From the moment booked til the very end, we were very well looked after! The information provided the day before the excursion was perfect and gave us a sense of security knowing exactly what was to be expected and for us to bring the the correct items along also! Our guides were excellent, they were welcome, positive, knowledgeable about the area of which we were kayaking around and with a few funny jokes made us as a group very happy and each couple that was there feel included throughout the trip. The food provided halfway was of high quality and was a demonstration of their passion for local greek cuisine, top marks! The guides took time to fully demonstrate safety provisions of everyone prior to and throughout the excursion but also letting us have some freedom to, we would definitely recommend to anyone!

I wanted to do something totally different during my time in Rhodes, and this excursion exceeded all expectations! I have some prior kayaking experience, so I knew I'd enjoy it — but this trip truly stood out. I ended up being the only person booked on the day, which meant I got a private 2-to-1 guided tour with the amazing Julie and Tsampikos. They were not only incredibly knowledgeable about the area, but also warm, fun, and professional — they really made the entire experience exceptional. The weather was perfect: bright, clear skies and calm waters that made for stunning views of the coastline. And the best part? They took loads of fantastic photos throughout the trip, so I could fully immerse myself in the experience without worrying about missing the moments. I now have an amazing collection of memories to look back on. If you're considering seeing a different side of Rhodes, I can't recommend this excursion highly enough!

I can’t rave enough about how awesome this experience was! Our guides Sabikos and Panos were fantastic! Both were knowledgeable and engaging and honestly two of the nicest people we’ve met. The kayaking was beautiful - and a little bit challenging at some points due to a bit of wind and some waves, but the scenery was absolutely stunning. It was exactly what we wanted to see. The Greek vegetarian lunch/picnic was also so tasty and one of the highlights of the day too (way to go Maria!). We’d highly recommend this trip to anyone who likes to do this type of stuff! One tip - bring your water shoes - the beach where you have lunch is very rocky!

We had a wonderful time kayaking with Caz and George. The water is breathtakingly beautiful and the kayaks are fast. Excellent tour including Anthony Quinn Bay and the tiny pirate cave. Save time to snorkel a bit when you return to the beach. Great guides and a good time.

Just wow! Everything is really thought of here, all the equipment is provided, free photos are taken, there is a snack in a cave. A very cool tour of secret pirate hideouts as well as interesting background information from all three guides Cass, Julie and Panos. Take the tour alone, too. I was the fourth guide to go kayaking with Panos and I heard even more stories. This excursion is an absolute must for any visit to Rhodes!

As a female solo traveller, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment I was picked up by a kind and friendly female guide, I felt completely at ease. The group was small, which made the whole adventure feel personal and relaxed. Our kayaking journey was not only beautiful but also enriched with fascinating insights into both ancient and modern Greek history, shared by our knowledgeable guides. It was the perfect mix of activity, culture, and connection. Midway through the day, we enjoyed a delicious, freshly prepared lunch by the tour provider—such a thoughtful touch. Afterwards, we had some free time to swim, snorkel, and just take in the stunning surroundings. I truly appreciated the care and professionalism of the team. I would absolutely recommend this experience and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Start to finish a very positive experience. Kaz, George and Julie were exceptional guides. Beautiful waters and scenery, delicious lunch in the shade of a cave. One of our favorite excursions.
