What are people saying about Naxos

Vittoria_R, Jul 2026

Outstanding day on the water and GREAT hosts!

With Naxos being a quiet Island, we very much enjoyed this excursion! Noah, Christina and Manolos were EXCELLENT tour guides and hosts! While you don’t have to be an expert kayaker, having a marginal amount of experience and ability is helpful. There is about 1 hour and 20 minutes (broken up) on the way out to the 2 stops and then about 1 hour straight through on the way back (with very short breaks). All in, we spent about 3.5 hours at the 2 stops total with plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling, cliff jumping and floating, all personal preference on how you’d like to spend your time. They came equipped with long sleeve shirts, water shoes and hats, but feel free to bring your own. And obviously, life jackets were provided. The 1st stop of the day included great, healthy snacks including fresh fruit. The 2nd stop included a homemade, delicious lunch along with fresh made espresso and cookies! Really outstanding and enjoyable! Manolos and team were beyond knowledgeable of the island and its landscape. Be mindful that we stayed on the port side of the island and to get to the launch point it was a 1 hour and 15 minutes trip so we needed to rent a car to get there. Highly recommend this trip!

Our guide Sandy was an excellent friendly guide. The tour enabled us to see much of Naxos we wouldn’t have seen as we did not rent a car on the island. The stop at the beach was a perfect break in the late afternoon heat. Overall, a very good tour to help you see Naxos and understand its history and culture.

Great group excursion!

Lovely, chill vibes! Boat ride out to first stop is a little longer than I anticipated, but it was wonderfully peaceful just looking at the sea and sky, and hearing the sounds of the water. Crew was great! They also served a delicious lunch! A great alternative to sitting on the beach - and we had a lot of water time!

Highlights of most of Naxos.

We only had two days in Naxos and wanted to see as much as possible without overdoing it. This was the perfect solution! We saw a lot but weren’t rushed. Now we have another day without plans but good recommendations from a local and perspectives we wouldn’t have had before taking this tour.

An absolute must!

This is the must do tour of Naxos island! We had a local, Mario, and he was legendary. Took us to several excellent spots, so much history, and was patient and helpful all along the way. The Pottery was a blast to see, Filoti and Chalki were so beautiful and rich with history. Mario even took us to some churches and gave us some excellent history to think about. Even our teenage daughters had a blast and they still remember this as the most memorable tour of all our 11 days in Greece.
