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.
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.
The welcome and support from Panos and Zoe is warm and very friendly. Everything is very clear and well organized. They allowed us to have a wonderful morning as a family where we enjoyed an original, pleasant, and gentle outing. Thanks again for these good times.
Great paddleboarding outing with George in Voidokilia Bay. There were 4 of us, 2 adults and 2 teenagers who had never done it before. George introduced us to paddleboarding before heading into the bay and to a cove not far away. We were able to play with the children while admiring the magnificent landscape before enjoying a delicious picnic. And we even got some great photos! With his smile and energy, George made this outing brilliant and unforgettable!
It was a beautiful day with our guide George in Navarino Bay. George is a fantastic guide with exciting stories about the history of the bay. Great kayaks. Everything was perfect!
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.
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!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you loved the kayaking experience and the history of Navarino Bay. It’s great to know the guides helped make the morning memorable, and we’re glad the photos added to the experience too. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
We had a great time with George in Navarino Bay. Beautiful scenery, ideal weather, calm sea. A huge thank you to our guide George for his kindness, his good humor, his explanations in English and French about Greece, his motivation and his excellent picnic. Many thanks for this wonderful adventure!
Merci à vous. Nous transmettrons à George — qu'il commente la Grèce en français comme en anglais n'est pas un détail; c'est ce qui empêche les histoires de se perdre dans la traduction. La baie de Navarino change beaucoup d'un mois à l'autre — quand vous reviendrez, ce ne sera pas la même journée.
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!
Thank you — we'll pass this on to George. Teenagers are usually the harder half of any family trip, so if 14 and 17 both stayed in it, the pacing was right. Whenever you're back in this part of Greece, let us know.
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!
Thank you so much! 🌊🛶 We’re thrilled you loved kayaking in Navarino Bay with Yiannis and Fotis. Glad the beach picnic and local treats added to the fun, unforgettable memories are what we aim for! 💙
