TL;DR
Most boat cruises to Antalya’s Lower Düden Waterfall leave from Kaleiçi Marina in the Old Town. Short trips generally last around 1–2 hours, but swimming stops depend on sea conditions and the individual operator.
For a short shared cruise, start at Kaleiçi Marina (Kaleiçi Yat Limanı) below Antalya Old Town, near İskele Caddesi. Excursion boats are docked there, and operators can confirm the next Lower Düden Waterfall departure.
If you specifically want a two-hour trip, ask for the total round-trip duration and whether swimming is included. A swim stop is not guaranteed on short cruises and is often cancelled when there are waves or strong currents near the waterfall.
When booking a group cruise, confirm that it visits Lower Düden Waterfall (Aşağı Düden Şelalesi), the waterfall that drops into the sea near Lara. It is different from Upper Düden, a city park waterfall normally visited by road.
