Parents travelling with a toddler usually look at one line of the price list first: does a small child pay the same as an adult? On our tour, which leaves Gumbet Harbour at 10:30, the answer is short - under six, nobody pays. Below are the questions families send us most often, answered one by one.
What is the free child age on this Bodrum boat trip?
Children aged 0-6 travel free of charge. The rate of 1,500 TL per person applies to adults and to children over six. A free child is not given a separately numbered seat; they stay with the family on deck for the whole day.
What changes after the sixth birthday?
Ages 6 to 12 fall under the half ticket, and every guest over twelve pays the full fare. A typical family bill looks like this: two adults at full price, one baby free, one school-age child at half. If cousins and grandparents are joining you, it is worth asking about the headcount where the discount begins.
Does a free child get lunch?
Lunch is included in the price and served at Ada Bogazi: chicken, pasta and salad. There is no separate children's menu, but pasta and salad tend to work well for younger guests. Baby food, bottles and any special diet items have to come from your own bag. Drinks are not included at any age and are paid separately at the bar on deck.
What should you pack for a baby?
- Towels are not provided, so add one for the child
- There is a toilet, a shower and a changing cabin on board, useful for nappy changes
- The DJ set picks up tempo after lunch, so consider ear protection for sound-sensitive babies
- Child-size life jackets and safety equipment are kept on board
- Arrive at the pier around 10:15 if you want a shaded spot
This is a sociable day out, and striking up a conversation on deck is easy. If you are hoping for a quiet family outing, this tour is honestly not the right pick.
Do I have to declare a free child when booking?
Yes. Even though there is no charge, the child has to be listed for capacity planning and the lunch count. Transfer from hotels in Gumbet, Bitez and Ortakent is included in the price; your pickup time depends on where your hotel is and is confirmed together with the booking. If plans change, refunds are possible up to three days before the tour date. Larger families can see how the total is worked out as numbers grow, and all conditions and booking channels are gathered on our main page.
