Full-Day Kaş Kekova Boat Trip
Description
Our boat is wooden boat. We run boat tours in Kekova, but ours is a little different. Our boat actually has a capacity of 45 people, but we take a maximum of 35. Because once it gets crowded, that relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere disappears—and that’s exactly what we want to avoid. Most boats in the area go out with 80–100 people. We prefer to keep things more calm and comfortable. No music on the boat. Imagine a day where everyone has enough space, and you can enjoy the views without any rush… that’s exactly the experience we aim to offer. In short, if you’re looking for a more peaceful and enjoyable tour instead of a crowded one, you’re in the right place. Our lunch is delicious, fresh and local mezes made by captain wife. Our tourist guide will be on the tour and give all info to you about region.

We had a great time on the trip! There was lots of shade on the boat so it was very comfortable all day. Tughan was our guide and he was excellent; lots of interesting information and well organized. The water and island swim spots are beautiful. Lunch had lots of variety and was delicious! We would highly recommend this tour!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again. Regards
We were somewhat disappointed by this excursion overall. We were particularly looking forward to seeing the sunken city of Kekova, but unfortunately, you don't really get to see much of it. The boat passes by very quickly, and visibility from the boat is quite limited. We also felt that the itinerary could be better planned. There were perhaps too many stops, with too much time spent at some locations and not enough at others. In addition, many boats tend to stop at the same places at the same time, which makes the experience feel quite crowded. The water was not as clear in some areas, and with so many boats around, it unfortunately gave the impression that the water was somewhat polluted. The boat itself was also quite crowded, which took away from the relaxing aspect of the excursion. That being said, the captain, staff and the guide were all very attentive and kind throughout the day, which made a real difference. They were genuinely welcoming and did their best to make sure everyone was comfortable. For that reason alone, we still consider it a nice excursion overall, despite the aspects that could be improved.
Dear Alexandra, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re sorry that some aspects of the tour did not fully meet your expectations. Regarding the Sunken City, the visible remains are quite limited, with most of them located in the shallow coastal area of Kekova Island. Boats cannot pass very close to the ruins due to the risk of damaging the remains, so the view from the boat can naturally be limited. Our tour is also designed as a boat and swimming tour, which is why the itinerary includes several swimming stops. Since you joined us in August, one of the busiest periods in the region, some popular bays can be crowded. Despite this, we operate at around 70% capacity and always try to choose the quieter bays whenever possible. We are very happy that you appreciated the kindness and attention of our captain, guide and crew. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to welcome you again. Best regards.
The tour is exactly what it mentions on the page. The boat was comfortable and had plenty of seating to enjoy the views. Sometimes, it was hard to understand the tour guide's English, but that didn't prevent learning about the sunken city. Drinks are not included, so ensure you bring cash to buy beers or others.
Thank you for your honest review! We’re glad you enjoyed the comfortable boat, the views, and learning about the Sunken City. We hope to welcome you again. Best regards
Everything was up to expectations. Welcoming staff, many swimming opportunities and fantastic food.
Dear Teekailu, Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that the tour met your expectations and that you enjoyed our friendly team, the swimming stops, and the homemade food. We hope to welcome you again. Best regards.
Absolutely brilliant trip and we would highly recommend it on all fronts. We were picked up from and dropped off at our hotel which was fantastic and then had the loveliest day on the boat with lots of opportunities for snorkelling and a delicious lunch. Our hosts were charming and knowledgeable. We saw other boats which were jam packed with people and were so grateful that ours was limited to 35 which meant we had ample space to relax and enjoy the day. Fabulous!
Dear Kirstyhopkins, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Your recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you again. Best regards.

Thank you very much for your valued review. Hope to see you again. Regards
A nice experience visiting beautiful corners of the coast near Kas on a boat. Ruins of Lycian and Roman cities and stops to swim in beautiful areas of the coast and nearby small islands. The guide Turgham was charming and surprised us since he knew some Spanish. The tour is highly recommended and at a very good price.
