Top Santorini Outdoor Activities - page 9

We aren't expert kayakers but this excursion ended up being the highlight of our first time in Santorini. The water is beautiful, clear, rocky but we felt safe the whole time. Adonis, our guide, was confident, calm, but also had jokes to keep the adventure stress free. Elliot, spent extra timing making sure we knew exactly how to work this kayak and never made us feel bad for being slower compared to the group. Lia, gracious got us a driver to take us to Oia to see the beautiful city and sunset. Even though I initially said no to her setting up a fair (details below), she didn't make me feel like I was inconviening her to set one up last minute. The price was also reasonable (Like uber/lyft rates in US) The entire time, the team clearly wants you to enjoy your time in Santorini, they love the city and the water too. They also take adorable photos of you with phone and GoPro and will send them afterwards. They have some things waterproof cases, extra water for purchase which was very convenient and reasonablely priced. Book the kayaks!! It's fun! Our lesson learned: We booked with viator, Lia personally messaged us to confirm our arrival time and if we needed additional transport. We said no the private car they offered (pretty much an uber/lyft via local driver) assuming we could take the public bus and save some cash. She was kind and respected our decision, but said to let her know if we needed anything. The public bus team was confusing to navigate, only took small bills/euros, were rude, and didn't speak much English. The day we went, it was on time though, but apparently typically isn't.
