GULET ACTIVITY CRUISE

8 days from GBP689 to GBP799 including flights

Tripcode: ATU

Itinerary

Day 1: Fly to Dalaman, transfer to Kalkan.
Day 2: SCUBA Diving

Relaxing cruise to Kas in time for lunch: in the afternoon we use the services of the highly recommended diving school operated by our Turkish partners. The PADI registered school uses top-quality European equipment and has a purpose-built dive boat. For beginners we suggest a 'Discover Scuba' course, which includes a one-on-one dive with an instructor. Qualified divers can take a boat dive. To participate you must be in good health, and will be asked to sign a medical disclaimer and doctors certificate for any medical conditions. Qualified divers will be required to show proof of qualification.
Day 3: Canyoning

The mountains behind Kas are riddled with deep canyons. We normally use the Kibris Canyon, one of the most fantastic natural phenomena in the Taurus Mountains - a spectacular gorge where springs and waterfalls cascade into the rapidly flowing cold river. It is ideal for canyoning - swimming, abseiling and leaping into pools of mountain water. You will be provided with a wet suit, harness, life jacket and a helmet. Requirements: Must be able to swim. The day is long and strenuous at times. Please make sure you are confident of your physical fitness and physique, have a head for heights, and the courage to jump a few metres into pools of water.
Day 4: Sea kayaking

Today we spend a full day sea kayaking in the sheltered bay near Kekova Island. Using one or two man boats we paddle towards the island to the site of the famous sunken city. Although it is no Atlantis, you can clearly make out the harbour walls. Kayaking is an excellent low impact way of exploring the site. Later we paddle to the village of Simena. This spectacular spot is located on a peninsula and is inaccessible by road. The village is overlooked by a hilltop Ottoman castle with excellent views of the whole bay. To participate you must be able to swim and have the physique necessary to fit in the kayak.
Day 5: Relaxing day cruising and swimming along the coast to Kas.
Day 6: Free day in Kas, with optional paragliding for the more adventurous and adrenaline seeking. The start point is 1,000 metres above sea level and the flight takes us out over Kas and the surrounding islands. Alternatively, take a second chance to dive at one of the 35 dive sites in the area - Kas boasts some of the best diving sites in the Mediterranean.
Day 7: Mountain biking

To finish things off we have an exhilarating and superb mountain bike day. The route involves some climbing, but is generally downhill, as we start in the hills and finish near Kalkan. After breakfast, we are transported (1 hour) with our vehicle to the small village of Sutlegen way above the town of Kas (1,200 m.). Later we descend through remote villages with sweeping views across valleys and occasional mountain vistas over our 1000 m descent. Requirements: Min. height to fit bikes: 5 feet.
Day 8: Transfer to Dalaman, fly to London.
