One of the best experiences we had in Greece 🇬🇷 - We love to try new things, to have new experiences everywhere we go, but we don't like only renting or visiting, we want a full experience. This is what we had with them. We had a full experience with kayaking, laughing, singing, beautiful views, amazing places where we had the brakes, stories told very funny, a little bit of history about the places around, a delicious lunch and an special amazing guide. The guide made 80% of our experience, of our day, we couldn't imagine that experience without him. We loved everything about this tour and we totally recommend for everyone who wants to have a holiday with beautiful experiences 🥰

The best kayak tour - If you are in Lefkada, you have to try this amazing experience with the best guide Yanis. He will treat you like his kids, he will give you some interesting informations about the island, beaches...
Yanis is not only a best guide, but also an amazing singer.
It was the best end to our trip that we could choose.
PS: ''WHO LET THE DOGS OUT😅''

Just do it! - A really great experience and well worth the time and money. We swam in caves, saw bats and starfish and beautiful coral. Our guide Yannis was terrific, with interesting stories, facts and even singing! I an 61 with a little kayak experience on rivers, I found the kayaking part relatively easy, I reckon anyone with a reasonable degree of fitness would be fine and Yannis will make sure you are fine. Don't forget suncream, hat, swim gear and drinking water!

If you love adventure and laughing do this! - Highlight of our trip. Yanis was excellent, even his singing! We were very looked after. We saw the amazing hidden cave and went snorkelling. Yanis was very patient when we were terrible at turning and keeping our kayaks straight. The food / lunch was a potato salad and melon and was fine for me - and I have coeliac disease. If you want a kayak to yourself, message them in advance. If you have an allergy, I recommend either bringing your own food or telling them beforehand. Remember to take lots of drinking water! We got back around 3 pm. Take cash if you want to tip at the end - it was very reasonably priced for what we got! It was the last trip of Yanis season. 10/10 If you're up for an adventure, go on this inspirational experience. Thanks, Yanis!

Beautiful kayak tour - Amazing kayak route through the lefkada bay, with it's beautiful landscape and caves. Lots of spots to snorkel or take a dive, and thanks to our lovely guide Yiannis we got lots of historical, geographical and wildlife information! Definitely recommend it for anyone, whether you're an avid kayaker or just someone looking for a slow and relaxed afternoon.

Great Kayak Experience - Yiannis & Yiannis (one chief chef & the other chief singer!) took us a on a great trip to the hidden blue cave and a few secluded beaches; all in all a lovely way to spend a few hours out on the water. 🙂
Everything was clearly explained about the kayaks (first experience of feet operated rudder…) before we set off from Mikros Gialos along the coast, stopping first at the hidden blue cave for a refreshing swim and for some a leap into the water too!
The next stop gave us the chance to see starfish up close and was impressed to see the care that was taken in handling these delicate creatures
Further stops for more swimming and a refreshing lunch made for a great day, even more enjoyable by the fun and energy provided by our hosts.
Highly recommend!

Extremely happy with this blue cave experience - I honestly have to say, this was such an amazing experience. Both Yannis' were so welcoming, friendly, fun and entertaining. Our guide Yannis number 2 made the experience with his energy and knowledge. We felt incredibly safe and saw the most beautiful beaches. The blue caves were breathtaking and we were lucky to see a starfish that Yannis kindly found for us to see.
We had plenty of opportunity to swim and take it all in. He was even happy to take pictures and serenade us 🤣
Who let the dogs out? 🤣🤣
I would recommend it to anybody to do this trip. It made our holiday and we met some great people on the day too as Yannis was great at bringing everyone together.
Thank you so much to both of you for this absolutely amazing experience. X
