About this tour

Ready to upgrade your beach day?

Swap the sunbed for a full-day sea kayaking adventure in Bali, Rethymno — where turquoise waters, secret coves, and wild coastal beauty become your playground. No experience? No worries. Just bring your curiosity and a good splash attitude! 😄🌞

Meet us at Livadi Beach at 10:00 AM, give you a quick, friendly intro, gear you up, and slip into the water with single or tandem kayaks. From there, it’s pure magic: paddle past dramatic cliffs, glide over crystal-clear waters, explore hidden beaches, and snorkel in spots you can only reach by kayak. 🤿💙

Depending on sea conditions and the group’s vibe, we’ll follow a calm beginner-friendly route or take the more adventurous west side — raw, rugged, and absolutely breathtaking. And hey… keep your eyes open! There’s always a chance to spot a loggerhead sea turtle cruising by. 🐢✨

Feeling hungry? Bring your lunch along or grab a delicious meal at a local taverna. Either way, you’ll be fully equipped with high-quality kayaks, paddles, and snorkelling gear — we handle the details, you handle the fun.

Perfect for families, friends, couples, and solo explorers, this trip is easily reachable from Chania, Rethymno, or Heraklion, and it’s hands down one of the most accessible and rewarding adventures on Crete.

By 4:30 PM, you’ll return sun-kissed, salty-haired, and smiling like someone who just had the best day of their holiday. 😎🌊

👉 Book now and paddle your way into memories you’ll brag about for years!

    I did the Bali trip with my two sons and Stelios was a great coach as well as guide, the equipment was also excellent. We had a really good time and look forward to putting our new skills to good use off the Welsh coast

    Der Tagestrip mit war fantastisch. Alles war perfekt organisiert, Ives meisterte mit viel Charme, Witz und guter Umsicht, auf Jeden einzelnen entsprechend seiner Erfahrungsstufe einzugehen. Die Seekajaks, die Stelios in Eigenproduktion fertigt, sind absolut klasse!

    Δεν έχω “συνεργαστεί” ακόμα μαζί τους αλλά χωρίς αμφιβολία δείχνει να είναι η πιο ενημερωμένη “ομάδα” για περιηγήσεις με καγιάκ στην Κρήτη. Απίστευτες εικόνες, αξίζει σίγουρα μια επίσκεψη το site για να πάρετε μια ιδέα. 🙂
