our instructor Leila sorted everything for us and a glassy inlet with nobody else around was the highlight, and perfect for first-timers, and paddled maybe 8km, 10/10

our instructor Kenji sorted everything for us and a heron lifting off right beside the kayak was the highlight, and used it for our summer trip.

our instructor Leila sorted everything for us and a heron lifting off right beside the kayak was the highlight. For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. Blew our crete one out of the water, and paddled maybe 8km. Would book again no question.

our instructor Carla really knew their stuff and a heron lifting off right beside the kayak was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Spot on for a couples day out, and paddled maybe 8km, and worked great for a solo traveller like me, and barely saw another boat. Would book again no question.

our instructor Pedro was nice enough, but a heron lifting off right beside the kayak felt a bit rushed honestly, and not as good as the one we did in Athens tbh.
