We took the extended 6 hour trip and that was fine. Fine guides, who told us a lot about the area and Greek mythology. The food was delicious and the guides were very reliable. Highly recommended!
Olivier was a good knowledgeable guide, we got lucky to see a number of sea turtles and the sunken city swim is a very unique experience! Highly recommend!
July 28, 2026 FANTASTIC experience! 100% recommended! Becca, Luca and Oliver have offered us a fantastic program; sporting, cultural, nature and even culinary. Particularly well and safely organized! 6 hours of fun with adolescents: rating 10/10 😀
Lots of fun. Oliver was very knowledgeable and an enjoyable tour guide. Recommended!
We had a fabulous time kayaking and learning about the local history with our guide who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. An unexpected highlight was meeting a local fisherman who was catching invasive sea urchins (which threaten the environment) as well as a small octopus which he would return safely to the water. Sadly, tourists are damaging the ruins by ignorantly treading all over them… Although it was over 38 degrees we kept cool with frequent dips and shady spots along our walk. Definitely need sunscreen and a hat! Highly recommend this experience for everyone.
I would like to thank Alex for his honesty and respect to safety and guest comfort. Unfortunately the winds were from the North which would have made kayaking a challenge. He offered multiple alternatives, refund or walking tour and snorkeling with the sunken city. We chose the walking and snorkeling. He took us on a nice hike to the theatre in which his knowledge and enthusiasm was evident. We then saw a beautiful Greek Orthodox Church and view of an active volcano. Finished with the swimming and snorkeling over the ancient sunken city and light snacks and fresh fruit by the sea. I would recommend this excursion and hope to visit again! The port city is beautiful!
It is suitable for a variety of skill levels and physical abilities. Alex, our guide was very helpful, knowledgeable and truly cares about the area. We paddled along the peaceful clear blue sea. We saw multiple sea turtles, had great conversation, and learned about mythology and history of the area. They were even able to accommodate my 75 year old mother. We were sore afterwards, but would go again!
First-time ever to scuba and our guide put me at ease. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating! Would definitely recommend!
Oh wow. A must do and see. Our guides were more than just friendly. They were knowledgeable, curious, and told wonderful tales about every site we visited. Time passed like nothing as I was immersed in the experience. If you’re a lover of history, a lover of nature, a lover of exploration, you’ll for right in.
Guides were incredible, very knowledgeable and kind. We traveled as a family with two kids (7 and 11). It was our 7 year olds favorite thing that we did this entire trip. Highly recommend!
