5.00This was, hands-down, the best excursion I was on during my five-day stay in Naxos (including the hiking and catamaran excursion). It is doable even for a grandma, like me! Manolis was very knowledgeable, friendly, did a great job of showing us around, along with his two guides, Christina and Noah, took some amazing photos of all of us during the excursion so we could focus on the experience, and fed us well (their Naxion salad was as better than any I had in town!). His wife, Christina (not the tour guide Christina - another Christina) picked me up and returned me to my hotel for far less than any other price I was given. When I come back, I will do this again!
A really memorable day....

5.00Excellent guides - highly recommend! Cannot say enough positive about Manoli, the Christinas, and Noah. Wind forced a cancellation of Rina sea caves - but guides looked at the weather and determined we could do a shorter trip the next day before winds picked up. We have 2 teens and another family with 3 younger kids booked - the Sea Kayak Naxos group was the best! Very safety conscious, informative, and helpful. Had a great, fun adventure and highly recommend this group! Do check them out!!
Fantastic Tour!

5.00Absolutely amazing experience and you don’t have to be a professional kayaker to partake! Manioulis and Christina R, extremely knowledgeable and walk you through every step to make you feel secure on the adventure you are about to partake. They are quite gracious and funny! Snacks were delicious fresh fruit and traditional sesame snacks that were amazing! Lunch was fresh salad, local cheese, homemade bread, local olives/capers and some cookies for dessert. He even offered coffee! I can’t rave enough about this tour! If you are even hesitating, don’t! Do it! It’s amazing!
Unforgettable experience of a lifetime!!!

5.00I cannot stress enough how amazing this experience was. Manolis (our guide) was the best guide we have ever had on any trip. He gave a thorough explanation of how to kayak, and his wonderful warm personality helped to create a friendship with our group of 6 people. The trip was filled with breathtaking views that can only be seen on this tour and the most delicious fresh meals made by Manolis himself as we pulled ashore to a secluded spot to enjoy hiking, swimming, cliff diving, or just relaxing. I will never forget this trip, and I will recommend it to anyone who wants a small group experience with the best tour guide ever.
