The picnic provided was so lovely - hand made and put together delicately by our guide - she was honestly fantastic! So much care and love put into every part of the activity - from a welcome coffee to start to the day to an end of trip beer together to round off the day. We explored the sea caves, snorkelled, jumped off the sea cliff - a great adventurous day! Amazing value and so personal - BOOK IT! Thank you…”

She explained everything clearly and made sure we all felt safe and connected. Her energy brought the entire group together, and we were all laughing and having a great time. It was a pleasure to be led by her. The light dinner during the tour was also a fantastic experience. The restaurant staff were so kind and made my wife feel special by preparing a delicious vegan meal for her. We really appreciated their thoughtfulness. Even the transportation…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 226 reviews · 3 hours · from $135

Paddle Santorini’s south coast by sea kayak, watching Red Beach turn white, with sea cave access, snorkeling, and a beach picnic.

“Booking this activity was the best decision my friend and I made over our 10-day trip to Greece. Adonis & Ilias went above and beyond to make this adventure incredible for our group of ten, and I imagine they do this with every group they guide through the Aegean Sea. Not only did they ensure our safety with expertise and humor, but they packed away a full picnic of homemade sandwiches and honeydew that we enjoyed on White Beach after a swimming break. It was such a delight. In addition to ensuring that we all had a great experience, Adonis took a TON of pictures of all of us, which…”

This is a must do activity when I’m Santorini!!”

Small-group Santorini sea caves kayak with snorkeling and beach picnic. Hotel pickup, cliff jumping, and high-res photos included.

“This was truly one of the best experiences of our entire trip to Greece! We are not the most active of people, and we are definitely beginning kayakers, but Kaillopi (the amazing tour guide) made the day relaxed, easygoing, and never too physically strenuous! We loved getting to see the island in a different way. The driver was prompt to pick us up at the hotel, we had a lovely coffee at Kaillopi’s home, and then we set off for the day. We were given everything we needed - water, towels, hats, dry bags, and of course the kayaking equipment. We traveled into sea caves, along the coastline to see…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 90 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $145

Paddle Santorini’s caldera coast at sunset, snorkel in clear Aegean water, and finish with dinner at a seaside tavern, with pickup option.

“This might be my favorite memory I will take from Greece! Any skill level can enjoy this adventure. After waiting in a spot in oia the day before for over an hour so we could get nice sunset photos it was much better to take them from our own kayak. Beautiful sights to see from very stable kayaks. Panos was a terrific guide and such a nice human to have met! Can't recommend this adventure enough! To top it off it ended with a great farm to table experience where I was able to eat a lot of local dishes that I likely would not have ordered on my own…”

“This was an amazing experience!! Nektarios is an excellent guide and very patient and friendly. We both have had some SUP experience but not on the sea and he was great!!! The opportunity to be on a SUP and see the island and the mountain up close was so special. We did some snorkeling not a lot to see but still fun and the best was a small cove with a “cave” we got to paddle into! We had the chance to paddle around on some flat water in the cove which was great. He took lots of pics and since it was a little risky to take many of…”
