On yacht tours, domestic and foreign tourists who come to Kekova, the paradise on earth in the Demre district, have fun with the Ringo tour.
Gökkaya Bay is a natural harbor of the Kekova Region. It's a stopping place for boats going on daily tours and blue cruises. It is a magnificent bay with its sea and nature, where the blue cruise boats stop for a few nights. Hundreds of yachts come to Gökkaya Bay every day, especially during the high tourist season. A company offers tourists who come to the bay on yacht water sports. One of these sports is Ringo. Tourists have put on an inflatable boat called a 'Ringo' pulled by a speedboat. A maximum of 4 people can be taken to the Ringos. Ringos reach speeds of 25-30 mph by speedboats. This journey takes about 15 minutes on the open sea. For this tour, 150 lira per passenger is charged. Ringo tour is only done on the track where permission is taken, and it is impossible to go out of the way.
Before the trip, tourists are told the rules and security measures are taken. Those participating in the Ringo tour must wear life vests and fasten their seat belts. Then the journey is made between screams and shouts. During the trip, two professional swimmers accompany the tour on the bike. The Ringo, pulled by the motor, moves forward by making wobbles. Domestic and foreign tourists on the yachts who come to Kekova for the Ringo tour and take a break show great interest. Especially for the passengers of yachts who go on a blue cruise and spend a night or two in Gökkaya Bay, there is a different holiday option. There is a high level of excitement, especially for young people. (Ahmet Acar- DHA)
