• 5A great day out and an insight into Turkey, ancient and modern

  We highly recommend a day kayaking with Barbi, it was a real highlight of our holiday. Barbi was a brilliant guide, interesting, kind and funny. We learnt a lot about Turkish history both ancient and more modern. The kayaking was great fun and well planned. Simena and Kekova were fascinating. We would all love to do the day again.

• 5A great way to discover the beautiful coastal scenery

  We really enjoyed our Kekova + Simena kayaking day. It’s a great way to enjoy the beautiful coast, bays, swimming and a bit of sport. The Sea Kayak Turkey manager and our guide Buga were both really nice and even helped us book a dinner in one of the best restaurants in Kas. The lunch they organised at a friend’s small restaurant in Simena was simple but excellent. As a family, we took the private full day tour, a bit more expensive but it gave us more flexibility in choosing what to see and how long.

• 5Fantastic experience with personal touch

  I recently took a kayaking tour with Go Lycia, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully organized and truly memorable. Our tour guide and instructor, Buğra, was incredibly knowledgeable—not just about kayaking, but also about the rich history and culture of the area. His passion for the region really came through and added so much depth to the experience. What made this tour even more special was the personal touch. The tour was arranged just for me and my mum—just the two of us—which was such a rare and appreciated opportunity. Barbaros, the driver, went above and beyond to make it happen. Not only did he ensure everything ran smoothly, but he also shared fascinating insights into local life and the landscape, which made the journey feel intimate and authentic. Yes, it was not cheap, but honestly, worth every penny. Between the stunning scenery, the glimpse into local culture, the delicious food, and the thoughtful guidance from both Buğra and Barbaros, it’s an experience I’ll never forget. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the beauty and depth of Lycia in a unique and meaningful way!

• 5All in all a fantastic day on the water

  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.

• 5Great tour. Don't miss this!

  Amazing tour of the Kekova sunken ruins and suroundings . The guide provided us with really interesting historical context and useful kayaking tips. The pace was perfect, no rushing, plenty of time to admire the senery and swim in the mediteranean sea. Food was great. I higly recomend this. It was one of the highlights of our trip!
