Sunrise private Kekova vs daytime shared — which works for you?
Side-by-side comparison of two popular Kaş boat trips, with duration, price, what's included and who each one suits best.
Quick answer
Both tours cover the same Kekova route: sunken city, Simena, swim bays. The difference is the light, the crowd and the price. Sunrise private leaves at 06:00, has the ruins to itself, and stays out for about 5 hours; the day-time shared leaves at 10:00, rides at peak light, runs ~8 hours and packs more swim time at lower cost per person.

Best for
Photographers, couples on a milestone trip, families avoiding midday heat, and anyone who wants the iconic site with zero other boats in the frame.
Take the sunrise private if you're celebrating something, travelling with photographers, or have already done the daytime route and want a quieter second look. Otherwise the daytime shared is the natural choice — and the one most regulars do twice.
