A truly unforgettable experience! - Our day with Santorini Sea Kayak was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, the service was outstanding. We had so much fun exploring the stunning coastline, all while feeling completely safe and well taken care of.
A huge shoutout to Adonis and Elliott, who were the heart and soul of the experience. Their perfect mix of humor, knowledge, and professionalism made the trip both entertaining and educational. They made everyone feel welcome, confident, and engaged throughout the entire adventure.
The picnic was another highlight — fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. It was the perfect touch to a magical day.
If you're visiting Santorini, this is an absolute must-do. Thank you, Santorini Sea Kayak, for an unforgettable experience!

A great afternoon in the sun - Amazing paddle through the clear waters around Santorini. Our guides (Adonis and Elliott) were gracious and provided insight into the local culture and history of the island. Gorgeous views of the coast line including spending some time on a secluded beach for a picnic, which included a delicious locally grown melon. Hope to come back again for more fun in the water!

Best experience at the island - The kayak tour at Mesa Pigadia was the cherry of the top the cake on my Santorini visit. The guys at the Hella Trekking have everything to make the experience unforgettable. From equipments (they even have water shoes, phone protector, towels, dry bags, everything!) to the best guides! The tour itself was fun, beautiful and very relaxing. I was worried about the length of the tour but everything is very well planned and guided so you have support all the time.
Extra kudos for Marco and Yanis they transmit a lot of knowledge and they’re always taking care of our safety.
Best experience at the island!

A Must-Do Activity in Santorini! - The private kayak trip with Adonis as our guide was the BEST and exceeded our expectations!!! Not only was it the perfect way to view the coastline and caldera, we got to pop in caves, and enjoyed a delicious little picnic in a cove (thank you Adonis). Adonis was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun - providing facts, stories, and humor in equal measure.
We also appreciated the communication and options provided to us when the wind forecast put the excursion in jeopardy. They offered every opportunity to make us happy - wait to see if the winds settled, reschedule, or a refund. We decided to wait for the winds to settle enough to paddle safely, and enjoyed both the minor swells and calm seas. We are grateful to Santorini Sea Kayak for giving us a memory to treasure for a lifetime!
P.S. Adonis: don’t take anyone past the lighthouse this season so we get the win! 😜

Great kayaking! - Adonis and Ethan were great instructors. This was our first time kayaking on a sea and they made us feel safe and organized. They planned enough pauses so the group could catch up and a take a breath before moving on to the next part. We had a great time! I would love to go again.

Wonderful kayak excursion - We had a great experience with Santorini Sea Kayak!! Elliott, our guide, was great! Both informative and kind as we navigated along the coast. We loved getting to kayak and being able to stop on the beach for a swim. The team was excellent all around, and took good care of us!

Amazing experience, great guide - we absolutely recommend - The kayaking experience was absolutely great.
We had a lot of fun paddling through the sea while viewing the beautiful nature of Santorini. We saw in incredible rock formations from super close - something you will not experience otherwise.
The lunch was simple but very nice and authentic.
Elliot was a great teacher and guide. He gave use very good instructions on how to manoeuvre the kayak and told us a lot about the island. Super nice guy who is also very experienced in kayaking - we felt super safe at every time.
Overall, we can absolutely recommend this experience - it’s a once in a lifetime thing.

Amazing kayak trip and views! - I loved this kayak trip! The sea was pretty calm that day, so the rowing was easy. Adonis was our guide and was very entertaining while keeping our safety in mind. The views were amazing, we got to go into a cave, and we saw a beautiful sunset from the Aegean Sea! Very worthwhile!
