The final destination of our trip is the spectacular Blue Cave with a hidden entrance. However, until we reach our final destination, we will make many stops on remote beaches for swimming and snorkeling, and we will be given the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful seabed full of big red starfish.

Our guide - Yiannis - was very passionate about the tour - you could see that he enjoys it! So did we!! He shared a lot of information about the surrounding island and supported us during the tour with useful tips. As the experience level of the group members varied, he had to find a compromise, so the tour was a good experience for everyone. From my perspective he managed this difficulty very well. We stoped at a cave, where the water was extremely blue - an experience I will never forget! - even though the sea was a bit rough and it was not too easy to access the cave. We also had two stops at different beaches and were provided with lunch at the second stop.

Myself and Emma had an absolutely fantastic kayaking experience with Yiannis in Lefkada. From the moment we met him, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the island and its coastline. The tour was the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and sightseeing. Yiannis made us feel comfortable on the water, and his guidance throughout the trip was excellent. We paddled through beautiful crystal-clear waters, explored stunning hidden spots, including caves, and enjoyed breathtaking views that we would never have discovered on our own. What really made the experience special was Yiannis himself. He shared fascinating local knowledge, created a fun and welcoming atmosphere, and clearly loves what he does. His enthusiasm was infectious and added so much to the day. We stopped for lunch in a secluded bay which was delicious. This was one of the highlights of our time in Lefkada, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the island. Thank you, Yiannis, for an unforgettable experience!

We had a great trip. Yannis was a superb host and instructor. Beautiful scenery and opportunity to learn about the area. We made the slight mistake of arriving at 10am but they would prefer from 9.30am. It didn't bother Yannis in the slightest (very relaxed man) but I think it helps if you arrive a little earlier than the start time.

The nice guide Yiannis explains everything clearly and talks nicely about the area and history. We had a nice group of 7 and 2 guides. Very nice the various stops in the cave and on the small beaches with the possibility to swim. Nice snack and delicious lunch. We had a great day! Thank you!

We had an incredible kayaking tour with Yannis in Lefkada! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, fun, and beautifully scenic. Our guide, Yannis, was outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about both kayaking and the local area. He made us feel safe and comfortable on the water while sharing fascinating facts about the coastline, surrounding islands and their history. Highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Lefkada—whether you're a seasoned kayaker or a total beginner. Thank you, Yannis for an unforgettable outing!

If you’re in Lefkada and only book one experience, make it this one. What an absolutely incredible day. The scenery was straight out of a postcard – crystal-clear turquoise water, hidden beaches, stunning sea caves, and the unforgettable Blue Cave itself. But what really made this experience exceptional was our host, Yiannis. Quite simply, Yiannis is a legend. From the moment we met, his energy, humour, local knowledge and genuine passion for what he does elevated the entire trip. He struck the perfect balance between making everyone feel safe and comfortable while keeping the atmosphere fun, relaxed and full of laughs. It felt less like a guided tour and more like an adventure with an old friend. The kayaking route was spectacular, with plenty of opportunities to swim, snorkel and soak up some of the most beautiful coastline we’ve ever seen. The lunch stop was the perfect addition and gave everyone a chance to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Professional, authentic, brilliantly organised and genuinely unforgettable. Five stars doesn’t feel enough. Thank you, Yiannis, for an amazing experience and for creating memories that our family will be talking about for years. Book it. You won’t regret it.

It was a very nice trip led by Yanis. He brought atmosphere and conviviality and told fun facts about the island and the surroundings. The blue cave was super beautiful. Cool off in the clear sea at a beautiful deserted beach and look for red starfish. At the end a delicious lunch and a piece of fruit. Overall worth more than 5 stars

Fantastic day out kayaking on the beautiful still water. Yiannis our guide was friendly, professional, informative and made the overall experience fun. The spots we kayaked too were stunning and only accessible by water. The water was crystal clear and the cave was beautiful. We had a delicious home cooked pasta for lunch. We absolutely loved this experience and highly recommend if visiting Lefkada.

An unforgettable day, an essential experience to have on the island of Lefkada. A moment that mixes fun, history, physical activity, and a memorable human adventure. The two guides, Yiannis and Yiannis, are so welcoming, smiling, and passionate. They generously share their knowledge and take the time to care for all the guests of the excursion, remembering all their names. The owner Yiannis even takes the time to cook a delicious Greek pasta meal for his guests. Sea kayaking is easy and fun. This is truly a moment you do not want to miss if you are visiting the island. Thank you again to our two guides ❤

I just had a wonderful time on Friday, May 15, 2026, with this establishment. I thank Uncle Yiannis, the owner, for his hospitality, his reassurance, his calmness, and the meal he prepared for us; it was excellent! I thank Explorer Yiannis for his explanations, his songs, the atmosphere, and his professionalism throughout the experience. Thank you, I would do it again with my eyes closed! ❤️🙏🏽 Chris and Chloe
