I booked this tour as a private tour and I am absolutely thrilled. Already at the pick-up you feel like a VIP because of the spacious vehicle. The catering is fully included and very good despite current legal restrictions. Great importance is attached to hygiene measures for pandemic prevention without having to have any significant restrictions on the experience. The guide speaks perfect German. Apart from that, he also speaks several other languages fluently. He really has an extensive expertise. You can have an excellent conversation about the cultures, mythologies as well as art. Although several sites are visited that are a bit far from each other, one is at the sights most of the time. The ancient buildings are fascinating and it is an indescribable feeling to stand in the middle of an ancient trade route while the guide describes life and events there at that time. At least as impressive are the waterfalls surrounded by nature and a park that invites you to explore. For cultural tourists, this tour is without a doubt a must.

Every guided tour Akdeniz Adventures leads is specifically designed to maximize the experience of each customer. That means going above and beyond what you expect. During our Kayakoy to Oludeniz hike, we set the pace as fast or slow as you (the customer) desires. Around the half-way point, we stop for an extended break, allowing the hikers an opportunity to take the breathtaking view of the Mediterranean (and Saint Nicolas Island!). This is also when our guides break out coffee, tea, and snacks! Every experience you have with Akdeniz Adventures will be enjoyable and unlike any other. Every guide is a native English speaker, knows the surrounding area, and puts the comfort of the customer (you) above all else.

Inclusions: Snacks, Coffee & Tea are offered at the half-way viewpoint.

I was in Fethiye with a group of friends and Akdeniz Adventures arranged a six-hour boat trip for us out of Ölüdeniz. The scenery was spectacular - water doesn't get more turquoise than that! We stopped at three different spots for swimming and snorkelling. I liked that it felt like just the right amount of time in each place without feeling rushed. The sea is so salty you can literally just lie back and recline in it - so relaxing! I'm not a super confident snorkelled (seasickness...) but some of the spots were really calm and I enjoyed floating around and looking at the the fish and sea urchins. (We brought our own snorkelling gear, but there were also pool noodles on the boat.). The captain was really friendly and the crew served us drinks (for purchase) and lunch. There was plenty of shade on the boat - great as we had lots of kids with us - and comfortable benches and mats to lie on on the upper deck. I was grateful it wasn't as loud and crowded as the "party boats" around us. It was just our group on the boat, but I was aware that this was a very doable trip in terms of "social distancing", as vacations during COVID take some creativity. Totally recommend it!

Our guide Tolga organised tailor made program for us, adapted to the children. The hotels and the sites were excellent. Walking paths and the duration were perfect for young children. We finished the trekking by nice swimming spots. We recommended Tolga to other friends. His knowledge of the history and the nature helped us to discover lot of new things.

We had a fantastic boat trip, Freddie was a brilliant guide and nothing was too much trouble. We hadn’t children ranging from 4 months- 15 years and some young adults and grandparents too! From start to finish it was amazing. Lots of room! Lovely bean bags and sun loungers upstairs, even took us to areas that we hadn’t been on previous trips. Had all snorkelling stuff and floats even for the baby. The food his wife made was amazing and their was something for everyone! Freddie is an amazing family man and tour guide! Most importantly was his adorable daughter! Thanks for a great day out Freddie and family xx ???????? ???????? ????‍♂️

Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy this boat to the fullest due to Covid restrictions and some things not being allowed, such as the foam party. This was part of the reason we booked it for my son - however there wasn't really much children's entertainment either so that was a bit of a disappointment. However, the staff were friendly enough and still had good banter with the kids, especially Jack Sparrow and the guy who was doing the photography. The photos were nice but I think a tad over priced for me personally. But it was a nice momento for my son as it was his first time in Turkey and also out on boats at sea and swimming in the sea. The staff were very encouraging and helped get him in to the way as he was a bit apprehensive about it. We also enjoyed a short shopping trip at a small village, and lunch was lovely.
