Amazing Experience - We had an absolutely amazing experience with Explore Messinia! It was our first time trying kayaking and, to be honest, we weren’t sure if we would enjoy it — but it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The whole activity is totally value for money: we took the time to learn the basics, our guide shared fascinating details about the history and places around us, we enjoyed a lovely picnic, and we discovered some truly beautiful beaches along the way. From the very beginning, our trainer made us feel completely comfortable and safe, which allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment. This is a highly recommended experience, and if we ever find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely book another adventure with them!

Hugely recommended, great way to see the bay - We had a truly lovely time on this trip. Fotios was very capable and experienced with the kayaks, one of the best safety and technique briefings I've had. He also knew a huge amount about the local area and history and his enthusiasm shone through to help make this a day to remember. The scenery is truly amazing and paddling across the bay under your own steam is pretty special.

Great experience in a beautiful sea! - Fotios and Pavlos were two amazing ambassadors of Greek beauty and history. They guided us through a wonderful sea with patience and competence. We really enjoyed sharing a good picnic meal, talking about our experiences in our countries. Oh, and their advice on local food was great too!

Unforgettable Kayak Trip – Highly Recommended! - We had such a great time on our kayak trip! The experience was well-organized, fun, and truly memorable. Fotios, our guide, shared so many fascinating stories about the area’s history — full of detail, but told in such an easygoing and engaging way that even someone like me, who doesn’t usually enjoy history, was completely drawn in. What made it even more special was how thoughtful Fotios was with the kids. On the way back, he let them help navigate the kayak, which meant the world to them and made the whole trip even more exciting. If you're thinking about trying this experience, I highly recommend this group. It was the perfect mix of nature, storytelling, and fun for all ages!

Enjoying paradise in Greece - We had an excellent time exploring Navarino Bay with Fotis and learning about the history of the area. The kayaking was relatively easy as we had minimal winds and currents with clear instructions from our guide. He was great fun, knowledgeable and kind which added to our enjoyment of the day. The picnic was delicious free our paddling and gave us an opportunity to connect as a group. We would highly recommend if to anyone and viewed it as a very special day in an unspoilt and special area of the world.

Unforgettable kayaking experience in Navarino Bay - We had a wonderful experience kayaking in the beautiful Bay of Navarino. The scenery is breathtaking: crystal clear waters, unspoilt nature and a calm that makes it all the more special. Paddling along the coast we discovered spectacular views, small caves and hidden beaches, far from the crowds. The activity was perfectly organized: the equipment was in excellent condition and the guide experienced, attentive and passionate. Along the way he told us historical and natural curiosities about the area, making the hike even more interesting. Suitable for everyone, even those who do not have great experience with kayaking. A perfect way to discover the authentic beauty of this corner of Greece. Highly recommended!
