We did the Kekova Classic sea kayaking tour with Oguzhan. First of all, Oguzhan is a great guide. He communicates very clearly and is friendly. 10/10 for the guide. He did a good job balancing everyone on the tour and we all had an enjoyable and safe experience.
The tour starts in Kas at 07:30. If you didn’t get a chance to eat breakfast, don’t worry, you stop at a gas station where you can Turkish breakfast pastries (simit, acma, pogaca). You arrive in Ucagiz and they have a private sea kayak yard where you get set up with the crew. We visited a beautiful bay (tersane koyu) for our first swimming stop, then kayaked over the sunken city and had lunch by the floating tomb, swam her and returned to Ucagiz. I think this tour is very reasonable for a first-time kayaker.
Overall, you can tell the company and the guide Oguzhan are very experienced and well prepared. Would recommend to anyone who wants to exercise a tiny bit and see the ruins up close.

We absolutely enjoyed the kayak tour over the sunken city! The organization was excellent: our guide made sure everybody understood how to use the kayaks (it was our first time actually), was very patient and positive! At first we kayaked to the Kekova island, than over sunken city to the beautiful village where we had wonderful fish for lunch and some time to explore the tiny but very beautiful village and after that kayaked back to the point we started. I felt very safe during the trip thanks to very professional guide!
The tour is almost private, we were just 5 people without guides (3 kayaks).
Highly recommended

We did a kayaking tour with Oğuzhan and it was great. Very well organized: the departure is early morning so that you beat the crowds to a shipyard beach, Kekova sunken city and Simena castle. Oğuzhan is also very knowledgeable on the history and nature of the places we visited. Highly recommended

From start to finish an amazing experience. I researched various tours of the ancient Roman and Lyceian ruins beforehand and there were a few companies however I decided to wait until getting into town to book. The owners of our accommodation highly recommended dragoman. I popped into the dragoman office just before closing and was ably assisted in choosing the most suitable kayaking course for us. We opted for the full day and drove ourselves to the launch point which also meant a reduced price. It was great how we were able to book for the next morning so easily.
Our guide was terrific. Patient, knowledge, kind and a great teacher. He knew so much about the ancient history of the sites as well as modern curiosities. He had studied extensively which I loved being a history buff myself.
It was a long day of paddling in a gorgeous setting on excellent sea kayaks. Lunch was at a ramshackle hermit's restaurant (I mean this respectfully- he was a friendly old man living alone in a remote location) and was bliss - fish He caught himself with the biggest chips I've ever had. We then walked a part of the Lycean Way to more ruins. The walk itself was beautiful and was perhaps my favourite part of a memorable day.

We want to thank Oğuzhan for a wonderful day on the water exploring Kekova and then walking to Aperlai sunken city. Oğuzhan explained the history, pointed out the elements of the cities, and ensured we knew all about the sunken cities and surrounding area during our travels by water and land. He made sure we had a great time throughout the day. I would highly recommend him for your Kekova tour. I wanted to note that even amid Covid-19, we felt very safe on the outing due to the precautions taken by the tour company.

We really enjoyed our time on the kayaking tour, we would go back again tomorrow if we could!
Dragoman tours set off a little earlier than others so you arrived with enough time to enjoy the stops without other kayaking tours being there. The safety instructions were clear, tour guides were really friendly and we definitely felt like we were in safe hands. The tour itself is great with beautiful sparkling waters and interesting history around the sunken city.
Also, Oğuzhan (guide) took some great photos during the trip and very kindly send them out in a we-transfer link the next morning.

We did sea kayaking around Kekova with our guide Oğuzhan Durmuş on July 5th 2022. It was a 10/10 experience from the beginning to the end. He has been a great instructor and a friend throughout the tour which made the experience even better.
We arrived at Ucagiz with a car which was comfy/airconditioned. Then Oğuzhan gave us a quick education about paddling. We went around each and every interesting spot and each time he gave great detailed information on the history and culture of Lycians and the region.
Our guide was kind, experienced and the paddling itself as well as the Tersane Koyu & Kaleköy visits were super fun. Oğuzhan even bought us organic bananas from the locals. :) He always helped us get the most out of the time we had in different spots.
You should totally try it. It was an unforgottable day with well-planned schedule and great equipments/team by Dragoman. Thanks a lot!😊💜

We took a kayak tour in Kekova with Dragoman around the sunken city and it was really amazing! We took the short route so it was quite easy and we enjoyed every second of the tour. The scenery was amazing. Special thanks to our guide Oguzhan and Rukiye in the sales office. Great team, very reliable place! I recommend to everyone.

Because they are simply the best. Very professional crew, boat and back office, ensuring a safe diving experience with full of memories under and above water. I suggest them for try dives, trainings from zero to hero.

Went on the Kekova sea kayaking trip and absolutely loved it! Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun. Multiple swim spots, though the first was particularly good for snorkelling! Lunch was included in the price and delicious as well, though definitely bring a bit of extra cash for the goat’s milk ice cream (which was banging)!! Also managed to spot a loggerhead turtle which was amazing!

Hi how far away from Belek in Antalya are you please ?I would like to book a tour with you
Written October 7, 2018
Hello William,
It takes around 5 hours driving from Belek to Kaş. and probably 6 hours by bus.
You can come in the morning and stay one or two nights in Kaş if you would like to join a trip in here.
As a travel agency we can also help you to find a hotel or arrange a private transfer.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you have further questions.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Best Regards
Elif
