What Should I Bring with Me on the Boat Tour?

To make the most of your boat tour in Alanya and ensure a comfortable and enjoyable day at sea, it’s important to be well-prepared. Here’s a detailed list of what to bring with you for an unforgettable experience:

1. Swimsuit and Towel

Since the boat tour includes multiple swimming opportunities at some of the most beautiful and secluded beaches and sea caves, packing a swimsuit is essential. Bring a comfortable swimsuit that you feel good in, as you’ll be spending time swimming and relaxing in the water. Don’t forget to bring a towel to dry off after swimming, sunbathing, or any other activities that might get you wet. A quick-drying towel is always a smart option.

2. Sunscreen (High SPF)

The sun in the Mediterranean can be quite intense, especially during the summer months, and you'll be exposed to the sun for several hours. Sunscreen with high SPF is a must to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Apply sunscreen before boarding the boat and reapply it during the day, especially after swimming. Opt for water-resistant sunscreen to ensure it stays on even when you're in the water. Don’t forget to apply it to areas that are often missed, such as the ears, back of the neck, and tops of the feet.

3. Hat and Sunglasses

A wide-brimmed hat or cap is a great way to protect your face and eyes from the sun, particularly during midday when the sun’s rays are strongest. Additionally, sunglasses with UV protection are essential to shield your eyes from the glaring sunlight and to improve visibility, especially while you’re on the water. Choose polarized sunglasses to reduce glare from the sea and make it easier to see marine life or the coastline clearly.

4. Waterproof Phone Case or Camera

The boat tour offers plenty of photo opportunities with stunning views, historic sites, and swimming stops. Bring your camera or smartphone to capture the memories, but make sure it’s protected from water. Consider using a waterproof phone case to ensure your device stays dry while you take photos or videos. If you’re bringing a camera, make sure it’s in a waterproof bag or pouch, especially during swimming breaks or when the boat is cruising through the water.

5. Comfortable Footwear

Although the majority of the time will be spent on the boat, there may be times when you need to walk on the deck, disembark at different stops, or visit a beach. Comfortable footwear is key. Flip-flops, sandals, or water shoes are ideal, as they are easy to slip on and off. If you plan to walk on rocky terrain or participate in any land-based activities, consider bringing sturdy sandals with good grip.

6. Water and Snacks

Stay hydrated throughout the day, especially as it can get hot during the summer months. Bring a refillable water bottle to keep yourself hydrated. Some boats may provide drinks, but it’s always a good idea to have your own water with you. If you’re prone to hunger during the day, pack light snacks like fruits, nuts, or granola bars. These are easy to eat between swim stops and will keep your energy levels up without feeling too full.

7. Light Jacket or Cover-Up

While it can be very warm during the day, the weather on the water can sometimes feel cooler, especially in the early morning or late afternoon. Bring a light jacket, cover-up, or shawl to keep warm if needed. This is particularly useful when the boat is moving fast or if you get chilly after swimming. A light sweater is also a good option for cooler moments.

8. Personal Hygiene Items

Make sure to bring any personal hygiene items that you may need during the day. Many boats have clean restrooms and showers, so you may want to bring a small toiletry bag with essentials such as wet wipes, hand sanitizer, toothbrush, and toothpaste. If you’re sensitive to the sun, bring lip balm with SPF to protect your lips.

9. Medication and Personal Items

If you need any medication for allergies, seasickness, or other conditions, be sure to pack it in a small waterproof bag. Seasickness tablets can be especially helpful if you’re prone to motion sickness. Also, consider bringing any other personal items you might need, such as contact lenses or glasses, reading glasses, and a small first aid kit.

10. Cash or Credit Card

While most boat tours include drinks and food as part of the package, some may offer additional services such as onboard snacks, souvenirs, or drinks. It’s a good idea to bring cash (in small denominations) or a credit card for these optional purchases. Be sure to have some local currency (Turkish Lira) on hand, as not all boats accept international cards.

11. Waterproof Bag for Wet Items

If you plan on swimming or getting wet, it’s a good idea to bring a waterproof bag to store your wet swimsuit or towel after swimming. This helps to keep the rest of your belongings dry and prevents the dampness from affecting other items in your bag.

12. Positive Attitude and Adventure Spirit

Last but certainly not least, don’t forget to bring your adventure spirit! The boat tour is about relaxing, enjoying the sea breeze, and experiencing the stunning coastline of Alanya. Pack a smile, a sense of fun, and an open mind, as the day promises plenty of memorable moments and surprises.
