have made it a hub for boat tours. A Kaş boat trip isn't just about swimming; it's also an opportunity to discover the natural beauty the Mediterranean offers. During this experience, nature, history, and the sea are presented as a whole. Even during the hottest hours of the day, the coolness of the sea washes away all fatigue, while peace and tranquility accompany you throughout the day.
Most Popular Routes: Kekova, the Sunken City, and More
The Kekova boat trip is one of the most preferred routes departing from Kaş. On this route, the Sunken City, famous for its underwater ancient ruins, takes visitors on a veritable journey through time. These ruins, visible even from the deck of the boat, allow you to feel the historical texture of Kekova. This ancient city, submerged as a result of seismic activity in the region, retains its impressiveness even as you glide over its surface.
Another remarkable stop on the Kekova route is Simena Village and Simena Castle. This small historic village, with its stone houses intertwined with the sea and narrow streets, reflects the authentic atmosphere of the Mediterranean. When you climb up to the castle, the breathtaking view of Kekova Bay unfolds in all its glory.
Akvaryum Bay (Aquarium Bay) gets its name from its clarity and is known for its almost glass-like water. Swimming in this bay feels like being inside an aquarium. Its calm waters and rich underwater life offer a unique pleasure for a swimming break.
Tersane Bay (Shipyard Bay), with its natural beauty combined with underwater ruins, is one of the most unique stops in the region. Traces of ancient shipyard structures can still be seen here. It's a perfect stop for both swimming and exploration.
How Do Daily Tours Work?
Boats typically depart from Kaş Limanı (Kaş Harbor) around 09:30 AM. Throughout the day, a planned route is followed, with swimming breaks at various coves. These breaks offer ample time for both swimming and sunbathing. These full-day sea tours conclude with a return to the harbor in the late afternoon.
During the tour, guests are served lunch. Meals are prepared with fresh ingredients and served on board. A delicious lunch combined with the sea air doubles the enjoyment of the tour. Additionally, since the journey between routes is calm, there's plenty of opportunity to read a book, relax, or simply enjoy the scenery.
Kaş Boat Trip Prices
Kaş boat trip prices can vary depending on the duration of the tour, the type of boat, and the service details. At Boat Trip Turkey, we offer both group tours and private tour options. If you wish to plan a special day with your group of friends or family, the private boat rental option might be the most suitable choice.

A waterproof phone case or an underwater camera can help you capture both your swimming moments and the breathtaking scenery.
