Amazing day with Manolis and Antonis Kayaking with my family - It was an amazing day to a beautiful part of Naxos. Manolis & Antonis are amazing guides, great fun & keep you very well fed and watered - the lunch spread on the beach was epic. The whole family really enjoyed it and we found great spots for cliff jumping/diving at the two spots.

Excellent experience in all respects!! - The experience overall was wonderful! If you visit the island of Naxos is an experience you must definitely try! (It doesn't matter if you know, and we were completely beginners) The kids who did our tour great!! They took us from the beginning, we did learning on the land, they took care of us all the time, they took us on the kayaks we did rock dives (always safely), we had extra time for snorkeling and they fed us many!! It was not only the experience but also the people that made the difference, really good!

Wow! What an amazing day! Stunning, stunning, stunning…. Guides, scenery, food - all exceeding expectations. - What an incredible day. From start to finish, Manolis and his team were on hand to ensure every detail was taken care of. Safety was a priority, and we were all kitted out in appropriate gear to ensure everyone was both safe in the sun and on the water. The kayaking was amazing, but the small secluded beaches we stopped at were simply breathtaking. A huge array of fresh fruit was presented at the first stop, accompanied by snorkelling and cliff jumping. A short kayak further down the coast presented us with yet another beautiful beach where Manolis, Antonis and Padre made the most incredible lunch. More snorkelling and exploring were also available with an amazing ‘hot stone massage’…. An amazing experience and one we will carry with us for a long time. Thank you to everyone who made the day so special.

Highly recommend! - We had a fantastic trip with Sea Kayak! Both guides were knowledgeable, patient, engaging and wonderful hosts. It was a beautiful day both on the water and in the water. Kids got to go cliff jumping and snorkeling at Raina cave and loved it! They prepared fruit and lunch at our stops - and even had hot coffee. Additionally, they took tons of wonderful action photos which help preserve the experience. Overall, a wonderful experience for everyone. Highly recommend!

All the 5 start reviews = accurate! - It's difficult to add anything more to what has already been published about this tour company, other than to say that it's all accurate. This was a highlight of Naxos and should not be missed for those who love the water and have a sense of adventure!

Highlight from Naxos! - This was one of our favourite experiences from our holiday in Greece. From Christina’s helpful, friendly and efficient organisation of the day for our large group of 15, including return transfers, to the safe, enthusiastic and encouraging facilitation of the kayaking from Manolis, Antony and Padi, the entire day ran smoothly and a lot of fun was had. One of our party became unwell during the day (migraine from heat) and this was managed with care and sensitivity. We were taken to gorgeous spots for swimming (including in a cave) and cliff jumping which would have otherwise been inaccessible. A delicious, filling beach picnic was provided which included many local specialties (Greek salad freshly made on the beach, fresh bread, cheese, cold meat, eggs, olives etc – even freshly-made coffee!) as well as ample water and snacks such as fresh fruit and energy bars over the day. Manolis took many photographs and a link was subsequently provided for us to access – it was great to be able to look back over the entire day! If you possess a reasonable degree of fitness and good health, I would definitely recommend this activity. All the equipment you need, including sun-protection gear, is provided.

Experience landscape from the water - The tour started with detailed instructions on how to kayak so that we could all start with a safe feeling afterwards. In addition, we were equipped with everything we did not have (hat, shoes) and what was necessary (life jacket, water, etc). The guides really thought of every little thing!! One should definitely accept the suggestions of the guides ☺️ Then we started. Care was always taken that no one was left behind. Photos were taken on particularly impressive landscapes - just great! ☀️🌊 We stopped in two places. You could get everything you wanted to snorkel, or do what you felt like. The Rhina Cave was very nice and the bay for the second stop too! Both times there was something to eat. At the second stop even a mad selection 😮 plus freshly brewed coffee, the madness! All around I can highly recommend the tour of this provider! Here, too, the kayaks did not have to be carried ashore at every stop (very pleasant!). A successful day, worth it ☺️
