Το μέρος

Μπροστά από τη γραφική πόλη της Πύλου απλώνεται ο όρμος του Ναυαρίνου, ένα φυσικό λιμάνι όπου το νησί της Σφακτηρίας στέκεται μπροστά του ως κυματοθραύστης, προστατεύοντας τον όρμο από τους ανέμους του ανοικτού Ιονίου. Τα ήρεμα νερά εδώ προσφέρουν ιδανικές συνθήκες για καγιάκ θαλάσσης, οπότε το θαλάσσιο καγιάκ στον Κόλπο του Ναυαρίνου αποτελεί ιδανική δραστηριότητα ακόμη και για αρχάριους. Ο φιλόξενος κόλπος είναι ένας τόπος απίστευτης φυσικής ομορφιάς, με εντυπωσιακό τοπίο, ζεστά, κρυστάλλινα νερά και χρυσαφένιες αμμουδιές όπου οι θαλάσσιες χελώνες συχνά επιστρέφουν για να γεννήσουν. Δύο μεσαιωνικά κάστρα φρουρούν τον κόλπο, υπενθυμίζοντας τη διάσημη ναυμαχία του Ναυαρίνου, ένα από τα σημαντικότερα γεγονότα της σύγχρονης ελληνικής ιστορίας.

Η δραστηριότητα

Το ταξίδι μας ξεκινά από την παραλία του Διβαρίου, λίγα χιλιόμετρα έξω από τη Γιάλοβα. Ο οδηγός σας θα σας ενημερώσει για τις τεχνικές κωπηλασίας, τα μέτρα ασφαλείας και τον εξοπλισμό. Σύντομα θα αναχωρήσουμε για ένα αξέχαστο ταξίδι γύρω από τον πανέμορφο όρμο. Ξεκινάμε κωπηλατώντας με θέα την πόλη της Πύλου και το φρούριο του Νιόκαστρου. Κατευθυνόμαστε προς την επιβλητική νησίδα «φανάρι» ή «Τσιχλί-Μπαμπά» που βρίσκεται στη νότια πλευρά του όρμου όπου θα επισκεφθούμε την εντυπωσιακή πέτρινη αψίδα. Αν ο καιρός το επιτρέπει, μπορούμε να κωπηλατήσουμε γύρω του και να επισκεφτούμε μερικά από τα θαλάσσια σπήλαιά του. Η επόμενη στάση μας είναι το ακατοίκητο νησί της Σφακτηρίας. Εδώ, θα βγούμε για λίγο από τα καγιάκ μας και θα περπατήσουμε σε ένα σημείο με εκπληκτική θέα για να φωτογραφίσουμε ένα ειδυλλιακό τοπίο που σχηματίζει ο πανέμορφος όρμος.

Σύντομα θα κάνουμε μια στάση σε μια ερημική παραλία για κολύμπι και εξερεύνηση με μάσκα και αναπνευστήρα και γιατί όχι κάποιες βουτιές από τα βράχια για όσους αισθάνονται πιο περιπετειώδεις. Εδώ θα απολαύσουμε και ένα σπιτικό πικνίκ με τοπικά προϊόντα και θα χαλαρώσουμε κάτω από τον ήλιο. Στην συνέχεια θα κωπηλατήσουμε πίσω προς το σημείο εκκίνησης ώστε να ολοκληρώσουμε το θαλάσσιο ταξίδι στον όρμο του Ναυαρίνου.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις

Χρειάζομαι προηγούμενη εμπειρία για το Καγιάκ στο Ναυαρίνο;

Όχι, πολλοί από τους πελάτες μας είναι “πρωτάρηδες”. Αυτό το ταξίδι είναι εύκολο σε βαθμό δυσκολίας, κατάλληλο και για αρχάριους. Τα καγιάκ που θα χρησιμοποιούμε είναι πολύ σταθερά και αξιόπλοα. Οι έμπειροι οδηγοί μας θα σας μάθουν στις βασικές δεξιότητες, ώστε να αποκτήσετε επαρκή κωπηλατική ικανότητα και να απολαύσετε μια μέρα στη θάλασσα.

Ποιος θα είναι ο κωπηλατικός ρυθμός;

Σε όλα μας τα ταξίδια κωπηλατούμε με χαλαρό ρυθμό και μαθαίνουμε να απολαμβάνουμε το θαλάσσιο περιβάλλον. Εάν ωστόσο είστε μια ομάδα έμπειρων που θέλουν να ολοκληρώσουν ένα απαιτητικό ταξίδι τότε ένα ιδιωτικό-πριβέ ταξίδι θα είναι η καλύτερη επιλογή.

Τι να φορέσω;

Σας προτείνουμε να φοράτε ρούχα που δεν σας πειράζει να βραχούν. Το μαγιό είναι απαραίτητο αν θέλετε να κολυμπήσετε, ένα μπλουζάκι, καπέλο, γυαλιά ηλίου και σορτς είναι επίσης απαραίτητα. Τα αθλητικά παπούτσια και οι κάλτσες δεν συνιστώνται. Κατάλληλα είναι τα παπούτσια θαλάσσης, σανδάλια ή σαγιονάρες. Ένα ελαφρύ αντιανεμικό ή φλις ίσως είναι απαραίτητο να έχετε μαζί σας νωρίς την άνοιξη και προς το τέλος του φθινοπώρου. Στους στεγανούς σάκους που σας δώσουμε μπορείτε να αποθηκεύσετε το τηλέφωνό σας ή κάποια άλλα προσωπικά αντικείμενα.

Ποιοι είναι οι άνθρωποι που θα μας συνοδεύσουν;

Επαγγελματίες ντόπιοι οδηγοί καγιάκ εκπαιδευμένοι και πιστοποιημένοι από την British Canoeing (BC) με μεγάλη γνώση της περιοχής και του θαλάσσιου περιβάλλοντος.

Είναι αυτό το ταξίδι με καγιάκ κατάλληλο για οικογένειες με παιδιά;

Απολύτως ναι! Μια οικογενειακή εξόρμηση με καγιάκ θαλάσσης είναι διασκεδαστική, εκπαιδευτική και εκπληκτικά ιδανική δραστηριότητα για τους γονείς που επιθυμούν τα παιδιά τους να ασχοληθούν με μια εμπειρία γύρω από το θαλάσσιο περιβάλλον με ασφαλή και ελεγχόμενο τρόπο. Προσφέρουμε μειωμένες τιμές για οικογένειες με παιδιά σε ορισμένες εκδρομές.

Ποια είναι η ελάχιστη ηλικία για ένα παιδί να συμμετάσχει σε ταξίδι με καγιάκ;

Παιδιά από 5 ετών μπορούν να συμμετάσχουν σε ένα τυπικό ταξίδι με μικτή ομάδα. Όταν κωπηλατούμε με παιδιά διατηρούμε ένα χαλαρό ρυθμό που τους δίνει την ευκαιρία να μάθουν και να διασκεδάσουν.

Τι επίπεδο φυσικής κατάστασης πρέπει να έχω για να λάβω μέρος;

Το θαλάσσιο καγιάκ είναι παρόμοιο σε ένταση με το περπάτημα. Δεν χρειάζεται να είναι κάποιος δυνατός ή αθλητικός για να συμμετάσχει. Λάβετε υπόψη ότι το πιο σημαντικό πράγμα είναι να διασκεδάσετε και να απολαύσετε το ταξίδι και όχι να εξαντληθείτε.

Ποιο είναι το μέγεθος μιας ομάδας;

Από 2 συμμετέχοντες έως και 16 άτομα στις τυπικές ομαδικές εκδρομές μας. Οι περισσότερες από τις ομάδες μας αποτελούνται από ζευγάρια, οικογένειες και μεμονωμένους. Μπορούμε επίσης να εξυπηρετήσουμε μικρότερες ομάδες σε ιδιωτικά – πριβέ ταξίδια.

Ποιο είναι το ταξίδι που ταιριάζει καλύτερα, πώς επιλέγω;

Όλα τα ταξίδια μας είναι σχεδιασμένα για να είναι κατάλληλα για όλους. Το καθένα έχει τα δικά του μοναδικά χαρακτηριστικά. Ο καλύτερος τρόπος για να επιλέξετε ένα ταξίδι μεταξύ άλλων είναι να ελέγξετε αν το σημείο αναχώρησης είναι κοντά στο σημείο διαμονής σας.

Προσφέρετε πριβέ – ιδιωτικά ταξίδια;

Ναι, μπορούμε να οργανώσουμε ένα πριβέ ταξίδι, εξατομικευμένο, μόνο για εσάς, την οικογένειά σας ή τους φίλους σας.

Πώς επιλέγουμε τη διαδρομή που θα πάρουμε;

Συνήθως πραγματοποιούμε τα κωπηλατικά μας προγράμματα σε μια συγκεκριμένη διαδρομή με στόχο να επισκεφτούμε τα πιο όμορφα σημεία που κάθε πρόγραμμα προσφέρει. Ο έμπειρος οδηγός σας μπορεί να επιλέξει μια εναλλακτική διαδρομή που ταιριάζει καλύτερα στις συνθήκες της ημέρας, την εμπειρία και τις ανάγκες της ομάδας.

Πώς να επιλέξω αν θα κλείσω ένα πριβέ ή ένα κανονικό ταξίδι;

Εάν δεν σας προβληματίζει να κάνετε ένα ταξίδι με μια μικτή ομάδα ή δεν θέλετε να ξοδέψετε περισσότερα χρήματα ο καλύτερος τρόπος είναι να κάνετε κράτηση σε ένα κανονικό πρόγραμμα με μια ομάδα. Τα πριβέ προγράμματα λειτουργούν καλύτερα με ομάδες έμπειρων κωπηλατών ή ομάδες φίλων που θέλουν να κάνουν κάτι διαφορετικό, που θα ήθελαν να κάνουν ένα πρόγραμμα με περισσότερες παροχές ή που απλά θέλουν να απολαύσουν το πρόγραμμα εντελώς μόνοι τους.

Παρέχεται γεύμα σε κάθε ταξίδι με καγιάκ;

Ναι, απλό, θρεπτικό και γευστικό, το φαγητό είναι μία από τις απολαύσεις κατά τη διάρκεια των εκδρομών μας. Στα μισά του δρόμου κάνουμε μια στάση σε ένα όμορφο μέρος για να δοκιμάσουμε ένα σπιτικό πικνίκ με φρεσκοψημένο ψωμί, βιολογικά φρούτα και λαχανικά, ντόπιο λάδι και τυρί.

Είμαι ασφαλισμένος;

Οι υπαίθριες δραστηριότητες δεν μπορούν να ασφαλιστούν. Θα πρέπει να βρείτε μια ταξιδιωτική ασφάλιση κατάλληλη για υπαίθριες δραστηριότητες. Οι οδηγοί μας είναι εκπαιδευμένοι για να δώσουν πρώτες βοήθειες.

Πού σταθμεύω το αυτοκίνητό μου;

Μπορείτε να σταθμεύσετε το όχημά σας με ασφάλεια και δωρεάν κοντά στο σημείο συνάντησής μας. Μη διστάσετε να μας ρωτήσετε σχετικά με τις συνθήκες στάθμευσης για ένα συγκεκριμένο ταξίδι.

Τι συμβαίνει εάν ο καιρός είναι ακατάλληλος;

Ένα ταξίδι με καγιάκ είτε ακυρώνεται και σας επιστρέφουμε τα χρήματά σας, είτε μεταφέρεται για μια άλλη μέρα.

Πώς μπορώ να κλείσω ένα ταξίδι με καγιάκ θαλάσσης;

Μπορείτε να συμπληρώσετε την ηλεκτρονική φόρμα κράτησης για το Καγιάκ στο Ναυαρίνο ή το ταξίδι που σας ενδιαφέρει να συμμετάσχετε.

Αειφορία

Είμαστε αφοσιωμένοι στην προώθηση του βιώσιμου τουρισμού και στη διατήρηση της φυσικής ομορφιάς της ακτογραμμής για τις μελλοντικές γενιές. Η δραστηριότητα του θαλάσσιου καγιάκ ενσαρκώνει αυτόν τον πράσινο χαρακτήρα με διάφορους ουσιαστικούς τρόπους. Συγκεκριμένα, η δραστηριότητα βασίζεται αποκλειστικά στη δύναμη του ανθρώπου, διασφαλίζοντας ότι δεν καταναλώνεται ορυκτό καύσιμο κατά την εξερεύνηση. Επιλέγοντας τη δύναμη του κουπιού, ελαχιστοποιούμε το ανθρακικό μας αποτύπωμα και συμβάλλουμε σε ένα καθαρότερο περιβάλλον.

Τα εξαιρετικά σταθερά και εύκολα στη χρήση μονά ή διπλά καγιάκ μας είναι κατασκευασμένα από υψηλής ποιότητας, ανθεκτικά υλικά, σχεδιασμένα ώστε να έχουν ελάχιστη επίδραση στο περιβάλλον. Επιπλέον, παρέχουμε επαναχρησιμοποιούμενες αδιάβροχες τσάντες για την προστασία των προσωπικών σας αντικειμένων, μειώνοντας την ανάγκη για πλαστικά μίας χρήσης.

Προτρέπουμε θερμά όλους τους συμμετέχοντες να φέρουν ένα επαναχρησιμοποιούμενο μπουκάλι νερού, ώστε να μειωθεί η χρήση πλαστικών μιας χρήσης. Η ενυδάτωση είναι απαραίτητη, αλλά δεν χρειάζεται να γίνεται εις βάρος της υγείας του πλανήτη μας. Τα επαναγεμιζόμενα μπουκάλια μπορούν να γεμιστούν πριν την αναχώρηση, ώστε να έχετε αρκετό νερό για τη διαδρομή.

Η δέσμευσή μας για βιωσιμότητα εκτείνεται πέρα από τον εξοπλισμό και τις προσωπικές συνήθειες. Ενσωματώνουμε την περιβαλλοντική υπευθυνότητα στις δραστηριότητές μας. Κατά τη διάρκεια των εκδρομών μας, οι οδηγοί μας θα διαθέτουν χώρο και σακούλες για μικρούς καθαρισμούς παραλιών, ενθαρρύνοντας τους συμμετέχοντες να συμβάλλουν στη διατήρηση της παρθένας κατάστασης της ακτογραμμής. Ζητάμε από όλους να συλλέγουν οποιοδήποτε πλαστικό ή άλλα απορρίμματα συναντούν στη διαδρομή τους, διασφαλίζοντας ότι αφήνουμε τα μέρη που επισκεπτόμαστε σε καλύτερη κατάσταση από αυτή που τα βρήκαμε.

Ακολουθώντας αυτές τις βιώσιμες πρακτικές, μπορούμε όλοι μαζί να διασφαλίσουμε ότι η απαράμιλλη ομορφιά της ακτογραμμής θα παραμείνει ανέγγιχτη και ότι οι εμπειρίες μας στο θαλάσσιο καγιάκ θα συνεχίσουν να είναι φιλικές προς το περιβάλλον και εμπλουτιστικές για όλους.

We had an amazing kayaking trip that included refreshments along the way, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It truly added something special to our vacation in Greece and became one of the highlights of our stay. The scenery was beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and everything was well organized. Our kids, aged 14 and 17, absolutely loved it as well—they were just as excited as we were. Highly recommended!

What an unforgettable experience! For my birthday we decided to go sea kayaking in the beautiful Navarino Bay, and it was really super nice to do this. The view over the crystal clear water, the tranquility of the surroundings and the feeling of freedom on the water it all added up. What made it extra special was that we had a private guide. He was incredibly friendly, and knew a lot to tell us about the area. As a result, it felt not only like a sporting activity, but also like a cultural exploration. After kayaking we enjoyed a delicious lunch that the guide had brought with him. A perfect break after paddling. Thanks Panos!

The experience was more better than we expected! Is was absolutely fantastic and the best thing that we did with my girlfriend during 15 days holidays in Peloponnisos! Fotis was a great teacher and fantastic company for us! Except the sport experience which we enjoyed, he explained us about the history, he guide us to a fantastic beach for swimming and the picnik was a real greek healthy one on time! Thank you so much!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

Wow what an amazing day we had. We're a family of 3 with an 11 year old, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our adventure sea kayaking. Both George and Christina had a real passion for the local area and were very knowledgeable, giving a great insight to the history of the area. This was one of the highlights of our holiday and the memories will last. We will be back to take on a couple more trips when we come back. Thank-you

This was a highlight of our recent week in Navarino Bay and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a fun adventure and an authentic experience of Greece. Photis, our guide, was a mine of information about the local area, customs, and history and he really brought these aspects alive for us. He prepared a wonderful picnic of Greek 'fast food', including olives, tomatoes and delicious home made olive oil from his farm. His whole approach was knowledgeable and accessible. We paddled from Golden Beach to the island of Sphacteria and saw the unforgettable Russian monuments created after the famous naval battle in the bay. There was also time for a swim to cool down. The paddling is a good workout, but doesn't require any special skill or fitness level. Single and double kyaks are available. Overall, it was a great experience!

We had a great day out in the water, kayaking at Navarino Bay, with explore Messinia's professional guides. It was a lovely experience for all of us - a large group with children aged 6-13. The guides were very patient with the kids, taught them (and us) how to handle the kayak safely, played games with them, and prepared a great picnic for all of us out on the beach. We had great fun and learned a lot about the area and it's history. The gear was top quality as well. We definitely recommend this as a family activity.

Super excursion ! Nous étions en famille : 2 adultes et 2 enfants (9 et 7 ans) répartis dans 2 kayaks. Cela nous a permis de découvrir la Navarino Bay autrement : elle est magnifique, les souvenirs sont inoubliables ! Nous avons adoré tous les 4. George a été un guide au top : très sympa, dynamique et intéressant. Merci beaucoup ! Nous recommandons +++

We had such a fabulous time on the sea kayak experience in Navarino Bay!! We would 100% do this again if we return to the area. We met our guides Roque and Fotis in the morning where they told us some helpful tips on kayaking techniques. There were two other people on the kayak trip. The guides made it LOTS of fun and had plenty of good stories and history. High quality kayaks. We had a chance to take a swim before our lunch on the beach which was delicious. They took photos of the day and emailed them to us so we have memories of the trip. Do not hesitate to book this experience!!

Wir haben in der Nebensaison eine tolle "Private Tour" mit dem 2er Kayak in der Navarino Bucht gemacht. Von der Einweisung in die Basics der Kayak-Technik über Erzählungen zur Geschichte der Bucht bis zum griechischen Picknick und den tollen Fotos, die unser Guide George von unserer Tour gemacht hat, hat einfach alles gepasst. Nach unserem Start im Hafen von Pylos sind wir auf dem flachen Wasser an den Ausgang der Bucht gepaddelt und haben den malerischen Steibogen aus der Nähe betrachtet. Danach sind wir in die sogenannte Drachenhöhle gepaddelt, hier war der Wellengang außerhalb der Bucht schon ganz deutlich zu spüren. Dank George haben wir uns aber immer auf der sicheren Seite gefühlt. Bei unserem anschließenden griechischen Picknick an einem winzigen Sandstrand auf der Insel Sfaktiria hatten wir die Gelegenheit zu schnorcheln genutzt und konnten hierbei eine große Meeresschildkröte Unterwasser beobachten, ein fantastisches Erlebnis! Nach der leckeren Stärkung ging es weiter zu einer weiteren Unterwasserhöhle, wo wir auf drei ordentlich planschende Seehunde gestossen sind, die unsere Kayaks dann noch ein kurzes Stück begleitet haben. Wer sich also auch für die tierischen Bewohner der Bucht interessiert ist bei dieser Tour goldrichtig. Rundum eine äußerst empfehlenswerte Tour mit einem sehr netten Guide, perfekter Organisation und -mit etwas Glück- tollen Tierbeobachtungen, die ihr Geld (190 Euro für 2 Personen, Dauer: 4,5 Stunden) auf jeden Fall wert ist!

I had a very professional and easy going at the same time program with Explore Messinia at Navarino Bay. Amazing locations (exotic waters and sand beaches) which are elevated by the kayaking approach, of this 2 day program. All is taken care of ( food and drinks, camping gear) with care and of high quality, plus the guides are so fun, knowledgeable and with positive vibes. Physically demanding but definitely worth the effort!

We went for the Sea kayaking tour in Navarino Bay with George and I have to say that it was a perfect day for the full family. George is a great guide, with the best balance between historical and sea kayaking knowledge. The day starts with a tutorial. We're a family of 6, with 4 kids aged 9 to 17. We had no previous kayak experience but George made this all very easy. We stopped snorkeling, jumping, diving, and had a lovely picnic in a secluded beach, like the most beautiful swimming pool ever! The kids were enchanted and honestly, as the kayaks are of great quality, the paddling was not painfully at all. I'm very happy to write these few lines as George and his teammates do a great job and really care about the success of your day.

We had a fantastic day exploring the beautiful Navarino Bay with George our excellent guide. The instruction at the start was very clear and concise and the distances we covered perfect for our level of fitness (we are not so young any more). We visited the island and sea cave, sampled the bigger waves beyond the harbour mouith which was exciting. We also stopped at a lovely beach for a swim and a simple yet delicious picnic. George is extremely knowledgeable of the area and taught us about the extensive history of the place from spartans through to naval battles of the 19th century which changed the course of Greek history. I thoroughly recomend this trip.

Lovely trip from our resort to Navarino Bay. Great equipment, well briefed pre excursion, paddled to an historic site where we went ashore for a visit to a memorial site and went into a Russian church. Then paddled to see an old Greek castle before stopping for a swim and lunch, which was simple and delicious. Roque and Trifonas were excellent, we would highly recommend this trip.

Our family had a fantastic day of sea kayaking on the stunning Navarino bay. George and Agrivi were great instructors and a lot of fun. The kayaks are modern and have a rudder with foot steering which made life easier to navigate the boat. The trip culminated on the beach with a light lunch of cheese, vegetables, bread and olive oil. Highly recommend sea kayaking in this lovely part of Greece with George and his crew.

Great, friendly service from the start. I have a 9yr old daughter who kayaks regularly at home, and thought this would be fun for her. Trifonas was super helpful in suggesting this trip and email communication was exceptionally helpful. On the day, Roque and Christos couldn't have done any more for us. Friendly, very informative about the history and geography of the area, and a great picnic. Daughter ended up paddling tandem with me since the adult sized sea kayaks were a bit big for her, plus it was a bit windy. She absolutely loved it though, especially chatting about her kayaking with Roque. Highly recommended trip!

We had an amazing day, our guide George was super friendly and fun and had so much knowledge about Kalamata and Greece’s history. We started off kayaking to a nearby island which is where we got to lean a lot about the area’s history as well as see some important local tributes. We then continued all through the bay and slightly out into the open see to get a feel for the waves there and then back for lunch were we had a great Greek lunch and had some time to swim before finishing our final stretch of kayaking before ending for the day. It was truly the highlight of our holiday and George made it a true fun experience for our entire group. Definitely recommend.

We did the kayaking from Akrogiali Beach on the eastern side of Kalamata bay. It was such a fun trip beginning with good instruction delivered by our endearing guide Foivis & his able assistant. Foivis was an absolute joy keeping us entertained whilst imparting his passion for the sea & the beautiful surroundings. His enthusiasm was infectious & knowledge of his country’s history, culture, flora, fauna & food, impressive. An intelligent, genial, warm hearted man, loving his job & the surroundings. The kayaking was great fun without being over strenuous. The sea & scenery were both beautiful & we were informed of interesting information about area as we paddled. We stopped twice at secluded beaches for swims & had basic but hearty lunch which set us up nicely for the paddle back. We can heartily recommend this trip which was informative, but more importantly, great fun.

This is the third time we (a group of 4 adults and 3 teenagers) do sea kayaking with ExploreMessinia, and in particular with Giorgos as our guide, and a new location for us (Methoni, after Kardamyli and Pylos). Amazing as always. Great selection of location (combining natural beauty and history), friendly/hospitable/entertaining guide who truly loves what he does and enjoys hosting people, professional/responsible/experienced. Authentic local snack during break. I can't recommend it any higher to anyone (visitor or local!) who wants to (re)discover the best of what Messinia has to offer. We will be back for more.

We were a group of 9 (two families). Fotis and Roque were easygoing and joyful guides, great at all aspects of this excursion - instructing us on kayaking, making us feel safe, taking photos to capture the experience, and sharing the fascinating history of Navarino Bay. It was fun to stop at Sphaktiria Island and see a little Russian shrine there, then stop for a beautiful swimming spot and some lunch. The guides are historians, kayaking experts and even foodies who love to share their families' olive oil, olives and delicacies. Such a fun experience during our stay in Messinia!

I think exactly what you do depends on the weather and the group, but we paddled across to Sphacteria, where Giorgos gave us a quick history lesson and showed us a beautiful little wooden Russian church. We then paddled to a turquoise beach and had a very memorable Greek picnic, then paddled back.

We were genuinely impressed by the beautiful stories he shared about the history, he brought everything to life. On top of that, he showed us hidden gems along the stunning coastline of Kardamyli that we would never have discovered on our own. We enjoyed every single moment of this trip.
