The Polylimnio waterfalls are a paradise on Earth and one of the one of the most stunning sites in the Peloponnese. Only a few kilometers away from Kalamata is the perfect place for canyoning ideal for beginners. It offers a unique combination of awesome jumps, swims into crystal clear pools, easygoing waterfall abseils, and of course a thrilling zipline over one of the lakes. Our tour here is perfect for everybody who wants to spend an unforgettable day in nature blended with a bit of adventure and loads of fun. Perfect also for beginners and families with kids from 8 years old! The canyon has a footpath running up the side, so it’s great for friends or family members who just wish to come and watch, take photos, and enjoy the canyon from a distance.

Such a fantastic experience- we all loved it 100% recommend Instructors were great Very supporting and encouraging. Amazing scenery
A very adventurous experience! It's a nice trip to change your sunbeds for a harness. You will see the beautiful nature, swim in refreshing waters and climb down waterfalls. Some fitness is required though. The guides are friendly and great at leading you through this tour.
It was a fun and safe experience, perfect for beginners. The location is beautiful. The guides are attentive and super friendly. One of the best memories of the vacation.
This was one of the top experiences we've ever had, anywhere. Breathtaking location - I will never forget literally standing horizontally on a cliff with a huge, stunning waterfall next to me and clear turquoise water below me. This isn't the kind of thing one could attempt on one's own without a lot of gear and experience, but Fotis (the owner) and his guides made it incredible and accessible. They were absolutely trustworthy, experienced, patient. We had some folks in the group (not us) who had a lot of apprehension and/or hadn't realized the nature of the experience, and our guides got them down safely while keeping everyone else happy and calm as well. One note: the website makes it sound like you can easily walk around the areas where the group is canyoning if you don't want to do an element, but it's not actually that easy - in some cases the walk around would be significantly more perilous than rappelling down.
If you like water and heights, this activity is made for you. The moment was nice but the guide was less so. Bring something to eat because the picnic is quite small. I do not recommend it for children under 8 because some passages are quite scary and have no other exit, and also you have to walk a lot; be careful not to come in flip-flops but with closed-toe, non-slip shoes.
If you’re spending your holidays in Greece — and especially exploring the Peloponnese — and want to take home memories that go beyond beautiful beaches, delicious food and friendly people, definitely check out Explore Messinia! We had an absolutely incredible adventure at the Polylimnio Waterfalls. Fully equipped and guided by fantastic instructors, we climbed, jumped into crystal-clear mountain pools from the rocks, rappelled down sheer cliffs alongside waterfalls, and even flew on a zipline. It felt like a real adventure movie! 😍 The scenery was breathtaking, the experience was thrilling, and the instructors were professional, attentive and made us feel completely safe throughout the whole adventure. One of the most unforgettable experiences of our trip to the Peloponnese. Highly recommend Explore Messinia if you’re looking for something exciting and a little more extreme! 🇬🇷💦🧗♀️
What an amazing day this is a fantastic trip. The waterfalls are stunningly beautiful and thanks to our guides we got to experience it all. Having never done canyoning before I was slightly apprehensive but was immediately put at ease by the experienced and very friendly guides Constantina and Fotis. We had so much fun it was exhilarating memories that will last a lifetime and thanks to the prompt delivery of the photos we relived the whole day. Thank you so much we absolutely loved it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
A superb family experience 🌿💦 We are delighted with our canyoning experience at the Polylimnio Waterfalls with Explore Messinia! 🥰 Two absolutely adorable, kind, attentive, and very thoughtful guides, who allowed us to discover this activity as a family in an absolutely splendid setting. A beautiful adventure, accessible and full of beautiful moments, between nature, turquoise water, and magnificent landscapes. 💦🌿 And to finish the effort in style, a small local snack was waiting for us at the finish: a delicious gesture that is truly appreciated! 😋 An activity that we recommend without hesitation, as much for the beauty of the place as for the quality of the guidance. Thanks to the whole team at Explore Messinia for this great time! ❤️🇬🇷
A great experience for our whole family! We had a lot of fun on the tour, and the landscape was simply dreamlike. We jumped, climbed, hiked, and swam – a varied tour! The two guides, Fotis and Fotios, were super nice, warm, and very competent. Along the way, we were told quite a bit about the landscape and the surroundings, which made the tour even more interesting. The prepared picnic at the end with bread, olives, and fresh vegetables was also especially nice – truly a wonderful conclusion! Many thanks to both of you for this great experience! It was beautiful and will remain in our memories for a long time thanks to the many photos. We can absolutely recommend the tour!
