Fantastic views, entertaining guide and challenging tour - The tour was an unforgettable experience. The guide had the perfect mix of humorous and informative. The pace was completely ok despite the large group, the route unexpectedly daring but manageable for all. No one wished for the many mosquitoes. On the beach, anti-mosquito spray was even handed out. I can recommend the tour provider without any reservations.

A perfect hike for a beautiful spot! - On a trip around the Peloponnese, we had the chance to pass through Navarino Bay. In order to learn more about the history of the bay and not to miss the little surprises of the place, we have chosen Explore Messinia Team. Our guide, Georges, was perfect, telling us passionately the history of this beautiful place, offering us a nice picnic on the sublime beach of Voidokilia (deserted when we came in early April, perfect) and taking great interest in our own travel experiences, which was very appreciative. He did not hesitate to give us other good deals for the rest of our trip. In short, a very very good experience that I highly recommend;)

Great kayak tour - Chose to tour Navarina Bay. No regrets. A very picturesque place. First you sail along the port and city to the island with a natural "portal-arch". A very beautiful rock! Next, you will swim into a cave, the entrance to which is from the sea, and from the shore you cannot see it. Next, swim to a narrow bay with pure water where you can snorkel. There's little life, but there's enough. After a tasty little picnic, swim to the monument and then back to port. It takes about four hours. The event is very interesting - the instructor in English tells historical facts. I advise you to wear something with a long sleeve, and something on your head, as burn instantly at lunchtime on the water. Or a moisture-resistant sunscreen (40-50 HC). No special physical training is required - the kayak is controlled by pedals and paddles. I suggest a very interesting tour!
