The Tour

Ucagiz village is a good place to start our training because of its calm waters.

​After an introduction into the equipment and some preparation you'll receive a full safety briefing. On land and in the water we will have training about topics like technique, posture and balance.

​There will be plenty of time in the inner bay to train, until everyone gets a feeling for paddling and the kayaks before the tour actually starts.

​

First the group will paddle towards the Kekova Island and visit the Sunken City. A little further is a mini bay for the first swim stop on the Island.

​

From here it goes eastward to Asirli Island and the Pirate cave , we can enter the cave and maybe even swim (if the traffic allows it).

After the cave we head westward back to Gökkaya or Hamidiye bay for a swim.

​

Simena is our stop for a well deserved nad a little late lunch.

There will be plenty of time to explore the village.

Depending on timing we can ad more swim-breaks to the final part to our base.
