Activity description

Enjoy a morning sea kayaking excursion off the coast of Santorini from Akrotiri. Welcoming adventurers from ages 14 and up!

Santorini is a picturesque island located in the Cyclades archipelago in Greece. Akrotiri is a historic village located on the southwestern coast of Santorini, known for its archaeological site, stunning views of the caldera and beautiful black sand beaches. 

To start the sea kayaking excursion, you can either meet the certified instructor directly at the starting point on Akrotiri Beach, or choose to be picked up from your accommodation on the island. You don't need to be an expert kayaker to participate in this tour, all you need is to be relatively fit and motivated. The guide will provide the kayaking equipment and go through a quick safety briefing. Before going in the water, you'll have an introductory course to sea kayaking and learn how to paddle effortlessly. Then, you'll set off from Akrotiri along Santorini's southern coastline!

As you paddle in the crystal clear Aegean Sea, you'll have excellent panoramic views of the coastline and the famous caldera. You'll pass by the beautiful beaches of Red Beach, Kambia Beach, and White Beach, discovering these iconic sites from a unique position. Along the way, you'll stop for a break to enjoy a light homemade picnic with local delicacies, snacks, and fresh fruits. You'll have time to swim in the refreshing sea and explore underwater using snorkelling equipment. The adventure will end at the starting point in Akrotiri, where you will then be transferred back to your accommodation in Santorini.

This guided sea kayaking experience is the perfect way to explore Santorini's diverse coastline and stunning views from Akrotiri!

Fun way to spend a morning on Santorini. We paddled past the Red and White beaches, stopped for snorkeling and cliff jumping, and were back in time for a late lunch.

  • 5 / 5

The activity is nice. Pause during the beach was maybe too long.

  • 5 / 5

A lot of fun and very nice instructors. We saw the red beach and continued to the white beach and stopped there for an hour doing snorkeling - beautiful beach!!!!

  • 5 / 5

We booked this tour in advance with the shuttle service and our ride (who was also our guide) was exactly on time. When others didn't show, it became a private tour for just me and my husband. With that, we were able to go at our own pace (faster than most) and have ample time to swim and snorkel at White Beach. What a wonderful way to experience Santorini!

By far the best day of our trip. Haris was the perfect guide, he picked us up at our hotel. He was fun, welcoming, caring,...! He had a waterproof camera so he took many pictures. The place, AMAZING. We honestly couldn't expect more. Thank you! Sonia & Aladin

Gute Ausrüstung und Instruktionen

  • 5 / 5

Quelle superbe façon de decouvrir cette magnifique île par la mer, en restant près des côtes.

  • 5 / 5

The activity started with the cautious pieces of advice of Haris with a lot of humour. The staff also comprised of Dimitris the wise one and Neo the magic young prodigy. It consisted of kayaking on the sea with stops to admires the red and white beach, a stop in a natural small beach carved in the rocks to enjoy food but also cliff jumping for the ambitious ones and some snorkeling in the sea.

Although sea kayaking was physically challenging, thanks to Adonis' funny and witty stories, we could enjoy the trip without feeling the fatigue too much.

  • 5 / 5

We did the morning tour with Adonis, Dimitri and Theodore. Santorini is such a beautiful island and it is incredible to explore the coastline and enjoy the beautiful waters. The banter was enjoyable. The food was delicious. Overall a wonderful experience.

As a family, we've kayaked in different places. We are not skilled or tough. The activity started off great and smooth. We took the sunset tour, which provided a beautiful sunset view out in the sea from the southern point of Santorini. The lunch prepared was great. Adonis and Mike were great. The route we took was very scenic and we learned much about the history of the area and its geologic makeup. As the sunset, the winds kicked up blowing from the shore outward. Yup, at the end of the tour, rowing back to the shore was challenging but doable. Both Adonis and Mike made sure all was well and they assisted when needed by lashing a rope from their kayak to pull others if needed. Got to say this, it was a great experience! Just to say, my wife and I are in our 60's, and we managed well. Highly recommended! We just happened to catch the winds that day, lucky us! Makes for interesting stories later.

  • 5 / 5

The kayaking was a lot of fun and Adonis was very accommodating even when the winds to go the original route, he rerouted us to a nearby beach that was beautiful and the snorkeling was an added bonus! The food was very tasty and hit the spot!

This is a great company. The entire process was well organized. The booking was easily done online with continued communication prior to the event. The transportation to and from our hotel was arranged (and was very punctual) through the company. Our tour guide, George, was great...fun, entertaining, knowledgeable!! A delicious lunch was provided with several options. There was even time for swimming and snorkeling. Just an all around great, active day in this beautiful setting!!

We are so happy that we did this kayaking tour with George. This company is well-organized, the views are spectacular, the tour guide was amazing, and lunch was great too. To top it all off our tour guide George took amazing pictures as we were kayaking. As first-time kayakers this was an amazing experience. We can't wait to do it again when we come back to Santorini.
