Canyoning in Neda for Beginners - Book Your Karpenisi, Central Greece Adventure

Summary: Wow! What a great experience! My kids keep talking about it since. First, the hike itself took place in a beautiful river. Untouched nature with clean waterfalls and turquoise pools. The guides, Fortis and Aphrodite were amazingly nice, professional, and funny. I would highly recommend this experience to any family / group / couples that want to do something different and get a short break from the warm weather. Another bonus is some profile pictures that are taken during the trip :)

Summary: We had an absolutely amazing canyoning experience with Explore Messinia! The tour was not only incredibly beautiful, but also full of fun and adventure for both us and the kids. Fotis and his colleagues were fantastic guides, professional, kind, and full of energy. They made sure everyone felt safe and had a great time throughout the journey. We were blown away by the stunning nature, the refreshing water, and the overall sense of adventure. To top it all off, we ended the day with a delicious lunch together, which was the perfect way to relax and share the excitement of the day. Highly, highly recommended for families and anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of Messinia in a truly unique and fun way. We’ll never forget it!

Summary: The company is excellent, they respond efficiently through the website and are very nice. The trip itself, guided by Potis, is an excellent experience. Potis is nice and interesting and makes sure that even those who are really out of shape can easily overcome the challenges that require effort.

Summary: The entire experience was incredibly rewarding and had an adventurous but safe and experienced vibe. From the beginning, we had to provisionally book the trip because there were not yet enough people signed up to meet the minimum number of participants. Within an hour of contacting Trifonas on trip advisor and Gmail, he had responded saying he would provisionally hold a spot for us on our trip date, meaning it would have just been cancelled had more people never signed up. When a larger group had signed up, he immediately reached out to us to let us know we were confirmed. The day before the trip, he sent us exact directions on where we would meet.(YOU MUST USE GOOGLE MAPS, other map services will direct you incorrectly) Before you get to the meeting point, make sure you have used the restroom in the last town about 20 minutes out as you will not have a great opportunity to go again once you are at the meeting point. We got to the meeting point (which was up a steep and windy mountain path and was really just a small gravel extension off the road into a trail) and they (Fortis and Panagiotis) were already there in his van. We sized up our climbing gear, then took the cars down to the end of the trail. There is a portion you'll have to back your car down to a spot. It may seem sketchy for drivers used to wide open American roads, but we handled this trail with ease in a very small Toyota Aygo placed into first gear. Getting back up the mountain was actually my only concern with the entire trip, but I felt like a fool when the Aygo climbed the mountain with zero issues. Still, I recommend a more rugged vehicle in case road conditions may worsen after a storm or just for ease of mind. You will leave your personal belongings (except a water bottle) in either your car or his van. The actual excursion itself is unimaginable. My best advice is to wear comfortable shoes which will be drenched, bring a water (the men will be carrying waterproof backpacks that you can place your water in once you enter the river) and listen closely to what they say, but do not worry. The reward of the trip is how involved the swimming and repelling is, you will not find a more complete adventure anywhere else for a person with zero repelling experience. Finally, be prepared for a brisk and mildly difficult 15 minute hike out of the waterfall basin back to your cars where you will be able to change clothes (in your cars, no convenient public utilities) and head on up the mountain out of neda. My wife is a meticulous planner and in all honesty a big chicken, but even she was finding it hard not to admit how much fun she was having doing things she never thought she could. Great team of guys, we'd go back in a heartbeat.

Summary: We had a really nice canyoning activity! We did it with our 2 kids (8 & 11). The guides worked really professional and also brought good atmosphere and made everybody feeling comfortable during the descent between rocks and waterfalls. The environment is amazing. Take into consideration that the trip to reach the destination (Neda waterfalls) is a bit challenging here and there.
