The entire journey was amazing. Being out on the open sea and discovering the small islands we passed was both fun and educational. The guides were incredibly supportive and approachable, which made me feel comfortable whenever I found something challenging. Getting to cool off with a swim after some effort under the sun was the perfect reward. A fantastic experience that I’d suggest to everyone, including complete beginners and those who can’t swim.

Sea kayaking was an excellent activity. I had paddled before, but my wife hadn’t, and she still managed without any trouble. We were collected from our hotel, which was about a 40-minute drive, and dropped back afterward.

I tried kayaking for the first time and really enjoyed it. The instructor was positive and let everyone go at their own pace. We had stops to swim in the beautiful blue water, and the guide took great photos of the sea and St. Nicholas Island. It was a wonderful experience with amazing views. I gave 4 stars because I think there’s a bit of room for improvement.

The best part of my trip to Turkey! I joined a half-day kayaking tour with Coskun, and it was fantastic. The operation was very professional, and the tour around St. Nicholas Island and nearby areas was excellent. The snacks were tasty, and Coskun even helped me book my bus ticket. I also got to take some fresh fruit from the farm home with me. I highly recommend this tour!
