​I highly recommend this tour with Go Lycia; everything about the trip was fun and well organized. They picked us up in Kas and drove us to our starting location. During the ride the guide gave us fascinating information about the area and life in Turkiye. Once underway, he did a great job of coordinating the group; keeping everybody safe without being annoying. The trip was beautiful, and Barbaros continued to make it informative and fun. The ruins are not spectacular, but where still very interesting. On the day we went, the conditions for kayaking were ideal with no chop and little wind. ​ Review of: Ultimate Sea Kayaking Tour of Kekova ​ Written October 12, 2024

​The kayaking tour of Kekova is very well laid out. We had a great guide with a good sense of humor. Pickup was well organized. The tour starts with a longer stretch of 3km kayaking when you have a little swim break afterwards. Then another 3km which goes slowly due to the explanation of the sunken city and then you go for lunch at the castle. After a well deserved break it is 2km but again there is a little swim stop included. All together, everyone with a normal fitness level can do this, and no experience is required. A really nice day out! ​ Review of: Ultimate Sea Kayaking Tour of Kekova ​ Written September 9, 2024

​We were staying in Kallkan and were struggling to find a tour which would include transport as we didn't have rental cars. I contacted the company by WhatsApp on Saturday afternoon and was able to agree a booking for the next day. The driver collected us at 7am and we had a very comfortable journey to the starting point. The equipment was all in good condition and within around 30 mins of arrival we were all set up and on the water. The tour was great, we started with a long paddle across the bay to a lovely beach where we could swim and also take in some Roman ruins. As we were getting ready to leave the bay become very crowded with large boats anchoring and letting their passengers swim. We managed to weave our way through them and set off for the sunken city. This was to be honest the least enjoyable part of the tour, as although our guide was very knowledgeable, I had expected that we would see much more below the surface, such as whole buildings etc. When in reality all we could really see were a few outlines of walls from the dock. It was however a nice paddle along the coast until we then had to sprint between the constant flow of large tourist boats travelling in both directions along the coast. We paddled across to the the lunch stop where we had a lovely lunch included and time to wander around the small lanes and eat ice cream. Next we made a short trip to a rocky outcrop which the braver members of the group were able to climb and make a 5m jump into the ocean. The trip was rounded off with a short paddle back to the start point. All in all a fantastic day on the water. ​ Review of: Private Sea Kayaking tour of Kekova ​ Written August 19, 2024

​I can't recommend this trip highly enough. Barbaros is an entertaining guide, who has a detailed knowledge of the surrounding area and a plethora of interesting facts at his disposal. Seeing Kekova from a kayak makes for a really immersive experience and if you're a kayaking novice then fear not, as Barbaros will put you at ease with some simple instructions. There are plenty of opportunities throughout the trip for a quick dip in the sea to keep you cool. The lunch at Simena was delightful and there are plenty of photo opportunities (and ice cream) at the castle summit. If you've spent a few days idling on a sun lounger and you're looking for something different then here's your answer. ​ Review of: Ultimate Sea Kayaking Tour of Kekova ​ Written July 27, 2024
