5A great week's paddling for our nordic ski club!
Thanks for running a superb 2 centre week for our club, the expert leading, choice of itineraries and accommodation in fantastic locations made for a really enjoyable and memorable holiday. Your organisation and guides ensured everything ran smoothly, lunches satisfied even the picky eaters and most importantly, our safety on the water was always assured.
5Great family experience
Great experience, more than we expected. The guide was one of the best we had, very friendly, engaging, informative, with a lot of knowledge on kayaking and the area. We loved the rythm. Also the lunch was great. We are a family of 5 with 3 teenagers who are difficult to entertain but we loved it all, memorable family experience.
5Enjoyed our trip learning about the Bay
We enjoyed our Kayak trip in the bay. The guide was VERY knowledgeable taught us so much about the area. Great equipment and first-class service. They even took photos and emailed to us after the trip. They provided delicious cheese and bread and olive oil to snack on. Thank you for a lovely trip.
5Do this! The Kayaking and Guides are Amazing!
Loved the kayaking and the history lesson of the bay we spend the morning on. They take all the photographs so no need to worry about capturing any shots and dropping your camera in the bay. They provided a tasty picnic at the end of the kayaking. Thank you, George and Team for a wonderful day at Navarino Bay!
5Relax and fun
We had an amazing kayaking trip that included refreshments along the way, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It truly added something special to our vacation in Greece and became one of the highlights of our stay. The scenery was beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and everything was well organized. Our kids, aged 14 and 17, absolutely loved it as well—they were just as excited as we were. Highly recommended!
5Highly recommended tour!
Wonderful tour with fantastic guides (Yiannis & Fotis) who gave useful instructions on paddling and knew a great deal about the history of the region. Delightful and lovingly prepared picnic with local products on the beach. It was an unforgettable experience, thank you for everything!
