About this tour

Ready to glide into one of Crete’s most peaceful and stunning landscapes? 🚣‍♂️💙

Join us in Agia Galini for a sea kayaking adventure that blends chill vibes, hidden gems, and pure coastal magic.

Paddle with your certified guide through sparkling turquoise water, slipping into mysterious sea caves and exploring rugged cliffs carved by time. 🌊✨ Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned paddler, the sheltered bay keeps things smooth, safe, and seriously beautiful.

When hunger strikes, pull up at a cosy local taverna—think delicious food, cold drinks, and classic Cretan hospitality. 😋🍽️ Afterwards, dive back into the fun with snorkelling and swimming in water so clear you’ll swear someone cleaned it with glass cleaner. 🐠💎

Depending on the day and weather, we explore 15–21 km of coastline, discovering remote coves, vibrant underwater life, and some epic rock formations—all while soaking in sunshine and good vibes. ☀️🏖️

It’s relaxing, refreshing, a little adventurous—and a whole lot unforgettable.

Hop in, paddle out, and let Crete show you its magic from the sea. 🌊💙🚣‍♀️

    Questions about Agia Galini Guided Sea Kayak Journey

    • What kind of kayaks are provided?

      Single or tandem (double) kayaks are available. People with no experience will be given a tandem kayak as those are easier to paddle unless you want to try a single. Experienced paddlers can get superb boats from Nigel Dennis, Valley, North Shore, P&H and 3kymia sea kayaks.

    • What is the total paddling distance of this trip?

      We will paddle around 15-18km and there will be plenty of time for swimming and snorkelling. Distance can be shortened or extended based on group needs.

    • Is this trip suitable for first-timers?

      Yes, no kayaking experience is needed to join this trip.

    • What should I bring with me?

      If you don’t want to have lunch in the taverna, be sure you pack your lunch. Other than that, you will need 1.5lt of water (ideally in small bottles), sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, a swimsuit, a Lycra shirt or any t-shirt ideally with UV protection. You will also need shoes that you do not mind getting soaked in, as you will get your feet wet.
