Full-day Kekova boat trip vs Kaş Sunset Cruise — which to book?

Side-by-side comparison of two popular Kaş boat trips, with duration, price, what's included and who each one suits best.

Quick answer

The Kekova full-day boat trip is the classic 8-hour Kaş experience with swimming, lunch and the sunken city; the Kaş Sunset Cruise is a 3-hour evening trip with a sunset swim and drinks. They aren't competitors — most guests do both when staying 3+ nights, but if you must choose, the full day gives the more complete experience.

Our recommendation

Do both if you can — the full-day Kekova trip is the headline experience, and the sunset cruise pairs perfectly with a different evening. With only one half-day or evening free, the sunset cruise is the right call.
