Overview

This trip is for anyone wanting to have 'a go' at kayaking or have never paddled before. If you are looking for an easy, guided trip with no hassle whilst enjoying the renowned beauty of the Kekova area, then this is the trip for you!

This is a 100% Sea kayaking sight-seeing trip, passing all of Kekova's top landmarks, such as the Sunken City of Kekova, Simena Castle, Tersane (Shipyard) Bay, Theimussa (Ucagiz) and many others, all from the seat of a kayak. See Kekova as it is meant to be from the Turkish Riviera.

If you are a complete beginner or novice don't worry, this is a physical activity similar to going for a long brisk walk.
