The Düden Waterfall Boat Trip by Private Yacht
A Düden waterfall boat trip by private yacht is part of every cruise we run, on both yachts. From Kundu Marina you stop for a swim off Lara Beach, see the smaller Düden waterfall and its sea caves from the foredeck, then stop at the larger waterfall area to swim and eat. Swimming under the falls depends on the sea and weather; the captain decides.
Seeing the waterfalls from the sea
The Düden waterfalls are one of the sights of the Antalya coast, and the sea gives you a view of them you do not get from the shore: face on, with the water falling in front of you and the rocks and caves around them.
On a private yacht you are not jostling for a spot at the rail. Your group has the deck to itself, the captain positions the yacht for the view, and you can take your time with photos from the foredeck. Our day yacht cruises bring you there in full daylight, with lunch at the larger waterfall area.
How the route reaches the falls
Every cruise leaves from Kundu Marina in Antalya. The first stop is a swim off Lara Beach, then the yacht continues to the smaller Düden waterfall. Here you can look at the natural sea caves and rocks around it and take photos from the foredeck.
Next comes the larger Düden waterfall area, where the yacht stops for a swim and the meal is served. After that you cruise along the Antalya hotel coast and return to Kundu Marina. Both yachts follow this route, so the waterfalls are part of the trip whichever one you choose; see which yacht to choose if you are still deciding.
The meal at the larger waterfall area is part of every cruise: chicken and meatballs (köfte), four cold meze, salad, pasta and fresh fruit, with soft drinks included. You eat with the waterfall area in view.

Can you swim under the waterfall?
Cooling off under the falls is possible when the weather allows, but it is never promised in advance, because it depends on the sea and the conditions on the day.
The captain decides, and the same goes for any extra swim stop. If conditions are not right for going close, you still see the waterfalls from the yacht and swim at the other stops on the route.
Day or sunset at the waterfalls
Both sessions include the waterfalls. On the day cruise, which runs for 6 hours and returns at 15:00, you reach them in strong daylight and have lunch at the larger waterfall area. On the sunset cruise, from 15:30 to 20:30, you see them in the afternoon and have your meal on deck as the light softens.
If you want strong daylight and the most time in the water, the day cruise is the natural choice. If you would rather combine the falls with dinner and the evening view, our comparison of day and sunset cruises explains the difference.
Planning your waterfall trip
The price is for the whole yacht, not per person: from €750 for the 12-guest yacht, with the hotel transfer there and back included, and from €850 for the 28-guest yacht, where you meet the crew at Kundu Marina and can ask us about a transfer.
Bring swimwear and something for the sun, since there is time in the water at more than one stop. Our list of what to pack for the yacht covers the rest. Nothing is paid online: you pay in euros on the day, and cancellation is free up to 48 hours before departure.
If you are more than 12, or would like a jacuzzi on deck between swims, choose the 28-guest jacuzzi yacht. Both yachts visit the same waterfalls.
