Bring the Trash, Take the Drone Shot
The Kaş and Kekova region is a natural paradise that welcomes thousands of tourists every year. With its turquoise coves, sunken city ruins, clear sea, and rich underwater life, the region is one of Turkey's most special holiday destinations. However, all these natural beauties exist not only to be admired but also to be protected. It is at this point that our sea cleaning campaign, launched as Boat Trip Turkey, has become a special initiative that transforms and adds meaning to classic boat tours. This campaign is not just an environmental project but also an awareness movement that strengthens our bond with nature. While offering our guests an unforgettable experience, we also aim to instill a sense of responsibility towards nature.
Visitors from all over the world are captivated by the beauty of Kaş. However, in recent years, increasing plastic pollution and unconscious consumption habits have begun to threaten the fabric of this unique geography. Plastic bags floating on the sea surface, PET bottles washing ashore, and waste covering the seabed indicate not only an aesthetic problem but also an ecological disaster. For this reason, we wanted to answer the question "how can a holiday become more meaningful" with this campaign. Because protecting nature is not a small matter to be left only to volunteers; it is a shared responsibility that every individual on holiday can contribute to.
Keeping the Seas Clean is Not Just for Volunteers
On our boat tours in Kaş, every guest is no longer just a passenger but also a nature protector. Someone who collects a piece of plastic they spot in the sea during the tour actually creates a much larger impact. Our sea cleaning campaign enables our guests to make a small but effective contribution to nature. This is not just a trash collection movement; it is an expression of a conscious lifestyle that reflects environmental sensitivity.
This practice is especially meaningful for families with children. A child removing waste from the sea with their own hands is one of the most powerful environmental lessons that can be given to them. In this way, both nature benefits, and future adults grow up as environmentally respectful individuals. As our captain Ergun says, "If everyone removes a piece of trash from the sea, the world can be a completely different place." This sentence actually summarizes the spirit of our campaign. Simple but effective.
Immortalize Your Contribution with Drone Shots
Drone videos are not just rewards for this environmental movement; they are also reminders. When our guests remove trash from the sea, they are thanked by our captain and rewarded with specially prepared drone footage. These videos, shot in the enchanting coves of Kaş and Kekova as daylight dances with the sea, turn into the most meaningful moments of your holiday. Moreover, these images are not just beautiful shots; they are a testament to the positive traces you leave on nature.
This campaign attracted the attention not only of us but also of the press. The TRT News team prepared a report. The special report detailed the environmentally conscious behavior of our guests and our captain's pioneering role in this field. Thanks to this TRT news, our campaign reached wider audiences. You can watch this news in the video below:
One of our foreign guests, Julia Graner, shared her experience after joining our boat tour on her own YouTube channel. Julia explained that collecting trash from the sea is not just a symbolic act but an approach that transforms the entire holiday concept. Thanks to her video, we can proudly say that this campaign serves as an example internationally. Here is a day in Kaş and environmental awareness through Julia's eyes:
Leaving Kaş and Kekova Clean for the Future is Possible
Kaş boat tours offer a great opportunity not only for holidays but also for increasing environmental awareness. Everyone who knows and loves this unique region should contribute to its protection. Exploring among the sunken city ruins of Kekova, swimming in crystal clear waters, and moving towards the heart of nature is a legacy we will leave not only to ourselves but also to the future. That is why, on every tour we conduct, we want our guests to see not only the scenery but also responsibility.
Since the campaign began, a noticeable change has occurred. Plastic residues previously found in some coves are now much less. Thanks to our guests' interest and sincere support for the campaign, it is a great pleasure to see our seas a little cleaner at the end of each season. This practice has a positive impact not only on the environment but also on human relations. The solidarity that forms among guests around a common goal also turns into friendships during the tour.
Join Us: Collect Memories and Contribute to Nature
A holiday is not just about resting. Sometimes a holiday changes a life philosophy. As the Boat Trip Turkey family, we want each of our guests to leave their holiday not only with beautiful memories but also with the peace of having contributed to nature.

If you are one of those who "can't sit still on holiday," this campaign is for you. Every piece of trash collected makes a difference. Every video shot is concrete evidence of this difference. If you want to make your holiday meaningful and thank nature by joining the Kaş sea cleaning campaign, we await you on our boat.
