Wind Star — Kuşadası shore excursion
Wind Star's 148 guests are the most independent-minded travellers in any Kuşadası anchorage. Small ship, big adventure — our safaris deliver that philosophy ashore.
Wind Star is Windstar's original sailing ship — 148 guests, 4-masted sailing vessel. She's one of the smallest and most exclusive ships to call Kuşadası. Her guests almost never take bus tours.
Our quad and buggy safaris cap at 8 — matching Wind Star's boutique scale perfectly. The Dilek Peninsula trail is the best off-the-beaten-track shore day in the region: forest roads, sea view clearings, a swim stop and a return that gets you back before the deck party begins.
Horse safari (2h) is also a popular Wind Star pick — calm, quiet coastal trail that fits the reflective energy of a sailing voyage.
Frequently asked
Does Wind Star anchor or dock?
Wind Star typically docks at Kuşadası Cruise Port (Ege Limanı) when calling Kuşadası. Tender transfer is less common on this port. We pick up at the main gate regardless.
With only 148 guests, is availability tight?
Wind Star days are usually fine — there are not 148 guests all doing safari. Book 24-48 hours ahead to be safe, or WhatsApp the morning of arrival.
What should I wear?
Closed shoes or trainers, comfortable clothes. Dust settles on everything. We provide helmets and goggles for quad/buggy. Sunscreen and a light layer for after the swim.
