“Great way to see the sea side of Santorini that you can only see this way (or by small boat). Friendly tour guides and a a great little workout too. The paddling wasn’t difficult and we had ages 15-50 participating. The guides made sure we got to see some unique things such as going into one of the sea caves. The picnic was good—simple sandwiches and fruit. We really enjoyed this tour! Definitely recommend wearing shoes as the beach is rocky and HOT!”

“We loved our kayaking tour! Panos was an amazing guide. He made everyone in the group feel comfortable and safe. He gave clear directions and helped people figure out how to best use the kayak. This would be a good first or 10th kayaking experience! Just when you were getting tired, there was a break from paddling to learn. Panos has such a love for the island and helped us understand the terrain, the island history, the current state, and just appreciate the views more. We had 1 - 40 minute break at a beach to sunbathe, snorkel, and have refreshing fruit before the final leg. The whole time paddling…”

“This tour was awesome!! Totally beautiful and great exercise. Panayiotis (aka Panos) was our excellent guide. He took us to a number of beaches and viewpoints only accessible from the water. It was a cool, cloudy day, but that honestly made for even more dramatic colors and great pictures. We stopped at a small family-owned cafe also reachable only by boat. After we were done on the water, he took us to a wonderful restaurant where they prepared a delicious meze platter for us. Highly recommend this excursion. Also, we booked this in early April and found this to be the perfect timing if you want to avoid the high…”

Paddle Santorini’s cliffs, snorkel in clear water, and enjoy breakfast, GoPro footage, and expert guidance in a private morning adventure.

“This review is only for people coming in on a cruise ship, which is what we did. I wouldn’t do again without a better plan for getting to and from the snorkeling location. It was, logistically speaking, a challenge. About the adventure: Nik and Marcos were great tour guides. The way it works is that you paddle out (with the wind) from a beachfront location to a cove where you snorkel (sorry, the fish are mostly gone but the water is beautiful and crystal clear). Then you get towed back to the beach so you don’t paddle into the wind. My complaint: the booking and the transfer were a hurdle.…”
