5.00My Wife and I 70 years young Bill &Liz Geddes booked through Silver seas Cruises ! A relatively small group of 10 in total and what a fantastic experience . The warmth of the greeting the help in preparation and the safety briefing factual informative and even some great humour thrown in with the different uses for a paddle or split paddle !! The wind made the sea choppy in places but we soon became confident with guidence and help. Three bays visited and then a great buffet (it was a lot of thought into food prep) .on a small secluded beach for some good snorkelling and swimming . Such a good trip with great people and an experience to try ! Bill /Liz Geddes Scotland

5.00Highlight of our stay in Santorini so far! The kayaking, swimming, and picnic were was all perfect! It was great to have Nolan as our guide who made even our inexperienced kayaker feel comfortable out on the water.
Kayaking was wonderful!

5.00We had such an amazing time kayaking the coast of Santorini. The views were awesome, beaches immaculate, and the caves were incredible cool. Our guide, Nolan, was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and made the experience one to remember. I could not highly recommend this enough!
Request Nolan if possible. But amazing company and outfitter to book a kayak trip thru. Top tier all the way around.

5.00This was such an amazing trip. Almost exclusively due to our guide Nolan. The trip itself was one of the most beautiful views you can imagine. My girlfriend was very anxious through because she has an innate fear of water. However, she stood her ground, faced her fears and ended up having an amazing time. Nolan reassured her throughout the trip and that the weather was perfect and that we were handling the trip (and kayak) like pros. He was so chill calm and collected and just genuinely an amazing person to hangout with and talk to for a few hours. He didn’t rush anything and was an amazing vibe to be around. If I came back I would request him as our guide time and time again. 10 out of 5 experience. The absolute highlight of our Santorini trip.
Amazing beach picnic

5.00A lovely way to spend a few hours paddling around the various different coloured beaches as well as sea caves. A chance for a swim, followed by a delicious home made picnic on the beach. Food was amazing. Guide was very helpful. Length of activity was just right.
