The guided kayaking tour of the Pakleni Islands was an incredible experience. The route was manageable even for beginners, and the crystal-clear water was absolutely stunning. We explored several different islands, each offering its own unique charm. Lunch was delicious. Our guide, Steve, was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt supported throughout the journey.

It was a bit strenuous, but great fun! Our guide, Esteban, was a gem. We ended up having a private tour with him, and he was a great help and terrific person. The beaches were gorgeous and we had a fantastic day!

Excellent day out. Our guide was really patient and took it at our own speed. He showed us some great spots and we also got to experience our first ever snorkel. 100% would recommend and certainly an experience I won’t forget.

Brilliant tour

Marko took us on the tour of Pakleni Islands, he was very knowledgeable about the local area and very helpful teaching us how to kayak. We ate at a restaurant on one of the islands and it was the best fish we had ever had!! I would 100% recommend this tour.

Une journée insolite

Excellente journée passée avec notre guide Ti, qui nous a amenés dans des petites criques aux eaux turquoises. Guide adorable, avec qui nous avons bien discuté. Je recommande vivement !
