Of everything included in the ticket, food is the item travellers ask about most. On our daily tour leaving Gümbet Harbour at 10:30, lunch is part of the price: you pay nothing extra at the pier or on board. Below is what lands on the plate, where it is served and which items still cost money.
Is lunch included on the Bodrum boat tour?
Yes. The fare of 1,500 TL per person covers lunch. That means one hot plate served on deck, not an unlimited buffet. The same fare also covers hotel pick-up in Gümbet, Bitez and Ortakent, so our breakdown of the shuttle coverage is worth a look when you add up costs.
What exactly is on the menu?
The menu is fixed and has three components:
- Chicken — the main dish, served hot.
- Pasta — the filling side that comes with it.
- Salad — a fresh plate of seasonal greens.
There is no seafood, barbecue or à la carte choice. The menu stays simple on purpose: with a capacity of 100 guests, service has to move quickly and stay organised.
When and where is lunch served?
Lunch happens at Ada Boğazı, the second stop of the route, at around 13:00. So you eat after the first swim break at Dalgıç Bay. The DJ set also starts here; the music stays in the background during the morning and the tempo rises once plates are cleared. The last two stops, Aşıklar and Akvaryum bays, are there for anyone who wants to swim afterwards.
Are the portions filling, and what should you bring?
Because departure is at 10:30, no breakfast is served on board. Eat at your hotel before heading to the pier. Since lunch arrives around 13:00, packing a small snack for the gap is a sensible move. Drinks are not included: water, soft drinks and alcoholic options are sold separately at the deck bar. If you want the reasoning behind that, see the page where we explain how the bar works.
Children and special diets
Children aged 0-6 travel free and ages 6-12 pay half price, lunch included in both cases. As the menu is fixed, guests with specific dietary needs should message us before booking so we can confirm whether it suits them. Travellers who prefer a calmer pace will find useful notes in the guide we wrote for slower, more comfortable participation, and for anything still unanswered our contact channels stay open every day.
