5.00You will get in the water but there are lots of little “stops” along the way. Guide was fun, helpful and knowledgeable.
Book the excursion!

5.00I’m 63 and had an amazing time! Never paddle boarded nor did cliff jumping. Learning was easy and my instructor was so sweet and encouraging! I would do this every week if I could!
Fun outing when in Crete!

5.00This was a top experience of all time for us. Stelios made it great - showed us how to paddle (our first time), took great care and concern for our safety and took pictures of everything. It was a gorgeous day and the water was perfect. It was a nice mix of activities - seeing the cave, doing the mud and cliff jumping (I bravely did!). We hope to bring our kids back to this beautiful island, its people and even do this experience. So worth it!
Excellent experience, suitable for all.

5.00My partner & I were picked up from our hotel & driven to the location. After meeting the instructor we were shown where to leave our belongings & then given our buoyancy aids & paddles. After a brief explanation/ demonstration for anyone not experienced in paddle boarding, we set out across the bay stopping at various places for resting/ swimming/ jumping off the rocks etc. This was a really fun experience, suitable for complete beginners. It’s not too far to paddle and being in a large bay, the water is pretty calm. Would recommend for all levels of ability.
GREAT Excursion!!

5.00This was AMAZING! Nick was incredibly patient and very informative! The entire Excursion from beginning to the end was just so wonderful! The water and scenery is other worldly! Crazy beautiful! Erika, our driver picked us up right at the Port, had a sign waiting and then she took us into town instead of returning us to the boat which was great because that old town is not to be missed! Especially the point at the end which is called Venetian Point I believe and it looks like a little town in Italy it is just sunny so definitely go into the town don't skip that!
Fab experience!

Nice Slow SUP along the coast

4.00This was a really nice slow SUP around a bay of about 2km in total. We stopped a few times and went very slowly. We probably could have done a bit more paddling, but it was still nice. We didn't get to swim in the Turtle Hole Cave as the tide was too high, but best to be safe than sorry.
Guide was great and very...
