Excellent kayaking with a purpose - Excellent experience! Our instructor Yasar managed the group professionally, showed the best places on the route and told history insights. It is 8 km route, 4 hours of paddling, I've got a bit tired at the end. But the tempo is not hard, anyone can handle it. I recommend!

Kekova sea kayak trip - Our guide Yasar was amazing. He was friendly and patient with the group. The sites are stunning and the only way I believe to enjoy them is by kayak so you can up close. The Simena castle had stunning views. The lunch of fresh caught fish with rice and salad on a rooftop patio was perfect to end a perfect day on the water.

Horrible guide - The Kekova sea kayaking tour was a letdown despite the area's reputation. Our guide was consistently impatient, rushing our group from start to finish and frequently yelling directions without proper explanations. Even during the included lunch, which should have been a relaxing break, we were hurried along. The underwater ruins, which are the main attraction, were underwhelming. They weren't explained well historically, and when viewing them underwater with our GoPro, they were indistinguishable from ordinary rocks. For the price paid, the experience didn't deliver the value or educational insights we expected. The natural scenery has potential, but the poor guiding and rushed pace made it impossible to enjoy properly. Consider alternative ways to explore this area.
