Naxos Kayak Tour to Rina Cave with Snorkeling and Homemade lunch

My 10 year old son and I had a wonderful day on the water with the Naxos Kayaks team. The paddling wasn’t too strenuous with plenty of rest breaks. The swimming and snorkeling were superb in the crystal clear waters. Lunch and coffee were both delicious and the guides were caring and very thoughtful. 100% recommend this tour to anyone!

I had a wonderful experience. The kayaking was legitimate, we were fully geared up, and it was definitely a workout to get to the different locations and back. But I felt part of a family with the team, who made it very apparent how important our safety was to them. It was so much fun, and getting to stop, swim, cliff jump, and snorkel was all so enriching. But I think my favorite part was eating a freshly prepared lunch of bread, salad, sliced meat, and cookies/fruit, and hearing the stories from Naxos. Such a special moment.

Absolute highlight of our trip to Naxos. The guides were excellent, the equipment was great and the scenery was unbelievable. The guides prepared a DELICIOUS meal on the beach. A few things to know: 1. They provide everything you need, including water shoes, long sleeve water shirt and a hat, 2. Lunch and snacks were fresh fruits, vegetables, cheeses and bread, 3. The guides take pictures along the way and send a link afterwards (it’s included in the tour price). It’s a long and windy road from Chora to the kayak launch, and there are no bathrooms anywhere. Overall it was an amazing day!

We had wonderful excursion with Manolis and Christina.- the guided our tour from ages 10 to 60 through a beautiful route along the coast filled with interesting history about the area. The cave is a great spot to swim. snorkel and dive. The entire coastline is beautiful. Our lunch stop was delicious, refreshing and restored our energy for the return. This was a full day of paddling so be prepared but it is entirely worth it. I highly recommend.

Pros: - group size - locations stopped were lovely - friendly crew Cons: - End time said 3pm but we got back at 5pm. Much later than planned which is not great. - Pick up in van and refused air conditioning when it didn’t reach the back - Too many long facts and stories about the place we didn’t ask for, just wanted to enjoy the kayak and swims

Absolutely one of the top two guided tour/trips we’ve taken while on vacation and that’s after 30+ years of vacation. From start to finish, the tour was absolutely fantastic. First, they are true outfitters as they call themselves because they provide wide brim, hats, long sleeve rash guards, water, shoes, and even abig bottle of water for those that didn’t remember to bring or didn’t have the ability to bring the right equipment. Then during the entire tour,their knowledge of the area and all the information in history that they could provide just made the trip so much more interesting rather than just paddling away. And the lunch was excellent. The cookies and coffee at the end just made it such a nice touch and the care that they took to make sure everybody had the right experience and enjoyed the trip was above and beyond. You simply cannot go wrong booking this trip.

An excellent excursion with great, knowledgeable guides. The food at lunch was delicious (would maybe just have it midpoint in the trip, rather than so close to the end).

Manolis and Christina were absolutely fantastic, and made this a really memorable experience. Christina ensured we could get to the beach on time and drove us there. And Manolis led the kayaking for the day. It was not only a lot of fun but also so informative. The scenery and cave we visited was stunning. Manolis told us about the history of the places we visited and the flora and fauna. We snorkelled, cliff jumped, kayaked and swam. The lunch provided in the experience was completely delicious, they were very aware of different members of the group who had different food preferences. 11/10.

From the very first contact, we knew Sea Kayak Naxos was different. Every email and message was answered warmly and personally, making the whole booking process smooth, easy and reassuring. We felt as if we were speaking with friends rather than simply booking an activity. The experience itself exceeded every expectation!! Everything was exceptionally well organised. Every detail had been carefully thought through, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the experience. We were a group of six (two mothers and four children), joining people from different countries, yet the team created such a warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere that it felt like spending the day with friends and familiy. Their professionalism, patience and genuine care were outstanding. They paid special attention to the children, making them feel safe, confident and involved throughout the entire adventure. As parents, that meant a great deal to us :) The equipment was excellent, the safety briefing was clear, the route was breathtaking, and the homemade picnic featuring delicious local products was simply outstanding. Every aspect of the day was perfectly prepared. A very special thank you to Manolis, Noah and both Christinas. Your passion, kindness and dedication made this experience truly unforgettable. It is difficult to put into words how much love and enthusiasm you bring to your work, and how much that was reflected in the wonderful day we all shared together. What impressed us most was that this was much more than a kayaking tour. It was a genuine human experience, created by people who truly love what they do and care deeply about both their guests and the beautiful environment they share. Without any doubt, this was one of the highlights of our holiday in Greece and an experience we will always remember. Thank you for giving our families such beautiful memories. We truly hope to see you again one day!

Most beautiful kayak trip ever. Guides were patient, sightseeing amazing, lunch was delicious. It was peaceful and relaxing.
