Summary:
This was an extraordinary experience. George and Panos made sure everyone was comfortable in their kayaks and explained all maneuvers we needed. The scenery was spectacular and paddling into a cave was incredible. They helped us tie up and go into a blue cave by foot and one had the option of immersing in water at the back. I am not the most agile and they were helpful and reassuring. We stopped on a beach on the return trip for a delicious picnic. One of the highlights of our 21/2 week Greek trip.

Awesome experience! Awesome, personable, and knowledgeable guides who explained not only the proper techniques of kayaking, but the history and fun Greek mythology along our route as well! The 2 cave experiences (especially the “Blue Cave”) were a unique and beautiful experience. Beautiful scenery. Highly recommend this excursion with this company!
