Overview
Paddle through the crystal-clear waters of Kekova, explore the ancient harbor of Xera, and glide above the famous Sunken City while your guide shares stories of Lycian civilization, local wildlife, and life along this remarkable coastline.

Small groups and experienced local guides create a relaxed, personal atmosphere. Whether it’s your first time in a kayak or you’ve paddled for years, we keep our pace relaxed and give you the time to enjoy one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful coastlines.

Traveller reviews
We were a party of five. Barbie was a fantastic guide, explaining both the Lycian history and nature in the area, with great humour. The kayaking was great fun and the whole organisation was excellent
We really enjoyed our time kayaking around Üçağız, Kekova and Kaleköy with Buğra. Would recommend this activity to anyone who can kayak!
Phenomenal, Barbarossa was really supportive, enthusiastic and informative the entire way through. We actually stopped and explored the ruins while Barb told us the history and mythology of the place. Plenty of free time and a much better pace than the other groups 10/10 would recommend
I stayed in Kekova and wanted to do the Kayak Tour. I found this operator and as I support small businesses and also prefer to book directly we arranged a tour next day. The tour included all equipment and lunch, drinks extra. He explained us detailed how to use the Kayak, helped us to adjust and it was a beautiful experience. The sea was very calm & quiet. It was not too hot not too cold. I can definitely recommend it and as well the area is stunning beautiful. If you are in the area, try it out. It is way more detailed and personal than a bif boot tour. From a fitness level it is okay as there are some stops and breaks. Food was also delicious.
Had a great time with my wife at the water in double kayak, enjoying the views of the ancient ruins and tombs, partly covered underwater. That was the only operator that we could find who was ready to do a tour since it is off-season and other companies didn’t have enough people to make a group. Made a booking via Whatsup, no deposit was required. On the way from Kas, as well as during the tour in the water, the guide (Barbaros) and his companion told a little bit of history about the place, as well as Turkish culture and traditions in general. Both speak good English, so communication should not be a problem. Highly recommend in case you have a day in Kas and want to spend it at water.
As a black female solo traveler this was the highlight of my trip!! Our guide/chef went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and he was beyond knowledgeable with answering all of our questions! The picnic he provided for us was beyond amazing and was soooo refreshing!! Thank uou thank you thank youuuuuuuuuu!!
Barbie is the best kayak guide you could get! Super available and he makes you explore the region not only geographically, but also culturally and geologically by telling you interesting stories. The lunch and the snacks were also a great component of the tour that extend the experience also to local tastes.
We had a wonderful experience with Barbosa/Barbie! He has a wealth of knowledge and experience thst makes this outing incredibly informative. We also had a lovely picnic in a cove that made the experience even more fun and authentic. Highly recommended to anyone interedted in connecting with a well traveled, well spoken local guide. Thank you for the lovely day! JP and Gen
