5.00Highlight of our stay in Santorini so far! The kayaking, swimming, and picnic were was all perfect! It was great to have Nolan as our guide who made even our inexperienced kayaker feel comfortable out on the water.
Kayaking was wonderful!

5.00We had such an amazing time kayaking the coast of Santorini. The views were awesome, beaches immaculate, and the caves were incredible cool. Our guide, Nolan, was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and made the experience one to remember. I could not highly recommend this enough!
Request Nolan if possible. But amazing company and outfitter to book a kayak trip thru. Top tier all the way around.

5.00This was such an amazing trip. Almost exclusively due to our guide Nolan. The trip itself was one of the most beautiful views you can imagine. My girlfriend was very anxious through because she has an innate fear of water. However, she stood her ground, faced her fears and ended up having an amazing time. Nolan reassured her throughout the trip and that the weather was perfect and that we were handling the trip (and kayak) like pros. He was so chill calm and collected and just genuinely an amazing person to hangout with and talk to for a few hours. He didn’t rush anything and was an amazing vibe to be around. If I came back I would request him as our guide time and time again. 10 out of 5 experience. The absolute highlight of our Santorini trip.

5.00A lovely way to spend a few hours paddling around the various different coloured beaches as well as sea caves. A chance for a swim, followed by a delicious home made picnic on the beach. Food was amazing. Guide was very helpful. Length of activity was just right.

5.00This was the best kayak excursion we have experienced. Nolan was a phenomenal guide! He was very knowledgeable and we loved his sense of humor. We had a large group and he kept us all safe while making it a lot of fun. Lia was also great! She got us all ready to go and made us an awesome lunch. Thanks for a great time! We would surely do it again.
