Good 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.

Very 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.

Customer feedback, beautiful day kayaking
It was June 1st and a fantastic kayak trip with extraordinary viewpoints. I recommend it.

Definitely 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.

Yaşar 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.
