A wonderful day on the Aegean sea with very friendly and professional guides. Great fun--HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - THIS IS GOING TO BE A RAVE REVIEW! :)
We joined Manelis, Christina and Noah on an amazing kayak trip earlier this month, and enjoyed every minute of it. The lovely guides gave us very good instructions on operating the kayaks in the most beneficial and safe way, and off we were in the bluest sea. The first stop on a small beach by Rina Cave offered us a swim to, by and into the cave, and for the braver in the bunch, a jump into the water from a rock above. A selection of fruit was served as refreshment. We then rowed on to a gorgeous hidden bay where we enjoyed a lovely Greek lunch with a freshly made Greek salad, great bread, cheese and salami, and coffee and sweets. We had time to tour the area and soak in the lovely turquoise water. Then we started the journey back, and made it a bit exhausted but high on adrenaline back to the original beach. Our guides could not have been more nice, hospitable and professional, creating a very social and friendly atmosphere for the group participants--lots of chats and laughs. We were also impressed with how well it was organized and how they managed to bring along all the equipment and food supplies within our very own kayaks. I really could not have wanted anything more from this wonderful day on the sea!

Amazing Sea Kayaking experience 10/10 recommend - My family and I had the most amazing Sea Kayaking experience with Christina and Manoulis! From the pick-up to the safety and instructions to the overall amazing experience, this is one adventure I would very highly recommend!
Manoulis and his team Cristina and Noah were amazing guides. We have kayaked before, but never in the sea, so this was a new experience for us. The cliff jumping was also an incredible experience.
I was the most nervous and Noah talked me through it and it was an experience I won't ever forget.
They offer a picnic which they say is "snacks",but is actually like a 4 course meal! There was fresh fruit, cheeses, meats, salad, bread, even coffee and dessert! I have a gluten dietary restriction, and Christina went out of her way to personally buy me gluten free bread, crackers and cookies, which was so incredibly thoughtful!
Overall I very highly recommend this family operated kayaking tour, and would go again in a heartbeat!!

An amazing kayak experience we will never forget - This tour was the highlight of our time in Naxos. Everything about this company is top notch. They are beyond personable, kind, and thoughtful in everything they do. They don’t advertise taking pictures while on tour but they do it anyways so you can focus on the tour and not in pictures. The food was amazing. Having coffee on a hidden beach was an experience my wife and I will be telling for years to come. We already hope to come back in the future to share with our family as this trip was just us this time.
I cannot recommend this tour enough. This team is the best.

Don’t miss this one! - This was, hands-down, the best excursion I was on during my five-day stay in Naxos (including the hiking and catamaran excursion). It is doable even for a grandma, like me! Manolis was very knowledgeable, friendly, did a great job of showing us around, along with his two guides, Christina and Noah, took some amazing photos of all of us during the excursion so we could focus on the experience, and fed us well (their Naxion salad was as better than any I had in town!). His wife, Christina (not the tour guide Christina - another Christina) picked me up and returned me to my hotel for far less than any other price I was given. When I come back, I will do this again!

Sea cave kayaking in the Greek Cycladic Island of Noxos ! - Our Rina Cave Kayak Tour in mid June 2025 was fabulous ! We were about 10 kayakers plus the two excellent guides. This trip allowed us to start on a beach away from the main town of Ag Anna. So from the beginning it felt like an exploration type paddle. We toured along a gorgeous coastline and reached the remote Rina Cave. At that point we could jump off the cave;s cliff and freely swim with the cave itself. The classic blue Mediterranean Sea made it all the more special. The two guides were excellent and highly experienced. The equipment was excellent and with our kayaking experience we were able to get two singles and even Greenland Paddles. Most folks would rather be in their nice,y equipped doubles with Euro Paddles. The provided picnic style lunch on the beach was very tasty, healthy and plentiful. They quickly set up a shade tarp which really made our rest break all the better ! We plan to be back. Thank you Sea Kayak Noxos. charlie & Maria

Don’t skip this! - Absolutely a highlight of our trip! I went with my teenagers and we all had a blast. So beautiful, we were amazed by the scenery and clear water. Lots of time for swimming in the ocean and cave at both stops. The guides were fun, interesting, and we’re careful to know everyone’s names and make sure all were safe.

Great day out - Great day out! Well organised with friendly and enthusiastic guides. All equipment and additional items you'd be unlikely to bring yourself (water shoes, long sleeve tops, big hats) were provided which made the day easier. Lunch was super tasty too! The kayaking and spots for stops were amazing.

This crew is the real deal! - I guide kayaking trips just like this back in the US and I can confirm Sea Kayak Naxos does a phenomenal job!
My wife and I had a fantastic day and got exactly what we were looking for—a proper full day adventure.
Manolis, Christina, and Noah have this down to a science. From the beginning, they had my total confidence as they displayed top notch instruction, safety protocols, and high quality gear. They covered everything I wanted to hear— as a fellow guide they proved to me we were in good hands.
Their pacing was great—perfectly balanced time on the water with breaks on land to eat, swim, and explore.
And the level of preparation! Providing snorkels and diving masks and sharing a beautiful Greek meal really surprised us. So nice to see how thoughtfully the team crafted this experience.
We were also touched to hear about the guides’ passion for local history and their commitment to keeping the Cyclades clean and healthy.
Can’t wait to book with them again the next time I’m in Greece.
