Boat Trips from Kaş
Kekova & Sunken City
Full dayThe most popular boat trip from Kaş. Sail to the famous sunken Lycian city of Kekova, where ancient walls and staircases are visible beneath clear water. Includes swimming stops in turquoise bays, a visit to Kaleköy (Simena) village and its hilltop castle, and lunch on board. Boats depart from Kaş harbour around 10 AM and return by 5–6 PM.
Kekova by Sea Kayak
Full dayPaddle a sea kayak over the sunken city — the only way to get truly close to the underwater ruins (swimming above them is prohibited). More intimate than a boat trip. Includes guide, lunch, and all equipment. Moderate fitness required.
Private Gulet Charter
Full day or multi-dayHire a traditional wooden gulet for your group. Choose your own route — Kekova, the islands, or along the coast towards Kalkan. Includes captain, lunch, and drinks. Ideal for families or groups of 4–8.
Kas Islands Boat Trip
Full dayA circuit of the small islands near Kaş with multiple swimming and snorkeling stops. Less touristic than Kekova. Good for people who just want to swim in incredible water all day.
Meis (Kastellorizo) Day Trip
Full dayTake the ferry to the Greek island of Meis, visible from Kaş harbour. Walk the colourful waterfront, visit the Blue Cave, have lunch, and return the same day. You'll need your passport. Ferries run daily in season.

- Bring a towel and swimsuit — most boats make 3–4 swimming stops.
- Lunch is usually included — simple but good. Tell the operator about dietary needs in advance.
- Book through us — we know the reliable operators and can get you a fair price.
- Seasickness — the sea is usually calm, but if you're sensitive, take medication before boarding.
