5.00I've taken many guided tours on this trip, and this has been the most enjoyable yet. A great location with stunning views. The guides were amazing, patient, and supportive - never rushing or just going through the motions. They had interesting stories but also gave time for independent exploration and enjoyment. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Highly recommended!

5.00Barbaros is an excellent tour guide and an even better kayaking instructor. My husband and I had kayaked few times and are beginner level but he gave us such great tips and made us feel so comfortable. He has great knowledge about the area! I would definitely recommend booking this tour to add to your Kas/Kekova experience!
A must-do adventure for your trip!

5.00This day trip was the highlight of our summer vacation in Turkey. We had absolutely fabulous weather and spent the day kayaking amongst beautiful nature and historical ruins with a friendly, fun, and knowledgeable guide. The delicious lunch that was included exceeded our expectations, as did the stops for snorkeling/swimming, hiking up to an ottoman castle, and getting ice cream in a small village. All for a great value, too - totally worth what we paid! Definitely book this trip!
Perfect experience, with small group and with the best guide and teacher
