Me and my partner did this kayaking trip while on our holiday in Kalkan. We had an amazing day. The guides were great, friendly and knowledgeable. They made the process very easy. We had a message from them the day before our booking regarding transport and made the whole pick up process very smooth. Lunch was included and it was delicious. The swimming spots were gorgeous and needed on a hot day! We had an amazing day, would definitely recommend.

The best thing was the friendly, helpful and knowledgeable guide (barbaros). The lunch was also very good. Nothing to dislike, apart from the timekeeping of some members of our party. The guides were very patient with them,

Thanks a lot, Stephen! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the day — and yes, sometimes time takes a little holiday too 😄 We really appreciate your kind words, and it was a pleasure to guide you. Lunch with a view and a bit of patience — part of the job! Hope to paddle with you again someday. — Barbaros & the Sea Kayak Türkiye crew 🌊🛶
