What you can expect
Set out on a full-day sea kayaking adventure in the heart of Kekova, one of Türkiye’s most beautiful coastal regions. Choose the departure option that suits you best, with starts available from Kaş, Kalkan, or directly from Üçağız Village in Kekova. Depending on your selected option, transfers are included or arranged before the tour begins.
After a short safety briefing and gear check with your certified guide, paddle across the crystal-clear turquoise waters of Kekova. Glide quietly above the ancient Sunken City, submerged after earthquakes centuries ago, and explore hidden coves, rocky shores, and limestone cliffs shaped by wind and sea.
Unlike many tours, our schedule is designed to avoid the busiest periods on the water whenever possible, allowing for a more relaxed experience with fewer crowds. Small groups and an easy pace give you time to appreciate both the natural beauty and the rich history of the region.
Arrive at the timeless village of Simena, accessible only by boat or on foot, where traditional stone houses climb the hillside beneath a medieval castle overlooking the bay. Enjoy a freshly prepared Mediterranean lunch and take time to swim, explore the village, visit the castle, or simply relax in the shade by the waterfront.
On the return journey, your guide may include an additional swimming stop in a secluded bay. When sea and weather conditions allow, there may also be an opportunity for optional cliff jumping at a suitable location, adding a fun and memorable finish to the day.
This tour is suitable for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. No previous kayaking experience is required. With professional guides, quality equipment, small groups, and flexible departure options from Kaş, Kalkan, or Kekova, it offers an ideal combination of adventure, history, nature, and authentic local hospitality.
Whether you are visiting the region for the first time or returning to explore it from a different perspective, this is one of the most rewarding ways to experience the spectacular coastline of Kekova.
