We had an incredible time on this kayak tour! We could not have asked for a better experience. Kalliopi provides first class service. She provided clear communication about the pickup time/location, created friendly conversation amongst everyone in the group on the drive, provided everything we needed for the trip, and cooked a delicious lunch. It was top notch and so much fun. We saw the same sites as all the boats, but when it was crowded Kalliopi knew where to go and how to provide a more private experience. We had an excellent time on the water, but felt like a part of a small family as a result of Kalliopi's incredible care, hospitality, and warm personality. We would 100% recommend and would even consider doing it again if we came back it was so good.

This was the best experience in all of Greece. It was a most gorgeous day and an amazing small, fun group. And the best part was our host and guide. An intimate experience of what Greek hospitality feels like. I highly recommend.

Everything was perfect—the pickup, the organization, the vibe, and the stunning setting! It was truly our most memorable day in Santorini. My daughter and I loved exploring the caves, getting so close to the cliffs, and enjoying the crystal-clear waters of Santorini while kayaking. It was an absolutely marvelous experience.
Calliope was the perfect host, anticipating all of our needs! I truly admire her for creating such an incredible business while ensuring that every guest has a magical day at sea in Santorini. Thank you Calliope, we will never forget you and this day! You will be forever in our hearts and will always be remembered here in Brazil. All the best!

This was a phenomenal experience! Communication before the trip was clear, everything we needed was provided, and the personal touches made the excursion feel like a day out with close friends. This was such a cool and unique experience. Highly recommend!
Amanda_F, Jun 2025
Our guide was so sweet and kind. Kayaks and all gear was top shape and she homemade delicious lunch for everyone. It’s a nice slow beautiful paddle w amazing scenery. BRING SUNSCREEN as it’s 5 hours in the sun- or better yet wish I had packed rash guards. They had bucket hats for all thankfully and even a glass of wine at the end.

Kalliopi is an amazingly kind and charismatic tour guide. We had a beautiful experience with the entire tour. I would recommend this tour to ANYONE.
Helen_D, Jun 2025

Dina_B, Jun 2025
Kalliopi and Costas made our kayak adventure amazing. We felt secure and had all the safety equipment needed. They guided us thru the beautiful Greek coastline. I espiecially loved visiting sea caves with our special group. Would recommend Serenity tours to all who love to kayak and begginners who want to learn.
Sonya_L, Jun 2025
Kalliopi is amazing, we loved her positive energy and were treated like family. She provided one of the most breathtaking experiences we had on the island. Very well thought out with all of the details taken care of. The food was top notch, couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you Kalliopi!
Alyssa_B, May 2025
Amazing! This was so fun and just enough of a challenge! We saw so many things on this kayak tour, our guides were fantastic, the lunch provided was homemade by our guide and it was SO good. Cannot recommend this enough!
Eric_P, Aug 2024
If you’re visiting Santorini, this excursion is no doubt the best way to experience the amazing scenery. Kalliopi is an outstanding tour guide and prepared a delicious picnic; Greek Salad and the best Spanakopita I have ever had. Don’t waist your time in crowed Oia; this tour is a definite must to fully experience Santorini’s natural beauty. THANK YOU Kalliopi !!!
Alison_M, Jul 2024
Awesome small group experience. Great paddling and swimming… Wonderful people running an awesome experience we loved it.
David_V, Jul 2024
It was an amazing kayaking trip. But what made this trip the best was Kalliopi's attention to the details and personal touch. She prepared all of us appropriately by supplying a specific type of hat, blankets for your legs, a water satchel, individual dry bags - just to name a few. It was also the thought she put into preparing an authentic lunch for us in individual compartments for each couple. Kalliopi made the time with her feel like we were friends, not customers, going on an adventurous kayak trip. The kayaking was a blast. A nice blend of challenge and fun while we learned and saw various sights. Highly recommend.
Sally_S, Jun 2024
This was such an awesome experience! Our guide, Kalliopi, was so kind and personable, and created a memorable day for our family. She introduced us to her family and also prepared a delicious lunch for us. The kayaking instructions were very clear, making the whole experience a lot of fun. The waters were calm, and we were able to see, from the water, parts of the island that we otherwise wouldn't have seen. I can't say even one negative thing about this tour. I would HIGHLY recommend!!
Shirla_W, May 2024
We loved the whole kayaking experience, especially with the addition of cliff-jumping, snorkeling, and kayaking into caves. The picnic was wonderful, as well, with typical Greek foods.

This was a fabulous kayaking tour. I cannot say enough good things about Kalliopi, she is personable, welcoming and warm and also knows her stuff. She’s great on the water and tells interesting facts and stories about the area. The lunch was such a bonus too, great local fresh food, so yummy. Her and her family put a lot of care, thought and effort into the trip. Thank you for welcoming us and making some great memories!! :). Hope to see you again sometime Kalliopi, maybe with our whole family together next time!!!
Take care, Tracy & Ryan.

This was our favorite thing to do in Santorini!
Kalliopi was a warm and welcoming guide and made the experience special.
Got to see the beautiful waters/beaches and caves. I highly recommend this

You should wear special beach shoes. The trip was nice, the food delicious and we had a lot of fun. Recommendation for sure.
Emily_R, Sep 2023
We had the best time with Kalliopi! She welcomed us into her home where her mom made us coffee and we got to know each other and the other tour participants. Then we went on a magical kayak adventure with incredible views and a stop for swimming and and snorkeling. She also prepared us a delicious meal, our best lunch in Greece. On the way back we explored amazing sea caves. Kalliopi took photos throughout and shared them at the end of the tour via airdrop. She also bid us farewell with a glass of wine. Transfer to and from Fira was seamless. If you are considering another company, book with Kalliopi and you won’t regret it. The highlight of our vacation!

This was a beautiful day out. It was well organized, we kayaked along a beautiful coastline seeing impressive geological changes in the cliffs. We loved the caves! There was plenty of time to swim & snorkel. Our picnic lunch was fabulous! Thank you, Kalliope for an amazing day!
Errol_P, Aug 2023
Kalliopi is fantastic and her team is amazing. The trip was more than just Kayaking. We learned about the people of Greece and the Santorini customs. Kalliopi’s love of her country, sports, and nature are second to none and is the reason why her passion for Kayaking shines through. We saw the beauty of Santorini through her eyes. This is a once in a life time excursion. Don’t pass it up!
Jacquie_T, Jul 2023
Kalliope and her niece were excellent guides on the Kayak and snorkelling trip. We had a fun-filled day of adventure and made some new friends. When I return to Santorini next Oct or November I will be doing this with friends and will recommend Serenity Kayak to anyone who is going to Santorini.
Melanie_B, Jul 2023
We had a great time with Kalliopi, she’s an amazing guide and showed us the wonders of Santorini from the sea. The picnic lunch was delicious, we absolutely recommend this tour!! We were treated like family
Filippo_B, Sep 2022
Nice tour with a great guide.
The tour is tailored to the day's conditions and is flexible to account for requests from the participants. The guide is very nice and knowledgeable, always lightening the mood and keeping the interest up.
Food is good. It's all cold, as expected, but more than enough for a lunch, considering also that you have to paddle all the way back to the starting point afterwards.
Holland_G, Aug 2022
Absolutely amazing experience! Did this on the last day of my solo trip and it was a great way to end a perfect week. Kalliopi is extremely gracious and accommodating to groups, couples, and solo travelers.
Rachel_S, Aug 2022
This was truly one of the best experiences of our entire trip to Greece! We are not the most active of people, and we are definitely beginning kayakers, but Kaillopi (the amazing tour guide) made the day relaxed, easygoing, and never too physically strenuous! We loved getting to see the island in a different way. The driver was prompt to pick us up at the hotel, we had a lovely coffee at Kaillopi’s home, and then we set off for the day. We were given everything we needed - water, towels, hats, dry bags, and of course the kayaking equipment. We traveled into sea caves, along the coastline to see all the beautiful southern beaches, and got to swim and cliff jump into the crystal blue Aegean Sea! Kaillopi brought a delicious homemade lunch for us to enjoy on our journey. Her knowledge is unmatched, we learned so much, and her kindness and hospitality made the day so wonderful! We highly recommend this trip to ALL types of travelers!
Cindy_J, Jul 2022
One word AMAZING!! This tour was a perfect way to see Santorini from a different angle. Our tour guide Kalliopi was the absolute best! She is super friendly and really fun to hang out with. The lunch she packed was so delicious and fresh. The beautiful views while you relaxed and ate were perfect! Highly recommend this tour. Would do the sunset tour with her next time in Santorini!!
Leslie_P, Jul 2022
This was the most memorable experience we had during our entire trip to Greece and Santorini. Everything about it was perfect. Our host and guide, Calliope, was gracious, charming, funny, and helpful. She took us to the most beautiful locations, providing information and guidance along the way, as we explored the coastline, sea caves, and places to snorkel and swim. The views were spectacular, the lunch delicious, and the small size of our group made the day intimate. We never felt rushed. Afterwards, Calliope graciously treated us to wine and conversation at her home. I highly recommend this activity.
