5.00It was the highlight of our trip to Greece. We would do it again in a second. Experiencing beautiful pristine locations under the care of knowledgeable and caring guides aded up to a memorable day on the waters of the Aegean. The company provided everything we needed and things we didn’t even think of, enough guidance was provided so that even beginner kayackers could paddle with confidence. The lunch was amazing, fresh, local, we felt special. The guides were kind, caring, skilled, and very protective of the beautiful places we visited. We highly recommend this experience.
This is how you want to get to know Naxos

5.00I enjoyed getting to know Naxos through the kayak excursion. I love kayaking but this was my first time kayaking on the sea and the first time using a rudder. Christina and Manolis are excellent instructors and they are very patient and kind. They were attentive to the safety of the group and to our enjoyment of the trip. They even put up a canopy so we could enjoy some shade as we ate our delicious lunch on the beach. I felt the whole excursion was planned with great care. The scenery was lovely. I also enjoyed learning some things from our guides about the local geography, history, nature, and their culture. I appreciate their philosophy of “Leave no trace, take only memories.” This was a great experience and I would do it again.
Wow what an experince, a must do!

5.00WOW what a great experience, if I could rate them a 10 I would. Manolis and Christina definitely know how to make a trip you wont forget. They provide ALL the necessary items, full brim hats, swim shirts, shoes, dry bags, tip notch boats and gear. The snack and then lunch was great, the history of the islands was interesting and the scenery and water was magnificent. They are very professional and safety is number one. They make everyone feel welcome, the pace is good and the breaks are timed well. Plan for a full day on the water, bring suntan lotion and you will leave with a smile. Don’t be fouled by trips of lower cost….most can be just a kayaking trip to Reina Caves and back….your missing the real experience with Sea Kayak Naxos. Thanks Manolis and Christina, maybe see you on the ski hills one day. Rhonda and Chris

5.00This was an outstanding excursion. Our guides, Manios and Christina, were friendly, knowledgeable, and hard working. They help you every step of the way, making both novice and experienced paddlers feel comfortable. They set a pace that worked well with all the guests, spending time visiting with each of us. They provided an excellent lunch and plenty of water.
Active, fun, beautiful way to see the other side of the beautiful island of Naxos!

5.00Can’t say enough great things about this tour! Christina was great at communicating with us ahead of the tour and even arranged us a ride to the boat/kayak launch across the island! The day was well planned, perfect for all ages and abilities and provided beautiful scenery for us! Lunch was so delicious under a cool tent! Adventures awaited us on every stop! Snorkeling , cliff jumping, climbing the hills to see new beaches even! The tour was well paced and fun! It was great meeting new people from all over the world and enjoying this journey together! Every detail thought out- we were even given hats, water shoes, SPF shirts to protect our skin and life vests of course! If that’s not enough.. PHOTOS! We put our phones away for the day but we’re gifted wonderful pictures to capture the day! Wow can’t say enough thank you’d to the crew! What a great active day on Naxos!!
