Using a walkway we explore the mouth of the canyon (see extra expenses) and can progress further in by getting our feet wet! Waterproof sandals may come in handy here. After the canyon walk you may have the options to try tubing; a fun activity in which you sit in circular rubber tube with a paddle and head off down river. En route there is the chance to stop and enjoy a mud bath. After a relaxing lunchnear the mouth of the canyon, we return back to Oludeniz and enyot the best beach of Lycia.

Day 3
Scuba diving day; beginners get a ‘Try Dive’ whilst certified divers have 2 guided dives
Today is your chance to try diving at a local dive school. The PADI registered school uses top-quality European equipment and has a purpose-built dive boat. For beginners we offer a ‘Try Dive’ course, which includes a one-on-one dive with an instructor. Qualified divers can take a couple of boat dives. Fethiye boasts some of the best diving sites in the area and it is possible to see turtles and trigger fish if you’re lucky! Those who do not wish to scuba dive can accompany the excursion and snorkel instead. For the more adventurous and adrenaline-seeking there is the opportunity to take a paragliding flight. The start point is 1700 metres above sea level and the flight takes us out over Oludeniz and the surrounding islands.

As with all our multi-activity trips, no experience of the activities is required for this holiday and those that have experience will not be bored, as there are a wide range of levels and grades to suit all. However, to enjoy this trip to the full, a fair level of fitness, skills and physique are required.
The itinerary is very active and long periods of time are spent outdoors or in water. As so many of the activities are water-based, we do not recommend that non-swimmers book this trip. There is a certain amount of rough and tumble and a few minor cuts and bruises cannot be ruled out.
