Anniversary trip, September 2024 - The waterfalls and the cavern were beautiful, the water was extremely cold, but you get used to it. Our guides were exceptional! Thanks to all of them!

Unforgettable - The booked excursion was an unforgettable experience. Beautiful unique nature, the gorge is spectacular, the crystal clear water and the encounter with the eels. Joost is a very personable and great guide. In addition, the contact at the diving school was very cordial. Would want to book something again at any time. Many thanks to all involved.
Greetings

Snorkel trip - As a tour guide I came into contact with Dive2gether to brave the extremely cold river in a fun and responsible way, first walking down the river wearing your niropeen suit and with our snorkel like crocodiles through the river towards... the waterfall to discover through the suit you are not cold! It was well supervised by 2 enthusiastic Dutch
Which is nice as a family outing or like me with a group of 10 singles
Very nice trip and afterwards enjoy Plakias for nice lunch or swimming

Wonderful tour to Kourtaliotiko Gorge - Really great half-day tour to Kourtaliotiko Gorge. They started the tour off with an informative slideshow so we knew exactly what to expect. Our group had 2 guides who led us back to the falls. There's time to dry off and warm off afterwards, but know the climb up the stairs with the heavy wetsuits is a bit grueling. I could wish the wait for the vans at the trail start was a bit shorter, but it was an excellent, enjoyable day.

Swim not snorkled - I have been here before and the place has become much more popular with the years. Now there was stinn bracket, new way down and more parking spaces.
After swimming into the waterfall we walked down the river to the dam where we walked the work road to the main road where we had parked. Remember shoes

Beautiful freshwater snorkeling experience - We had a great time, impressive stunt, Kristen and Erik who were our guides are really friendly and attentive. We were equipped with wetsuits because the water was at 15°C. Very good agreement with the other people in our group. Too bad the site is crowded, I think it should limit access before it's too late for nature preservation.

Swimming under the waterfall in a cavernous gorge! - Although there are other tourists also in the gorge and swimming , doing the same thing, having a wetsuit and mask/snorkel that were fitted to my size and my eye sight prescription mask made the tour so much more, as I could see better and all the photos were taken by our guide with a underwater camera. They included transport and explained about the history of the area. Made the adventure easy and fun.
