Worth It! - One of our best experiences in Naxos! This tour was amazing. The team was phenomenal and made sure everyone was taken care of at all times! The lunch was so simple and filling that I am still thinking about it. It was a great time. Highly recommend!

A must do - What a thrilling experience; kayaking the sea!
Our guides were licensed, experienced, and FUN, besides being natives. I felt safe and thrilled the entire time we were together. Just imagined though , the sea and caves were topped off by the impressive lunch made from scratch, our guides put together before our eyes - Who does that ? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️from me…… and then made hot coffee? Nothing but the best
Thanks Manolis and George - memorable

Highly recommend!! - I can't say enough about this company and this experience. The winds were intense so we had the option to do a different route which we all opted to do. We paddled a bit, stopped to swim and have snacks, paddled some more, got to swim in a tunnel, paddled more and got to paddle into caves and the had leisurely lunch and nice conversation before heading back. All told we were out for 7 hours. The guides were lovely and knowledgeable and took safety seriously. It was a bargain for the price too! Highly recommend!

EXCELLENT, must do trip! Great guides, scenery, adventure, top notch company - We were booked for the Rina cave tour with Sea Kayak Naxos. They notified us that the weather (wind) wasn’t ideal for that itinerary. We decided to do the trip anyway and do the Moutsouna route. No regrets! We were in Greece for 11 days and visited 4 places and we both said this was the best excursion we did the entire 11 days. Christina was amazing and communicated well with us. Our guides, Manolis and Antonis, were the BEST! They took us so many beautiful places. They explained what we were seeing. We visited multiple caves. They made sure everyone was safe. We had swimming and snorkeling breaks. Our meal was fresh, authentic, and tasted amazing. They took tons of professional looking photos of each person and the scenery throughout the trip then send a link to download them for free after the trip. The gear for this trip was well cared for and quality equipment. I cannot say enough good things about this trip.
I HIGHLY recommend this trip and going with this company. I do a lot of traveling and this was top notch. Even if your itinerary will be different, go anyway! I can’t wait to come back and go with them again!

Best Day Ever!! - Trust your tour guide and you will have an incredible experience!! They know the land the best, so if your route changes because of unpredictable winds it’ll be more than ok because the beauty of Naxos and the Aegean Sea will be breathtaking.
Our tour guide, Manolis, was the absolute best. From a smooth pickup with Christina, who by the way was so kind to stop briefly to let our group grab coffee before our journey began, to riding with Manolis through the villages, we immediately started learning about the history of the people and the land. We were well educated on kayaking techniques to make us feel safe before starting and provided with needed sun protection shirts and hats. All of the guides were very knowledgeable and fun to be with throughout the entire route.
It is well worth the money to get a real taste of what Naxos is all about!! The route and experience is very enjoyable for beginners like me and you will not believe how clear and beautiful the water, caves, and sea life will be.
Don’t hesitate for a second on this excursion!! If you’re looking to disconnect from a busy life and enjoy face to face connections and nature, this is for you. Sign up and you won’t regret it. This is an adventure our group will never forget!

Moutsouna Cave Tour - Unfortunately there was too much wind for the Rina Cave Tour, but for that we went to Moutsouna.
The group was pleasantly large.
We were on our way to some caves and tunnels for a few hours. On 2 beaches we stopped for snacks (among others lots of fresh fruit) and lunch (among others Greek salad) and especially for extensive snorkeling. It was just wonderful!

Best experience in Naxos - Unforgettable experience with Sea Kayak Naxos! We spend a whole day swimming, paddling, and enjoying the views of wild nature and beaches not accessible from the coast. Our tour guides were amazing people ensuring that everyone feels comfortable, making us a delicious lunch from local food, and always staying positive and energetic. The tour is also suitable for the beginners since we had a detailed brief how to paddle in the beginning. Would definitely do the tour once again, totally worth it! Recommend!!!

Paddling / Snorkelling Naxos - What an amazing day.
A fantastic team of guides led us on an amazing day of sea kayaking along the coast of Naxos.
A wonderful mix of kayaking, snorkelling, swimming and relaxing on the marble
An amazing lunch of freshly made Greek salad, having snacked on fruit and sesame bars earlier in the trip.
The drive to the start point was a little hairy - I would suggest getting the bus
