Sea Kayak and Wild Camp Turkey's Seven Capes

A trip that was both fun and challenging! Great fun, great scenery and great people to enjoy it with. The weather in late October was perfect! The camp sites got better as the trip progressed with plenty of opportunities for swimming in beautiful clear blue waters of the Mediterranean.

The trip was brilliant from start to finish. I added an extra night at the start of the holiday so enjoyed a really chilled sunny day by the pool before we started. From the initial contact to organise sleeping bag hire and through all the help with transfers and connections, Murat & Seda were incredible. Our guides for the trip Verdat and Doga were brilliant. The food was outstanding and every location for eating and camping was stunning. The group was great; everyone was friendly and supportive. This was my 2nd MBA trip and I intend to do more.

Prior to this trip, I'd about 1 hour of kayaking experience (obtain on a Primary School trip). This trip has convince me I've been missing out for 20 years! A truly wonderful experience that allows you to be one with the sea, yourself and the small number of like minded adventures around you. Fully recommend to any budding outdoor-er even reading this review!

As we learnt on my trip: Love is sausage!

Don’t even know where to start with this one…! The kayaking and Turkish coastline were out of this world. I’ve done a number of sea kayaking trips in the UK and Europe in the past, but the crystal clear waters and perfect temperatures made this an altogether different experience. We had all the camp spots to ourselves, and didn’t see another human for the entirety of the trip!

But it was actually everything else about the week that made it one I’ll never forget. From the charisma and professionalism of our guides, to the (genuinely unbelievable) camp food - the trip was run with such an impressive level of organisation whilst still being fun and light hearted.

Most of all though, I made genuine friendships with some amazing people that I’m sure will last well into the future. This was the first trip I’ve done alone for quite some time, and I was a bit apprehensive about group dynamic as a solo traveler. If only I’d known how great and like-minded everyone else on the trip would be (and how much fun we’d have) I’d definitely have booked this a while ago! 😃

I had such an incredible time on this trip. The route and scenery were brilliant. The organisation and logistics from MBA was brilliant, and our two guides during the expedition were great. Can’t wait for my next trip!

The trip was a blast, from the time we were collected until we were dropped off at the airport Murat and his team were great. Their knowledge, passion and friendliness ensured a great trip. The route was well planned yet flexible when we had some testing sea conditions, the kayaks and camping equipment were all in very good condition. The lunch and overnight camping spots were beautiful and we had hours of fun snorkelling and adventuring around the different locations. The scenery was breathtaking. Our group was great and varied in age from mid twenties to early sixties and everyone managed the daily distances comfortably. It's always great to spend time with fun, like-minded people on an adventure. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat!

WOW ! What an amazing trip, everything was great from day one. We were met at the airport by Seda who always had a smile, is super helpful, and kept everything running seamlessly. Our guides were Murat and Yunus who are both terrific, hard working, knowledgable, professional & friendly. They went out of their way to make the trip even more enjoyable. Every time we stopped for a break they crack on, preparing snacks & coffee. At the end of each day we were presented with amazing food. Thank you Murat & Yunus. I felt very lucky to have such a great group of fellow paddlers. So many great memories and stories. Too many to write about. I highly recommend this trip, it’s just amazing ! I will definitely book through MBA again.

Couldn't fault our trip with the team. From pick up, information, getting equipment, organisers friendly and accommodating, 5 days paddling around the coast, beautiful scenery, great food cooked by the guides Murat and Yunis, couldn't ask for better camping foods. Weather apart from a little wind on day 1, was hot, plenty of swimming spots/snorkelling/caves, we did the trip in reverse, which was great as the long stretch was done first and the best bits at the end. Thank you all

A very well organised trip put together by Murat. We were so well looked after from start to finish and felt safe in the teams capable hands. From pick-up to drop-off at the airport by the lovely Seda. To the hours kayaking and the great meals prepared and cooked by Murat and his team. There was always plenty of food, tea, coffee and water. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included but we would often stop for late morning snack of cakes, biscuits, fruit and nuts. Our flight was an evening arrival so we booked our own transfer and Murat booked us an extra nights stay at the accommodation. This gave us time to visit the deserted village of kayokoy and Clear Water Bay. Prior to the holiday we read the many reviews and can't really add much more to what's already been said. Two items on the optional kit list we recommend to bring are inflatable mat and pillow. Placed on top of supplied roll mat they make for a more comfortable nights sleep on the stonier beaches. The holiday is up there with one of our favourites. Not only for the beautiful scenic Turkish coastline and great guides but for the lovely group of fellow kayaker we shared the journey with. Thanks everyone for an amazing holiday.

A fantastic trip with brilliant hosts and group. Solo traveller, 26, felt very welcome in a group made mostly of pairs/couples. The scenery is stunning, the sea so clear, with lots of opportunities to swim and snorkel. The first two days were too windy to paddle in open sea, with very large swell, so we stuck to protected bays. This shortened the distance, but was supplemented by visiting St Nicholas Island with 7 churches and mosaic, and a camping spot with walking trails and excellent sea life. Recommend bringing an air mattress and pillow of some description - sleeping on a roll mat only was a form of penance. Thank you to the hosts for a fabulous holiday.

Amazing trip, 10/10 highlights below:

• The water was crystal clear blue, when ever you looked over the side of your kayak you were always mesmerised by the blue, and quite often you could see 10-15 metres down to the sea floor.
• Waking up everyday on a new beach and unzipping your tent to the sunrise colours in the sky, and then walking down the beach for a morning swim. I wish I could wake up like this everyday
• The paddle days were great distances, challenging enough so you feel like you have earnt your relax on the beach and delicious meal, but not too hard that you feel exhausted.
• The lovely group of people we were with, everyone was like-minded and enjoyed having a laugh in the day and star gazing at night
• The guides Murat, Josh, Doa, Seda (sorry about spellings!) were all amazing: super friendly, went over and above to make sure we had the best time and the whole operation ran perfectly.
• My boyfriend also proposed on this trip out on the kayaks one sunset, making it all extra special!
• We also really enjoyed staying 1 extra day to go up Babadağ and enjoyed some local cuisine in Fethiye

Fantastic trip with very knowledgeable and friendly guides. Would recommend the trip to anyone who enjoys sea kayaking or is looking to give it a go!

The trip was epic. The scenery was beautiful and the paddling great fun.

Murat and Coşkun worked tirelessly to look after us. They cooked great food for us and always ate last when they must have felt exhausted. We were also supported by the wonderful Seda who delivered us much needed supplies when camping.

I felt very lucky with our guides and group we seemed to bond really quickly. It included some naughty Lebanese who would squirt you with a water cannon if you weren’t watching. A photo of them has been included just in case they come back on future trips !!!

We had a couple of grade 3 days but everyone threw themselves into the adventure and it was an absolutely blast. Come with a positive, can do attitude and enjoy a beautiful coastline led by great guides.

This was my first multi-day kayaking trip. The weather was stunning! The guides amazing! The food 5 star! The equipment perfect! The blue of the water magnificent!

This trip was exceptional! Verdat and Josh were the best guides. Patient and most helpful.

Thank you for such a spectacular trip! And Seda, Love you to death! Keep smiling! :)

What a dream come true! For over 30 years I have dreamt about kayaking the southern coast of Turkey. My wife and I finally got the chance. Murat's kayak company is a wonderful jewel that he has hand sculpted in a magical part of this earth. He and "Josh" expertly lead our group around spectacular mountainous capes, pristine beaches, and hidden caves. They prepared such sumptuous meals that I wondered how they would top the prior (and they always did!). They were experts in managing the changing conditions and differing skill levels in the group. Their sensitivity to all the shifting factors was unique and created a special comradery among our group- like we were on a very much shared adventure! Seda, the energetic and playful support staff was also a wonderful guide and resource. I cannot thank them enough for such a special 10th wedding anniversary for my wife and me!

Crystal clear water, fantastic guides, great group We had so much fun Well planned trip with delicious food and incredible scenery

I have done kayaking and canoeing before but not sea kayaking so it was a new experience for me. I really enjoyed the wild camping on beautiful remote beaches and it was a great way to unwind after a long, hot tiring day of paddling. The guides were really helpful with setting us up on the kayaks and preparing all the meals which were really delicious. I liked that the guides weren’t over bearing on us and seemed relaxed while navigating and re routing our course when we decided to reduce the distance of our trip due to the rough sea conditions. I would do it again in a heart beat. It was a week to remember

An incredible trip with great hosts, guests, and views! My first sea kayaking trip and all the SeaKayakoy guys were great; massive shoutout to Vedat and Coşkun especially for great food, company and help throughout!

Fantastic trip - I've been on a number of Much Better kayaking trips and this is up there with the best. Our hosts Murat and Josh were fantastic and lovely, and Seda kept everything running smoothly. The kayaking had plenty of variety, and being warm I enjoyed the opportunities to swim and snorkel in the crystal clear water at breaks - a fantastic upside vs trips in more northern climates. The route passes some stunning rock formations and scenery - we were treated to turtles swimming alongside us as well as seeing eagles in some of the more secluded regions. The food was great - meals were ample and well prepared and a resupply half way through ensured that the last few days of kayaking food remained fresh and tasty. If you are looking for a kayaking adventure with a bit of challenge and a lot of payoff this is it!

I just got back from this amazing sea kayaking and wild camping trip in Turkey, and it was unforgettable! If you're looking for a holiday that feels like a real adventure, this is it.

The scenery was absolutely beautiful - crystal-clear waters, gorgeous nature, and so much wildlife. Every day, the views were just stunning!

The group I travelled with was fantastic. We all got along really well, and it felt like a trip with friends rather than strangers.

The kayaking was challenging enough to feel rewarding, but there was plenty of time to relax too. We snorkelled, snacked, and chatted a lot, which was perfect.

Everything was super well-organised, making it easy to relax and feel safe. The guides were awesome! They were very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to get along with.

Overall, this trip combined adventure, nature, and great company in the best way. Whether you're an experienced kayaker or a beginner, this is a trip you'll love.

It was an adventure of a life time ! Took me completely of my comfort zone and I loved it. Mourat, Josku and Seda were great ! Kayaking was hard at times but it was great fun! I would recommend it to anyone xx I will be back there x

If you are thinking about this, just stop thinking about it and book it. Murat, Coskun and Seda are brilliant.

We actually got thrown into the deep end and did the paddle backwards. So day 1 was actually day 5 so we had to be fluid and we trusted Murat and Coskun with their advice.

The guides were amazing and the food they prepared was so tasty. The scenery is outstanding and we got to see turtles in the wild. The beaches we camped on were brilliant.

I did this with my son and its just an experience that will always live with me. I also would like to think we have made some new friends.

We added an extra day on in the digs to rest and recuperate afterwards and it felt like a good idea. Oh get to Cin Bal restaurant in the village, you will not be disappointed (if you eat meat that is). But seriously book this holiday and have a great paddle.

One bit of advice is to take a decent camping air mattress, mine failed but I am now used to lying on rocks to sleep.

This was an incredible trip! Our guides Murat and Josh were experienced, welcoming and taught us all how to improve our kayaking over the week. The scenery and wildlife was stunning, including turles and wild boar! The group was a wonderful bunch of people. The kayaking itself was challenging on some days but there was plenty of downtime to relax or swim. The food was delicious at every meal. If you go on this trip you won't regret it!

This was an incredible trip! The southern coast of Turkiye is a beautiful part of the world and kayaking along its stunning coastline is the best way to see it.

Murat and his team are kind, enthusiastic and soul warming people to be around. They will make your trip an epic adventure of good food, great company and unforgettable nights watching the sun set from your camp.

From the moment I embarked I knew I was in for an extraordinary experience.

The journey began with a warm welcome from our knowledgeable guides Murat (Not Matir🫢) and Seda (Not Soda🫣) We jumped into a minibus that was made for rockstars, and went to the guest house to meet the rest of the adventurers. It was a great opportunity to eat some tasty local food, & get to know everyone. You start with an air conditioned room , pool, bar & adorable polar bear. Don't get used to this.

The next day, after a comprehensive safety briefing, we were on the ocean. I've kayaked once, on a very calm river in the UK, for about 4 hours. That's the total of my experience. Despite this, after instruction from Coşkun (possibly Joshkun maybe, but definitely Jesus) and Murat, I was sailing. soon we were exploring secluded coves and deserted beaches, only accessible by sea, offering a sense of exclusivity and escape from the world. By day 3 I had the technique nailed.

We found ourself in a myriad of beautiful coves and beaches, one with a fresh water spring and a waterfall. I did not expect a clean shower on day 2. We even got a campsite with showers & Wi-Fi, due to a slight change in the route, on day 1. They check every night and morning at the local weather, to ensure everyone's safety.

Each stop for Lunch was beautiful. Just finding a random spot of land to stop and prepare food is very satisfying. You feel like you could be the only ones for 100s of miles, then suddenly, you are beaching yourself at a restaurant bar, with a shop just up the road, The last hotel & beach bar we stopped at was glorious. One of the party, had been there before 😂

You eat like royalty & will still get a chance or two to stop of at a shop to top up on the essentials. like eggs (yeah eggs for breakfast obviously) and beer. Be careful though. The chillies could be peppers 🌶️🫑🥵 There was enough tea coffee & water, all of which is split and stored across the party. Everything seemed to taste even better under the Turkish Sun.

What made this trip truly special was the camaraderie. Everyone in the group got on so well. I wouldn't have become the pirate I am now, if it wasn't for the advice and support from the party. This isn't the type of holiday I would book for myself. I'm a spa, pool, drink sleep kinda gal

This isn't just a trip; it's a journey of discovery, relaxation, and connection with nature and fellow adventurers. It's an experience I'll cherish forever and would highly recommend to anyone seeking a unique and enriching escape. Especially if your holiday wouldn't normally look like this. If you are like me. Just fly over to Istanbul after & treat yourself!

No sea kayaking experience required but you must be fit and you’ll have an amazing adventure with Murat and his team. See sights that can’t normally be seen close up and personal. This was my first adventure and I will definitely be doing another. Thanks to Murat and his team for making such amazing memories for me and the group!

I don’t know where to start Anyone like a challenge at sea and like to wild camp This one is for you Many thanks to Murat and Coskun they were the best guides Overall unforgettable trip for me Thanks again and see you soon

Absolutely unforgettable experience of the gorgeous Aegean, with views/stops that could only be seen in a kayak. Excellent and caring/conscientious leadership from guides. No complaints whatsoever. Highly recommend.

This was a truly amazing trip! Murat and Coskun were great guides and looked after us all so well. The food was exceptional and the views were beautiful. It was challenging but we worked well as a group and we’re allowed to do things at our own pace.

What an absolutely fabulous trip. Having done lots of camping/adventure style group trips, I can definitely say this was one of the best.

The route was well thought out - with the easier days up front to get everyone used to things - and lots of stops and points of interest along the way, so it never got boring.

Our guide, Murat, was great. Relaxed but with just the right amount of looking after - and the one day it did get a bit windy he was reassuring and made sure everyone was safe. Coskun was also just brilliant - full of energy and always finding some sea creature or other to show us.

Also - a small thing - but the kit was absolutely top quality. From the tents to the camping stoves and cutlery. Clearly no corners cut.

Many thanks to all!
