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 group of 8 embarked the "Revenge" at Fethiye for a 3-day cruise, and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. On Day 2, the weather turned a little ugly, but it didn't last long. The crew made a few changes to the schedule and menu because it was not possible to cook. The Skipper and crew were excellent in all respects. The food was great. Capt Ergul was delightful company as well, and kept us in the loop about everything. Our other 8 co-passengers were wonderful too!

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.

Booked through Goodman tours weeks before our scheduled Balloon flight via Viator. Received confirmation, got tickets. Night before our flight we get an email, not from Goodman tours but from Viator advising that Balloon flight has been cancelled due to “overbooking”. Rang Goodman tours, they say cancelled because of bad weather but there were heaps of other balloon flights the next morning. Very disappointed as we went to Cappadocia specifically for the Balloon ride. Could of let us know earlier in the day so we could book another flight. Goodman tours offered a complimentary activity, but if never eventuated. Will not use them again.
