5.0014/10, the whole experience was wonderful, we highly recommend! The tour was shortened due to the high waves during our stay, but the instructors tried their best and found an area for us to kayak safely; while making sure our experience was enjoyable. David and Hector shared a variety of history behind local landmarks and myths surrounding them. And we got to enjoy our time at the beach as well, alongside local snacks! Highly recommend booking with them. The driver was also extremely knowgeable and helpful with answering our many questions!! 😊💯
Once in a lifetime!

5.00Fantastic! The guides were all so helpful, kind, upbeat and knowledgeable. They made us feel so comfortable and gave clear instructions. It was a beautiful day of kayaking plus being driven across the island to get there & back, with some history and info on the way. We learned a lot and enjoyed kayaking, swimming and exploring the cave
If in Naxos, then you have to do it!

5.00We had a great time on this kayaking tour. The amount of time kayaking was totally doable and the sights were beautiful. The cave was very cool. We had a good amount of time to explore and swim/snorkel at the cave area. There was time on the shore where our guides told us stories of the history and mythology of the island, while feeding us a nice snack of some local products. We have gone on many tours with Trekking Hellas Naxos and we have loved all of our guides and all of the tours!
A highly recommended experience!

5.00We had the best time on our sea kayaking tour to Rina Cave this morning. Both of our guides were friendly, informative, and entertaining. We learned interesting and historical facts about Naxos throughout the tour. We arrived at Rina Cave before most of the boats and other sea kayaking tours arrived, which meant it wasn't crowded. The snorkelling into the cave was magical, and the light snack that was provided before the row back was delicious. A must do adventure when visiting Naxos.
