What makes Private Full Day Ekincik Boat Tour a unique experience ?
After our guests are picked up, we depart from Dalyan harbour and reach the ancient city of Kaunos and rock tombs dating back to 500 BC with a 30 minute journey over the Dalyan River.
During our break in the ancient city of Kaunos, our guests will have a 30 minute guidance service introducing the region, and information is given about the structure of the settlements and rock tombs built by Lycia and other kingdoms and empires in the region.
After our time for painting and guiding in Kaunos is over, we pass Iztuzu beach and start our journey over the Aegean Sea in the direction of Ekincik Blue Cave.
The journey can take an estimated 30 minutes, during this time, we offer tea, coffee or other drinks while travelling in the clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea on your right side with the unique Dalyan and Ekincik nature view on your left side.
After reaching Ekincik blue cave, we approach a suitable area and give our guests 30 minutes to swim and explore this natural wonder.

There is no settlement here, it is a perfect area for a lunch break with its hills completely covered with pine or oak trees.
Fish (sea bream or sea bass) or beef meatballs, chicken can be served as a menu and there are 6-8 seasonal snacks.
After the eating and drinking time of our guests, we take a break for swimming and resting in a quieter bay located in the lower part of Semizce Bay.
This area is relatively quieter and gets less sun around 2-3 in the afternoon and provides a cool asmotphere.
We set off towards an area known as the sail rock on the Aegean side of the bay.
The sail rock is named after 2 rocks 50 metres inland from the sea, which are shaped by tectonic movement and resemble a sailboat when viewed.
The water of the region is extremely suitable for calm swimming. Our guests who want to swim will have a rest break where they will leave all their tiredness behind with the sounds of cicadas in the pine forests.

On this journey, Iztuzu is on our left side and our guests can easily photograph the coast.
This lake has a very special structure. It is a lake where both sea water and its own clean water and hot spring water from the lake floor are combined.
The water of the lake has a structure that gives the feeling of using cream at medium temperature, so that the tiredness of the day is completely forgotten.
It is known to be especially good for skin and joint diseases and offers a bath comfort that guests will not want to leave.
