Itinerary
The tour starts around 8:00 am when everyone gets on the bus in Kaş for the drive to Uçağiz village, which takes about 45 minutes.
We depart Ucagiz at 09:30 am with motorized support vessel to escort us, and paddle southwest down the coast towards the Kekova Island and arrive Tersane bay at 10:15 am and followed by a swimming break.
From there the group will slowly paddle over the ancient Lycian Sunken City of Kekova. Since this is a protected area, swimming is not permitted here.
So what better way to explore the Sunken City than by Kayaking alongside the ruins; giving you the chance to capture unforgettable photos.
After an exciting of adventure, we’ll head to Simena and arrive at 11:30 am, park in Kaleköy (ancient Simena Castle) for 45 mins, giving you time to visit this small authentic village that’s home to castle ruins and a necropolis.
A hike up the hillside will give you magnificent views of the Kekova region. If you’d prefer to admire Simena Castle from down below, you can use your remaining time to take another dip in the gorgeous blue waters.
In the afternoon we head back towards Theimussa for an up close view of more impressive Lycian sarcophagi and then return to our Kayak base. Following this you will move on to Üçağiz to enjoy lunch at 13:15 pm

5Great experience....
Great experience. Beautiful scenery, 100% worth the excursion. Nice tour guide, very funny. Food at the end was tasty. Experience was pleasantly not too long we were back in Kas by 2 PM
4Good experience
Picked up from Kas as planned in comfortable ac car. Kayaking was so easy as a sunny windless day. Felt a little rushed, perhaps a gentler pace would have suited the activity better.
5Kayaking Tour
It was a very good experience for a family. The tour guide was excellent.
1Very Disappointing with Planning
I am very upset with this tour. They canceled at 5 PM and I was supposed to leave at 8 AM the next morning. It is toolate now for me to book anything else for the next day I would have done something earlier today and very very disappointed they were also not responsive when I reached out with questions.
5Definitely worth it
Really great tour. Guide was enthusiast and engaging throughout. The scenery was beautiful - amazing swimming and snorkelling stops along the way. The lunch was delicious - a choice of chicken or fish. The whole tour was seamless from pick-up to drop-off. There wasn't much information given about the ruins themselves, but the trip was still worth it for the scenery. The kayaking is not too physically demanding (although you will need some strength/stamina), particularly when a kayak is shared between two people.
5Yaşar was a great group...
Yaşar was a great group leader. He was friendly, funny, and engaging. He made the experience comfortable and fun! The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. A small boat follows along in case of any emergencies and also is a good space to carry belongings that you want to keep out of the kayak or keep dry. They also take photos of people in the group so you don’t have to worry about pictures, but it’s nice if you have a waterproof camera.
