Yes, Kadriye hotels are collected — and the ride is inside the price
The pirate boat day lists round-trip hotel transfer from Belek and nearby resorts among the things you are paying for, and Kadriye is the nearby resort that line is mostly about. So when this page says a boat trip from Kadriye, it means it literally: the transfer collects you at your hotel in the morning and brings you back there in the afternoon.
Kadriye and Belek are the only two areas we are prepared to name in writing, and that shortness is deliberate. Our own hotel directory files this entire resort strip under the sub-district Kadriye Mevkii, which is a fair reflection of how the coast is actually addressed here, and it is the belt the driver works every morning.
Included means included in both directions. There is nothing to settle with the driver, nothing collected at the hotel desk and nothing added at the end of the day. If a page anywhere offers you a Kadriye boat trip and then quotes a transfer fee on top, it is not describing this one.
Kadriye is its own resort strip, not a suburb of a search term
If your booking confirmation says Kadriye, it is reasonable to wonder whether a site about boat trips from Belek is talking about you at all. It is. Kadriye is its own settlement next door to Belek, with its own name on hotel addresses and its own stretch of the strip, and a guest standing outside a Kadriye hotel is not on the edge of our map. This is the middle of the run.
The practical reason to say that out loud is the booking form. The hotel field takes free text, and the suggestions offered underneath it come from the small handful of properties currently filed under Kadriye Mevkii in our directory. Hundreds of hotels line this coast and only a few of them sit in that list, so if yours is not there, type the name exactly as your reservation writes it. Being absent from the list means nothing at all.
What we will not do is publish a list of hotels and call it the hotels we serve, because the moment one of them changes its name that list has quietly become a promise we are breaking.
The boat is in Side, and staying in Kadriye does not change that
Here is the awkward part, and we would rather you read it here than work it out in a hotel lobby: neither Kadriye nor Belek has a boat harbour of its own in our records. The hotels here were built behind the pine woods for the sand and the golf, never around a working quay, and the excursion boats are moored down the shore at Side. Your day therefore starts on the road, and that road leg belongs to the tour rather than sitting beside it as an extra.
Once the vehicle reaches Side you board the Alibaba galleon, a pirate-themed ship with a painted hull, sails and rigging, and the boat spends about six to seven hours along the Side coastline. The swimming, the barbecue lunch and the foam party all happen out there on the water rather than anywhere near your hotel.
None of that is different for a Kadriye guest than for one staying in Belek: same boat, same crew, same hours on the water, same fare. The only thing your address decides is where the driver stops first, which is why we have written how the rest of the day unfolds on its own page and kept this one on the subject of your pickup.
How the morning actually works from a Kadriye hotel
The driver runs a route, not a shuttle: he collects from several hotels across Kadriye and the Belek strip in turn before heading for the harbour, so where your Kadriye hotel falls in that order decides your collection time — and the order itself moves with the day's bookings. That is why no clock time appears on this page. You are given your time once the reservation is in, and told it again the evening before you travel.
Being collected early or late in the run does not change what you get: the fare is the same either way, and so are your hours on the water. The only thing an early pickup really costs you is part of a hotel breakfast, so it is worth asking your reception the night before whether they can pack something for you.
- Pickup is from your hotel in Kadriye and back to the same door, at no extra cost
- You learn your pickup time when the booking is confirmed, and again the evening before
- Kadriye and Belek hotels share one collection run, so the order is not the same every day
- Keep the phone number you booked with reachable, or the confirmation never finds you
- Be downstairs a few minutes before the time you are given, not at it
What the day costs from Kadriye
Exactly what it costs from anywhere else on the belt: €25 per adult aged 12-99 and €12.50 per child aged 4-11 on the pirate galleon, with infants aged 0-3 travelling free. There is no Kadriye surcharge, no transfer supplement and no distance band, because the drive to Side and back was never a separate product in the first place.
The child fare is not a rounded-down discount either. Children aged four to eleven pay half of whatever the adult fare happens to be, so the two figures move together rather than drifting apart when a price changes.
What is not included is worth knowing before you are standing at the bar: drinks on board, tips for the crew and guide, the photo and video service, and anything you spend on yourself. Nothing is prepaid and no card is taken online — you reserve a place, pay in euros on the day of the tour, and can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before departure.
The other two boat days start at your Kadriye door as well
We run three boat days from this coast strip and all three boat days start at the same hotel door, with the round-trip transfer included in each of them. What actually changes between them is the water you end up on, the length of the day and the price.
The Green Canyon day drives inland instead of down the coast, to the reservoir held back by the Oymapınar Dam near Manavgat. It is worth being blunt about what that is, because the photographs mislead people: a deep-green, calm and noticeably cooler lake between pine-clad cliffs, so you swim in fresh water rather than the Mediterranean. It runs about eight hours door to door at €42 per adult and €25 per child aged 4-11, with infants free.
The third day leaves the sea out altogether — the Manavgat open-air market, then the Manavgat River in a traditional wooden boat: flat, reed-lined water, a riverside lunch, and deliberately not a swimming trip. It runs seven hours at €43 per adult and €30 per child aged 4-11. One detail decides your calendar rather than your taste — the market runs on Mondays and Thursdays, so those are the only two days this trip goes out at all.
The edge of Kadriye, and the things we will not promise
Kadriye Mevkii and the Belek strip are covered. The outer edges of Kadriye, along with Boğazkent and Serik, are not confirmed pickup points, and we answer those one hotel at a time instead of publishing a promise we might not be able to keep. Send us the hotel name on WhatsApp before you book and we will tell you plainly whether the driver can reach it.
The same honesty applies to the trips themselves. There is real demand along this strip for a private yacht charter, a sunset cruise, a fishing boat, a diving day and a Suluada trip leaving from here, and we run none of them from Kadriye — we do sell Suluada, but from Side and from Antalya. If you ask us for one of those, we will tell you we do not have it rather than selling you something adjacent and hoping you do not notice at the harbour.
One more thing said plainly, because it is easier to read now than to discover on a gangway: the galleon day suits families, couples and mixed groups very well, but it is not the right day for guests with limited mobility.
Booking it from Kadriye, in practice
Book at least a day ahead. Same-day reservations are not accepted, so the earliest date the calendar offers is tomorrow, and booking the day before is also what makes the evening-before pickup confirmation possible. One reservation can carry up to 40 people, which covers a family group or two families travelling together without splitting anything up.
Then have the hotel name ready the way your own reservation writes it, keep your phone reachable, and pack for a day on deck: swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a hat and non-slip footwear for moving around. After that there is genuinely nothing to arrange — no advance payment, no card details, and free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure if the week rearranges itself around you.
- Earliest bookable date is tomorrow; same-day reservations are not accepted
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure
- Payment in euros on the day of the tour; nothing is taken online
- Infants aged 0-3 travel free, children aged 4-11 pay the reduced child fare
- Write your hotel name as free text even if the suggestion list does not show it
