We have the chance to observe the amazing geological formations and learn information, from the guides, about the geological phenomena and the interesting history of the area.

The final destination of our trip is the spectacular Blue Cave with a hidden entrance. However, until we reach our final destination, we will make many stops on remote beaches for swimming and snorkeling, and we will be given the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful seabed full of big red starfish.

On our way back, we will visit another small cave, which offers shelter to small seals during the winter months.

A wonderful experience - A wonderful experience with Yannis. We booked via Viator after seeing on trip advisor. We were staying in Nydri so this was about a 25 min drive away but nice to see another part of the island and it’s a lovely little town. Would really recommend the trip, Yannis was kind, enthusiastic & helpful. We stopped to swim and snorkel and had a delicious spaghetti lunch towards the end of the trip. Would definitely recommend

A brilliant family day out, cant recommend highly enough. - We had a brilliant family day out sea kayaking with Perilous. Yiannis was our guide and he was brilliant. It is obvious how experienced he is and how much he enjoys what he does but always keeping everyone safe whilst having lots of fun. It was a new experience for our kids (age 16, 14 and 11) and they loved it. We swam in the blue caves and visited tiny beaches only accessible from the sea. Yiannis told us interesting things about the coast line and islands and helped us find red star fish and yellow coral. He made us a yummy light lunch too (and my youngest even ate the onions in the pasta because Yiannis served it!). Thank you for a great day out, the best thing we did on Lefkada and happy memories for all of us.

Best excursion ever! - A beautiful tour of approximately 10 km, easy to do. Even if you are inexperienced. You go into the Blue Cave, swimming is possible, and then lunch is offered on a small beach, paradisiacally beautiful. There is also an opportunity to see the red starfish. Beautiful! Yiannis' beautiful stories complete the experience. At the next swimming stop there was fresh fruit and we were pointed out the yellow coral growing there! Amazing! Very worthwhile, we found Yiannis' professional guidance very pleasant! RECOMMENDED

Highly recommended - Super nice guides who creates a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Nice and funny myths and stories about lefkada and surrounding islands have been told and they are also good singers haha... A delicious home-made lunch was included with sweet melon as dessert. Have seen the beautifull nature from and in the ocean like the rough white rocks, the blue cave (where you can swim and snorkle), the clear water, red star-fishes and yellow coral. The guides give you a feeling of happiness and freedom. Definitely recommended

Don't miss it!!! - I have been kayaking since I was 9 years old and I worked as a sea kayak instructor/guide in Trieste, the Tremiti islands and Bibione, but the experience I had with Yannis and Yannis cannot be described: we sang, danced, laughed , saw wonderful places, ate.... And I thought that you only paddled in a canoe!! 🤣🤣🤣An impressive mix of technical and professional ability, safety and fun. Unique and unforgettable experience. Souvlaki! Heretismata!!!

What I thought of it - It was very beautiful and fun to do. We had been in a cave, and I swam in that too. you were given diving goggles and then you could still see underwater. very cool. We got spaghetti for lunch 🍝 and delicious watermelon 🍉 for fruit. And the leader was very nice too.

Recommended!! - Super fun kayaking experience with Yiannis as guide. He keeps a close eye on everyone while kayaking and tells fun facts about the area. For lunch and a dip in the beautiful clear water, you can moor at hidden beaches. Really recommended! Thank you Yiannis.
