Very well organised trip with superb technical instruction and great socialising in a lively resort (with not a single football shirt in sight).

Hotel in a great location, very well organised activities, great group of people, beautiful town and surroundings, activities just the right length and effort required.
What did you think of your group leader?
Great technically, enthusiastic and a party animal as well. Brilliant.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Get fit before you leave. This trip is not for couch potatoes.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
The local Turkish provider is well recommended. Especially good is the Scuba Diver sessions. If you're qualified, take your PADI card. The diving is superb with great equipment, staff and facilities.

I had a fantastic time. The activities kept me busy throughout the week but there was also time in the day to relax by the pool in the hotel. Despite the hotel only being 3 stars it was lovely.

The canyoning. The guides were great and the support from everyone in the group was amazing. Also the bike ride as it was quite challenging.

Fantastic. He took us to some lovely restaurants in Kas and was very encouraging during the activities.

Bring waterproof sandals for the kayaking.

An excellent first group holiday for me...exodus provided the perfect balance of activities to down time and I can honestly say I was not bored for a minute....the holiday most definitely exceeded expectation..very well organised..the hotel was basic but as described and the staff were so friendly...

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Cycling all the way to the top of the hill ...think it was 7k? and the hurtling down the other side as 40 mph...
Canyoning must come a close second...loved the abseiling and jumping off the rocks into the river below
What did you think of your group leader?
Maho as fantastic and certainly went the extra mile..he was well organised and each evening took us to another great restaurant before we hit Hideaway...
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Just do it.....some of the activities are a little challenging but the rewards were well well worth it...oh and take padded cycling shorts if you are not used to cycling..and proper walking boots are ESSENTIAL for canyoning day
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Paragliding was fabulous but try and get to fly early evening as the sun starts to set. rather than lunch time...it certainly added another dimension..
Maho and the other two guys photographed all our activities even the canyoning and kayaking which was fab so no real need to worry about a waterproof camera as long as you buy the disc...great quality and cheap.
I read all the reviews before I booked...really helpful....

Wasn't sure what to expect from a Solo Travellers Holiday, but after being recommended Exodus by a good friend I was happily surprised by my experience. The flights/airport sections were well managed (luggage tags were a good idea to get some early doors snooping done) and the hotel was nice enough...perfect for a place to rest your head after a long active day, close to town, well staffed and well maintained.The activities were well organised and great fun...but the real highlight was the group of people I was with...really made it the best experience...everywhere we went we all stuck together (for the most part) and enjoyed it together...

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Definitely the Canyoning...abseiling down a 55m waterfall was EPIC...advice to people doing that trip late on in the season...it can get v. cold when you're in a big group and waiting for people to move forward...a hot flask of tea wouldn't go amiss ;-)
What did you think of your group leader?
Maho was a good guy, very organised and knowledgeable, always felt safe with him wherever we went. However, he did repeat everything 2 or 3 times, which got a little tedious after a while...also he started the week briefing us about the next day's activities in the evenings asking us all to meet for an hour to go through things...I felt this was unneccesary as we were all together on the bus returning from activities, that would've been the perfect time to talk about the next day and then our free time in the evening becomes more flexible.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
The advice on the Exodus site is spot on...they do forget to mention the Mosque loudspeakers...you get used to them after a couple of days, but it you're not a fan of 4.30am wake-up calls...you should definitely take earplugs!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Where are we going next?

A fantastic and varied week in an incredibly beautiful part of Turkey. Great group, great guides and really well organised activities, despite some weather problems at the start of our trip.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Either kayaking over the sunken city in beautiful surroundings, or surviving the canyoning trip!
What did you think of your group leader?
Ozghur was knowledgable about the history of the area, always ready to help with anything we wanted and brilliant at persuading us to get out in the evenings even when our aching limbs suggested that we'd rather go to bed!
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Take absolutely all the kit you think you might need, including gloves, padded shorts, waterproofs and earplugs for the mosque. Also be prepared to grab some sleep when and where you can - after long days the bars and restaurants of Kas are still too tempting!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
We had a terrible flight out to Turkey in a storm, and were delayed for several hours so didn't reach our hotel until nearly midnight on the first night. Despite this, our guides and the hotel staff were friendly, welcoming and attended to all our needs despite probably having had to wait around most of the day for us. Although not a good start, this made us feel like we were in good hands. Our first activity of the holiday (the walk up the gorge) was also a non-starter due to flooding (one of our group was nearly washed away!), and it was a shame that there was no alternative and that we therefore missed out on this, but the weather was extreme so there was little that could be done about this. All in all though, this was my first activity holiday and it couldn't have been better - would definitely go again!

An amazing holiday with a wide array of things to do and challenge you.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
So many!
First trek to Patara set the pace of wonder and feeling free. Probably hurtling down the side of a mountain when mounatin biking and my first scuba diving experience where I really did have to relax and trust myself.
And then the chance to go paragliding which I will be doing again sometime!
What did you think of your group leader?
Fantastic guide whom I felt I could trust if ever a situation demanded an emergency response- this was an activity holiday after all.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Be prepared to challenge yourself. It's worth it. An amazing part of the world with a lot to do. Take a few good jumpers for cold evenings and after getting wet to warm up.
If you get room 309 change it as it is the only one that does not get hot water- it gets there last! The staff were very happy to move us.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
A brilliant short holiday. Another week to relax would be good as there is a lot to do around Kas as well as the activites.
