2.Antalya / Kemer : Mega Star Party Boat Trip w/ Lunch & Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 10 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $12Best value

Ride the Mega Star from Antalya to Kemer for swimming stops at Phaselis, Kiris, and Cennet Bay. Enjoy lunch, a foam party, music, hotel transfers, and family activities. Captain Ali bin Express and his crew add plenty of entertainment, while drinks cost extra.

“The tour was perfectly organized- the shuttle came on time, we did not have to wait anywhere. The ship was big and comfortable- everybody was able to find a seat or even change it on different decks:) The Captain was great as well as his crew:) it was so exciting to watch them dance and join the party:) The only thing one should keep in mind is that it is possible to land on condition you can jump from the ship and swim to the shore. The views are stunning:)”
