Great trip! - All was delivered as promised, we received instructions about the meeting the day before, all went as planned. We were a big group, so it was a little hard for one guide to navigate so he had to scream a lot at people who were too fast or those who were too slow. It would be easier with two guides. The sunken city itself is hardly visible while water is choppy but we saw a lot of ancient ruins over and under water. The guide explained everything the best he could and answered all questions. We were not rushed, we had enough time to swim, visit the Castle.

Kayaking - As a family of four we went out on a sea kayaking trip with Yaşar today. Could not recommend highly enough. Yaşar ensured we were all safe at all times and provided good instruction while also making it fun. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and was happy to answer questions. Lots of swimming breaks, and breaks for ice cream and lunch was delicious! Yaşar also took a lot of amazing photos which we bought but there was no pressure to do so.

Change of scenery and pleasure! - Magnificent day of kayaking, swimming, goat's milk ice cream, discovery! And as we were only 4 couples, we were able to get to know each other and it was very friendly.

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.
