Beautiful way to explore the coastline with adequate time for swimming stops in picturesque bays. Swimming with the sea turtles is an experience my children won't forget! Our captain and his helper were polite and easy going, allowing flexibility in how long we spent at each stop based on our wishes. It was a wonderful outing for our family of four.

We loved our trip with Eda and Faith! My parents and I were visiting Kas and wanted to explore the coastal area around and this was the perfect way to do it. Eda and Faith were so welcoming and warm and provided us with a personalized experience based on what we wanted to see and where we wanted to go. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our experience, taking us around the Sunken City ruins, seeing Simena and taking us to their favorite bays (super clear water) to swim in. We even expressed wanting to go to certain types of bays and Faith took the small boat to explore the area around and find exactly what we were looking for. The boat was very comfortable and spacious with lots of opportunities to sit in the shade or get some sun. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone thinking about taking a tour.

I was looking for an experience to remember and to share with my son far from the usual boat trips that have a fixed program and I have found it!Orhan helped us with all indications before our trip and Junior, the skipper of our boat, was really kind to me and my son of 16. After few minutes from the beginning of our trip we have seen a dolphin and it’s been thrilling! Amazing bays, quiet atmosphere, swimming and jumping in the water all the time but , most of all, we could decide when to go, when to stay and how long. We have seen ruins with exhaustive explanations and felt totally free to swim in amazing bays with turtles too! My son and I will always remember this day and thank Orhan and Junior for their assistance.

This is the perfect boat for a family, small group or a couple who want to chill. We are a family of 4 and loved it. The boat is so well kept, and clean. The captain was an amazing host. The area is full of ruins like the Sunken City and Simena Castle. Water is gorgeous with so many beautiful bays to swim and fish 🐟🐠. Kids had a ball. 100% recommend..
