Great kayaking adventure - What a fantasticly friendly and knowledgeable guide Harris is! I upgraded to a ‘caves’ kayak trip past beautiful coastline, with fascinating caves, culminating in a stop at the mouth of the Samaría gorge. Just beautiful! And in great company who made me feel so welcome as a sole traveller. What an adventure! High seas and some great kayaking. Can’t wait for the next time I return to Crete for more. A definite 5 stars 😊

An unforgettable trip! - We had an amazing morning with Haris! I booked this activite as an surprise for my partner and couldn’t have imagined anything better. The guide Haris was such a warm-hearted, genuine and funny person. We saw some unforgettable views and learned so much about Chania and Crete. Also the pictures and videos that the guide takes during the trip are so nice! Please, go and experience this yourself, we warmly recommend it to everyone visiting Hania! :)

An amazing data kayaking Rodopou Peninsula with Haris. - My husband and I spent our anniversary wit Haris kayaking the Rodopou Peninsula East. Haris is a fun-loving guide who clearly loves what he does. He took us to places we never could have found on our own, told us about the area, and made us feel welcome. The Rodopou Peninsula is amazing. Beachs you can only get to by water, ancient ruins, and - luck for us - a visit from a sea turtle. Haris is great, and we will definitely kayak with him again when we are back in Chenya!!

Crystal green seas - We had a wonderful day with Haris and Katarina. The trip was really beautiful and it was special to swim on the island where we ate lunch - lots of cool fish! Convenient to Chania Old Town.

Excellent kayak guide - Haris took my wife and me, experienced sea-kayakers from the northeastern U.S., on a wonderful trip along Rodopos, one of the western peninsulas of Crete. He worked with us by email in the weeks before to find out our skill level, interests, schedule, and time; he paid special attention to the weaterh; and on the day he was prompt picking us up and gave us the whole afternoon to kayak along the huge walls of the Rodopos peninsula. The equipment he provided was great - 17' kayaks and Werner paddles. He was patient and good-humored and full of stories and advice about the area -- it was really a pleasure to kayak with him, at our own pace! I found his beautiful web-page only by chance (googling Kayak trips/Chania or something, rather than via TripADvisor), and I do hope that others discover Haris and his EXCELLENT guided kayak tours!
