Our 6-day and 7-day expeditions are for people who are looking for a truly active and adventurous holiday. As on our 3-day expeditions, this is a chance to explore some of the remoter areas of Turkey that few visitors ever see, and to experience its historical and natural heritage from a very different perspective, but a longer trip enables us to explore even remoter areas and in more detail.
These are true expeditions – we carry all our gear and food in the kayaks, and camp in a different place every night. We provide all meals, mostly cooked in camp (these are often one of the highlights of the trip.)
We start all trips with a briefing and practice session in the kayaks, to introduce you to paddling techniques and safety procedures.
We offer a variety of trips, listed below, suitable for people with limited previous paddling experience, up to experienced paddlers.
We run these trips for a minimum of 4 people, any time between April and October.

‘"This was an idyllic holiday – on the first night I lay awake watching the stars and thinking too much…by the last evening I watched the stars in meditation and felt gently aware of the whispering sea, the faint breeze…at ‘one’ with my surroundings and ready to accept the adventure was nearly over. I hope to come again on another trip and will not just recommend this holiday, but broadcast it to any passerby who will listen!" |

"World class! We had a wonderful trip. It is the perfect way to experience Turkey and all she has to offer. From the beautiful lake and sea, the ruins, experiencing the beautiful local food, you have really put together a unique tour. Good exercise, good sightseeing, good company. The boats and tents were in excellent shape and everything went as promised. As Vedat said, he considered us his guests and he treated us like very special guests. Thank you so much, we will certainly recommend you highly. " |

We had an amazing time and would like to say what a fantastic trip we all thought it was and how fantastic Vedat and Engin were, they made it a trip never to be forgotten. I have been on many holidays with guides before but they are definitely the best. We were all very sad when it came to an end.
Thank you for your fantastic communication with me which made it very easy to organise.

"I just wanted to thank Alternatif Outdoor for such a great holiday. The equipment was excellent, the route worked really well and looked well researched. The level of activity was just right: challenging, but with some relaxed afternoons on the beach. We've had a great time, I'd recommend you to anyone." |

"It is a pleasure for me to forward a troughout positive feedback to our tour performed last week. There is nearly nothing to improve. As well thanks to you for unbureaucratic and reliable administration and the really nice accomodations provided at the beginning in Koycegiz and at the end in Gocek. Both very sympatic with individual and familiar atmosphere. We will treasure this trip as unforgettable." |
