About Us

We began our journey in 1994 and became one of Turkey’s leading specialists in adventure activities. We saw that the Lycian Region offered far more than just hiking trails, with rich potential for many different adventure activities. With this vision, we first introduced sea kayaking and canyoning activities to the region, while also establishing one of the area’s first diving schools.

Today, we organise scuba diving, sea kayaking, jeep safari, transfer services, tailor-made tour programmes and team-building activities for companies. In addition, we welcome our divers on international diving tours in different parts of the world. Every year, we organise 2–3 diving trips to Egypt, giving our guests the opportunity to experience the unique underwater world of the Red Sea.

Through the Likya Lifeguard Training Centre, which operates under Bougainville, we also provide lifeguard training. Our centre is authorised by TSSF and ILS to deliver lifeguard training under registration number 098. Bronze, Silver and Gold Lifeguard Training courses, as well as visa renewal adaptation courses for expired certificates, are delivered by Silver Lifeguard Instructor Çağatay Arıcan at Bougainville in Kaş, Antalya, and in other regions throughout the year.

We have long been committed to practising sustainable tourism. As most of our activities are based on outdoor sports, we make every effort to offer low-impact experiences in nature. By encouraging visitors to take part in these kinds of nature-based activities, we aim to reduce the environmental impact of traditional tourism. We also place great importance on choosing local products and working with local people. We continue to use communication channels effectively to bring our specialist activities to a wider audience.

When you come to Kaş, or while planning your trip, you can always contact us for local information, recommendations and insider tips about the region. We have been here for many years and have a wealth of experience, knowledge and suggestions to share with you. We look forward to welcoming you…
