Perfect way to be on the water! - From the funny, patient guides. 3! To the wonderful sounds, sights and yes tastes.. big light lunch!! This was fun!

Fantastic Sunset Kayak Tour - Through sheer stupidity, we slept through our kayak tour that started at 10 AM. When we called the company, they very graciously allowed us to swap our time for a sunset tour instead. The first point to be made is Trekking Hellas' customer service was phenomenal. The sunset tour in August is 100% the way to go as the sun won't be beating down on you and it's not as hot as it is at noon. We were provided with towels (because I forgot ours), cases for our phones so they wouldn't get wet, and Panos (our wonderful guide) let me borrow a long sleeved shirt that could get wet so the sun wouldn't fry me. You see what I mean about phenomenal customer service? The tour itself was everything I wanted it to be and more. We got fun exercise on the water, explored a cave, and even snorkeled. The food was plentiful and delicious, and Panos was full of interesting information on Santorini. Watching the sun set on the water was serene and intimate, which isn't something you really get with other tourists around you like on the island. This was a great amount of exercise for a vacation: not strenuous and no one was sore the next day. We saw an older couple on a tour as well so I think people in decent physical shape could easily do this. Panos let us set the pace so if you wanted to go faster/slower, you definitely could.

Cruise shore excursion with kayaking - Spent a great day kayaking and snorkeling with Panos as our guide along with Yanis and Niki. They were all very friendly and helpful making sure we were all safe and where we needed to be. The trip included a delicious lunch on the beach with nice views.

Kayaking and Snorkeling fun - This tour was my favorite experience of our entire Mediterranean travel! We did have some frustration with the transport to the kayaks, but once that was sorted out we had an amazing day! Make sure your booking site provides accurate information for meeting the transport. When we arrived (the journey was a little scary if you are not used to Greek Roads) Panos, Nikki and Yannis were so helpful and friendly. We started at the Black Beach and traveled all the way to the Red Beach with stops along the way to take in the sights. We went snorkeling and were able to see lots of small fish and sea life. We also were provided a delicious homemade lunch--stuffed tomatoes, potatoes, feta, fresh fruit and more. The sights were breath taking and the water was such a nice break from the heat. If you love an adventure, this is definitely an experience you don't want to miss.

Great active experience in Santorini - This was a wonderful experience. Our tour guides were highly skilled in kayaking and managing large groups, and the equipment was in good condition. Snorkeling was available at about the halfway point in the tour, and I’m surprised more of our group didn’t partake - the clear waters and beautiful small fish made it my favorite part of the trip. The tour guides finished the trip by driving us to a local tavern where we had a heavy hors d’oeuvres a few sips of wine. I’d do it again!

Best kayak trip ever! - I just want to say Panos and Alex were such wonderful guides! Panos answered all of my questions that I had ahead of time and with such professionalism! My husband and I were in 1 kayak and my daughter went with Panos, he was so very kind and informative. The stop for a snack and Greek coffee was most excellent. The host was such a lovely gal. I wish I could remember her name she made us all a fruit salad and Panos made us all a Greek coffee. We had a rainy day, but Panos and Alex made the trip so memorable and fun that we didn't mind the rain. Thank you Panos and Alex for a wonderful day! You are both such an inspiration!

Fantastic experience! 10/10 would recommend - Had a great time on this kayaking excursion! We had a double kayak with a rutter making it easy to steer. We kayaked along the southern coast of the island taking in the views and swam in a bay on the Mediterranean Sea. Although I don’t think previous kayaking experience is required, it is helpful. Our tour guides were awesome - very friendly, easy to communicate with, and knowledgeable about not just the tour but other aspects of Santorini in general. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing scenery but let down by description of longer trip. (we would have paid for just the 3 hr 30 trip otherwise) - The trip was awesome but felt very let down by the description of the trip. The trip was the longer of the two options (5 hrs not 3.5 hrs) and with transfer which added on additional cost so we were expecting a trip that went from 1000 - 1500. Unfortunately we were delivered back to the hotel at 1330 and picked up at 0945. this equivalates to a 2 hr 45 kayak with about 45 min transfer time. The instructors were amazing and the trip was amazing part from not seeing the lighthouse that was posted in the description. We also did not receive snacks on the trip but just a lunch. We are experienced sportspeople and the kayaking was very easy! so feel that we could have done a lot more if allowed. When we asked for a 20% refund we were told that the trip did not include the lighthouse and that the trip also included transfer time etc as well (even though we paid extra for that!) . IN light of this we will be expecting some form of refund and will be approaching our credit card company for a refund as the trip was not as advertised.

Nice employees and a fun excursion while it lasted - We had a reservation for 5 for the 5 hour kayak tour with lunch. Panos was our lead guide and Yiannis was his assistant. The kayak trip started quite late since the other parties in the tour arrived more than 30 minutes after the scheduled start time. We had hoped this would not affect our anticipated adventure but unfortunately it greatly impacted our snorkel and beach time. We had swimmers in our immediate group and sadly they only had less than 5 minutes to swim in the sea before they were hurried out to have a refreshing fruit snack and beverage. Others in our group barely had a chance to walk down to the end of the small and lovely beach. Panos was an excellent guide and had great charisma. He spent genuine time chatting with each member in the group and tried to get to know a little bit about everyone. He also had a great sense of humor. Yiannis was sweet, conversational and accommodating. He paddled one of our family members back to the original site with so much ease. The equipment was solid and the extra accessories were helpful in keeping any belongings dry. I’m not sure if this was a usual option, but they had transportation available at the beach stop and asked/encouraged participants to return with the car. Our group of 5 preferred to kayak back to the starting point. Panos and Yiannis were gracious and guided us back and pulled the other kayaks that were used by the participants who elected to be driven back. At the end of our kayak trip, we were led to a local restaurant called Good Heart (English translation). We sat as a group (us and the others who did not kayak back) toward the entrance of the restaurant. The restaurant had gorgeous views, so it was a little bit of a bummer we couldn’t sit in that viewing area of the establishment. They served us platters of yogurt dip, tomato balls, fava bean dip, cucumber slices, bread, tomato dip, stuffed squash tips, stuffed grape leaves, olives, eggplant dip and tomatoes. It was a nice snack/light lunch after some kayaking. Funny thing is, one of our group said “where’s the meat”? The other people left with their arranged transportation and we were left by the final guide toward the end of the snack/light meal. He bid his adieu and said we could stay as we wished. The employees of the organization are lovely. The adventure is memorable. The equipment feels safe. Our only disappointment is in the fact that we paid a full fee for a group of 5 for a 5 hour adventure and sadly our activity started at 10:45 and ended at 2:15. It was supposed to have started at 10am and lasted 5 hours. We liked our guides very much and left a generous tip. We tried to give it to them individually but they directed us to their general “tips appreciated” box. Thank you for being kind to our family.
