Two days before we went on the kayak trip, we had an EXCELLENT sailboat experience. We didn't think that could be topped. But the kayak trip was literally the highlight of our whole trip. The guides were EXCELLENT. They were funny, professional, and extremely skilled paddlers. The sunset was breathtaking, and our visit was even complete with an incredible (and rare for Santorini) double rainbow. We will never forget our sunset kayak trip in Santorini and strongly recommend this tour.

Sunsets at sea with Kayaks, snorkeling, dinner and a great guide!

Fiona_H, Aug 2025
Great trip with a wonderful guide.. Marco was great! He was fun, articulate knowledgeable and made the trip enjoyable from beginning to end . The kayaking was awesome and dinner was delicious. Great views of the beaches and a beautiful sunset. A must do in Santorini m!!

Best experience on Santorini!

Monica_K, Oct 2024
Amazing kayak, Panos is a great guide and the sunset was just breathtaking. The water is beautiful and clear, slightly chilly in October but worth a quick snorkel. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful experience

Sheri_C, Sep 2024
My kayaking experience was wonderful. My guide Alex was very professional and informative about the areas history. Iam happy I got to see such a remote part of Santorini that many travelers do not. Thank you

Godfreys give it the full thumbs 👍 up

Karen_G, Aug 2024
Alex and Nikki did a superb job from beginning to end, we as a family felt welcomed, informed, guided and reassured and looked after throughout the whole experience which was excellent. From swimming/ snorkelling break and refreshments to the evening meal afterwards and of course the key element the kayaking was fantastic and good value for money. Our fond memories of Santorini will certainly be enhanced by this kayaking event we undertook with you. And would recommend to anyone who is considering taking part during their holiday.Thank you once again 🚣 x

Great experience.

Corey_B, Jul 2024
We were picked up from our hotel and dropped off afterward. The staff were all very nice and helpful. They were knowledgeable as well. We had a nice snack in the middle and food at the end.

Great kayak experience

Margie_K, May 2024
Being on the beautiful water and calm seas was great! Alex our guide was also great. The dinner afterwards was so delicious and made local which was wonderful. Great experience.

Completely awesome excursion

william_l, Sep 2023
If you're to go on one excursion in Santorini, this one's it. From expert guides, to kayaking in open water, to dipping your toes/or snorkeling in the Aegean Sea, oh,did I mention seeing the sun set in a kayak on the water? PS. The snacks/drinks/Mediterranean light dinner by the sea was all included too 😁

A must do

Jenn_M, Aug 2023
My friend and I went to Greece back in Sept (forgot to write a review until now). This is easily my favorite activity we did in Greece. Will forever be a core memory. There was ample time to kayak and the food at the end was authentic Greek food from a local restaurant. It's been almost a year and I'm still thinking about this. You won't regret booking this!

Awesome experience!

Miranda_S, Aug 2023
We had such a great experience! We initially had a different kayaking trip planned, that got canceled by the host so we booked this one instead & we were so happy we did. The guides were super friendly & while we had kayaking experience others didn't and they were very patient & wanted to show them how to do it properly. We did a nice kayaking journey, with a quick stop and then got to watch the sunset back on the water. Quite a magical moment. It was a good balance of doing something active but also when sunset time came around you got to chill & just watch. Loved it!

Wonderful Time and activities

Ibrahim_A, Jul 2023
It was my first Kayaking experience and I loved it. You can see areas only accessible by Kayak or hard to reach spots like white beach. You meet interesting people and watch the best sunset view. Great food and fun snorkeling that is just amazing.

Amazing sunset and great taverna.

Patricia_M, Jun 2023
Sofia and her crew were great. The sunset was unmatched and we enjoyed a nice meal at an authentic taverna. Kayaks are double and it is not overly taxing. So nice to be on the water apart from the crowds.

Beautiful experience

Ben_S, Jun 2023
Sophia & her bald Russian friend (can’t remember his name!) were AMAZING!! They made special accommodations for us to make it back to our cruise ship on time, & it was a blast! Beautiful water, beautiful sunset, beautiful beaches. Highly recommend.

Very unsatisfactory experience

Amanda_B, Jun 2023
The tour guide was extremely dismissive of participants concerns regarding securing of passports and belongings to be left at base office. Safety concerns regarding participants ability to reach pedals for steering kayak were rudely dismissed by guide. We were waiting in transport van for late arrivals so this impacted our ability to enjoy the sunset experience and feeling rushed with only a few minutes to see sunset. The driver who drove us from kayaks to final tavern was driving in safely and erratically while using cell phone and operating vehicle for our transport. Only one person at final Resturaunt for last stop who was very overwhelmed. Final transfer: the driver was lost and would not listen to us even as we gave directions to our accommodations. Very unsatisfied with the experience especially given how much money I spent for us.

Unforgettable

Jordan_H, May 2023
After finishing the tour, our guide took us out into the water as a group and we silently watched the sun set

Best thing I did in Santorini!

Portfolio_R, May 2023
This might be my favorite memory I will take from Greece! Any skill level can enjoy this adventure. After waiting in a spot in oia the day before for over an hour so we could get nice sunset photos it was much better to take them from our own kayak. Beautiful sights to see from very stable kayaks. Panos was a terrific guide and such a nice human to have met! Can't recommend this adventure enough! To top it off it ended with a great farm to table experience where I was able to eat a lot of local dishes that I likely would not have ordered on my own and the food was fantastic!

Gorgeous sunset kayaking trip with our guide Panos!

Lauren_O, Apr 2023
This tour was awesome!! Totally beautiful and great exercise. Panayiotis (aka Panos) was our excellent guide. He took us to a number of beaches and viewpoints only accessible from the water. It was a cool, cloudy day, but that honestly made for even more dramatic colors and great pictures. We stopped at a small family-owned cafe also reachable only by boat. After we were done on the water, he took us to a wonderful restaurant where they prepared a delicious meze platter for us. Highly recommend this excursion. Also, we booked this in early April and found this to be the perfect timing if you want to avoid the high summer crowds and don’t mind cooler temps.

Really fun kayak with breath taking sunset and delicious dinner

Sophie_D, Nov 2022
We had a fantastic time kayaking. Watching the sunset from the Kayak was the highlight. We chose not to snorkel but it was great that we had the time to do so if we wanted. The 'light' dinner is actually very hearty and more than enough to fill us up, and very tasty. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend

Jordan_F, Oct 2022
Our tour guide was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We got ample time to explore the different sites and snorkel. There was only 4 people in our group which made it very personable. The food was incredible. Even the minibus driver was great company with her interesting stories from the island. Highly recommend!

'Put it in second and do a hand brake turn'

Bethany_C, Oct 2022
Kayaking at sunset was probably one of the highlights of our week in Santorini. Panos was a brilliant guide, very knowledgeable and patient and still managed to be cracking fun and kept a smile on his face even when we were all being completely inept. Yes the track down is a little rough but it just adds to the sense of adventure! Food in the tavern was FANTASTIC! Overall 10/10 would recommend.

Skip Oia and watch the sunset from the Aegean

Jamie_I, Sep 2022
Costas and his entire team were absolutely wonderful. Such a fun experience to get out and interact with nature. You can tell the guides enjoy their jobs and are very knowledgeable. Dinner was fantastic too. Overall top notch experience to avoid the crowded cities for the evening and see the sunset from the water. Absolutely recommend!

Highly recommend

Kumar_V, Aug 2022
We enjoyed this trip very much. The instructors are very patient and experienced. We had a mishap and our kayak flipped. The trainers, Stratos and Litza were very composed and help us back in the kayak within 5-10 mins. Highly recommend this trip.. even for beginners

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Breanna_K, Aug 2022
Awesome guides, beautiful views, snorkeling stop, gorgeous sunset, then fantastic dinner - what more could you want? It was my first time kayaking and they made it approachable and FUN! Kostas and Stravos (sp?!) were an absolute blast to hang out with, highly recommend!

Top Experience on Santorini

EA_C, Jul 2022
I don’t know how people work all season and still manage to make a trip like this fresh for those of us visiting - the whole team at Trekking Hellas seems to be having a great time, all the time. They were very good about helping out less experienced kayakers and I felt safe at all times. The water was beautiful, and the climactic sunset did not disappoint. I think they balance the trip really well between paddling and resting (exploring the sea cave, describing the geology of the beaches). The light fruit snack was much appreciated at the halfway point, and a refreshing dip in the sea was welcome after kayaking in the late afternoon sun. This is one of those great experiences where dinner, which is already very good, tastes even better after working up an appetite on the water.

Great guides, safe kayaks...

DrAjay_S, Jul 2022
Great guides, safe kayaks and views of the sunset, to die for...loved the group...one tip wear swimming goggles to avoid glare and salt water/suncream/sweat mix in your eyes...but otherwise what a worthwhile experience

SO FUN

Robert_S, Jul 2022
What a great time! This was probably my favorite thing we did on our trip to Greece. The guys who led the kayak tour were kind, knowledgable, and hilarious. The views were beautiful, especially at sunset, and the dinner afterward was delicious. 10/10 recommend doing this!

Incredible experience

Elizabeth_S, Jul 2022
The whole experience was amazing. The crew could not have been more incredible, friendly and welcoming. Even when my partner felt seasick they kept checking in, making sure we were okay! The sunset was beautiful, as were the beaches. We both loved it and would do it again!

Kayaking was ok, the sunset great, the rest horrible

Julia_J, Jul 2022
Please note that there is an hour travel to & from this adventure - they should really make it cheaper & let you get there on your own. They were 30 minutes late picking us up & even though the adventure was supposed to be done by 9 - we did not get back until it was 11 pm & we were starving & our hotel had stopped dinner. They said they would pick us up at 4pm & then they didn't feed us dinner until 9pm & it was a very light meal. Really the sunset was worth 5 stars, the snorkeling 1 star, the kayaking group was too big & they made you group a lot - the guide (in training) smashed my wife's arm so bad she nearly cried.

Wonderful experiênce!!!

Anaisabel_S, Jul 2022
We love that experience! Teachers are amazing, so much professionals, fun, friendly, attentive e very outgoing which helps to relax for those who go for the first time! It os not dificult with them! Um the end the tradicional light dinner is very good, and os the aniversary of one os the guys in the experience and they have the attention to prepare a little surprise for him...very sweet! We definitly recomend! Thank you guys, Kosta, Panos and the youngest smily guy.

Sunset view

Ronak_P, Jun 2022
Very memorable, excellent sunset view. Tour guides were very helpful and were very informative. It’s a must do tour if you are visiting santorini.

Costa best tour guide

Carlos_A, Jun 2022
This kayaking tour was def one of the best I have been on. Costa the tour guide was funny, informative and very patient with everyone. I went with family and we all had a great time. I def recommend this particular company with Costa as your tour guide. The sunset was very nice as well. And towards the end the food was so refreshing and authentic. All staff were super nice and checking on us that we were ok. I could go on and on but you have to check this company out for yourself. Thanks costa one more time!
