Enjoyed The Full Naxian Kayaking Experience - My friends and I had a such a wonderful time with our guides, Manolis and Christina. I’ve never kayaked before but Manolis took the time to make sure we learned the basics and we were able to kayak without too much effort. Manolis was very kind and had fun stories to share. The picnic on the shores was one of the best parts as we got to know our other tour members and enjoyed a nice meal. We would highly recommend!

Excellent excursion! - The trip far outdid my expectations! Manolis was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I had had hip surgery recently but he made it so easy for me to get in and out of the kayak and was always there to give me a hand.The scenery was beautiful and we had ample time to rest between paddling with stops for a snack, snorkeling and a fabulous lunch which Manolo prepared on the spot. I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing! - This was the highlight of our 3 weeks in Greece! Our guide Manolis was amazing. He and his co-guide were very well organized and made us feel comfortable right from the beginning. We were provided sun shirts and hats which I didn't think were necessary at first but was SO happy to have them as we got going on the water. They also provided 1.5L of water for each person, and water shoes. Before we got on the water we were giving great instructions on how to properly row, ensuring we didn't wear ourselves out unneccessarily. Due to the weather (westerly winds) we had to take a route that is not typically taken, but Manolis was still extremely knowledgeable about the area and provided great context to the land and history of the area. We took breaks out on the water which was nice to recover for a bit and then were provided a great little lunch mid-trip. They prepared a fresh greek salad, had fresh bread, salami, olives, and cheese. It was all super delicious. Then finished it off with traditional greek coffee. Then a quick paddle back to our starting point to finish out the day. Manolis also took tons of pictures throughout the day and we were provided a download link a few days later. I can't recommend this excursion enough! Do it.

A must- do activity! - I would hugly recommend this experience with Christina, Manolis and Padolis. They are very helpful and insightful, friendly and good fun.
The trip captures amazing views and scenery. The guides provide everything you need for the paddle tour itself, but also a delicious fresh picnic. Paddling, snorkeling and swimming these beautiful clear turquoise waters is a must on your trip to Naxos !

Unforgettable Kayaking Experience - Sea Kayak Naxos takes pride in everything they do, and they have a lot to be proud of! All the good reviews don't lie- this tour was the highlight of a wonderful trip. Kayaking on the Aegean in a small group, venturing through sea caves and snorkeling in crystal blue waters, then finishing with a delicious picnic on the beach was like something out of movie. Our guides Manolis and Padelis, as well as Christina who picked us up, thought of every detail to make our trip enjoyable, providing dry bags, hats etc., and even making sure we got breakfast since it was a holiday and many businesses were closed. I also credit their deep knowledge of this coastline with how special the tour was. Everything we learned about the history, geography, and biodiversity of this beautiful place only enhanced our enjoyment. Our route also had to be changed due to weather, and I can assure you that if that happens, you can trust them to deliver an unforgettable experience.

Worth the drive to get to a serene and beautiful place. - Great experience. A trip highlight. Manolis and Christina are fantastic. Worth the drive to the east side of Naxos to experience the beauty and peacefulness of the area.

Efcharisto, Manoli! - Another great tour with Manolis and nice fellow paddlers. Not too difficult, and only a slight headwind on the way there.
The picnic lunch was perfect, with the best tomatoes ever.
Efcharisto, Manoli!

Great way to see the island - Manolis and his family provided a safe and exciting experience exploring several caves and beaches. Lunch was provided with fresh food from the island. One of the highlights of our honeymoon.

My first kayaking experience! - Excellent experience, very attentive and responsible guides gave us all the explanations, provided us the equipment to perform the activity safely.
Surprising places visited, caves and dream beaches.
Activity requires some physical exertion, attention and concentration.
I highly recommend performing it
