5.00The best way to see the coast of Santorini with tour made personal by fantastic guide Kalliopi along with the best of equipment and knowledge as well as experience. The picnic was gorgeous too and as a family ranging from 15 to 69, the best day of our holiday so far. Collection from hotel was also hugely helpful.
Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a personal coastal experience with the best guide in Santorini

5.00The best way to see and enjoy the coast of Santorini. Kalliopi was the best guide we have had in all our years of travelling. Her attention to detail along with excellent equipment and experience made the day perfect. Also we ranged from 15 to 69 years of age and all loved it. Also the picnic was fresh, tasty and plentiful which was a bonus
Best activity we did in Santorini!

5.00We had an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience with Kallopi and Serenity Kayak Santorini! From paddling along the stunning coastline and exploring sea caves to snorkeling in crystal-clear water and even cliff jumping, every moment was unforgettable. One of the highlights was being lucky enough to encounter a small wild octopus while swimming—such a special and memorable experience that made the day even more magical. Kallopi was wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable throughout the adventure. The homemade picnic was absolutely delicious and a perfect addition to an already amazing day. If you're visiting Santorini and looking for a unique way to experience the island's natural beauty, I highly recommend Serenity Kayak Santorini. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip!
100% Recommend/ WORTH IT

5.00We had an incredible time on this kayak tour! We could not have asked for a better experience. Kalliopi provides first class service. She provided clear communication about the pickup time/location, created friendly conversation amongst everyone in the group on the drive, provided everything we needed for the trip, and cooked a delicious lunch. It was top notch and so much fun. We saw the same sites as all the boats, but when it was crowded Kalliopi knew where to go and how to provide a more private experience. We had an excellent time on the water, but felt like a part of a small family as a result of Kalliopi's incredible care, hospitality, and warm personality. We would 100% recommend and would even consider doing it again if we came back it was so good.
