De locatie

De Baai van Navarino ligt voor de stad Pylos, Messinië. Het is een natuurlijke haven waar het eiland Sfaktiria als golfbreker fungeert en de baai beschermt tegen de wind van de open Ionische Zee. De baai biedt ideale omstandigheden voor zeekajakken in de Peloponnesos, vooral voor beginners. De baai zelf is een plek van ongelooflijke natuurlijke schoonheid, met een indrukwekkend landschap, warm, kristalhelder water en gouden zandstranden waar zeeschildpadden vaak terugkeren om hun eieren te leggen. Zeekajakken in de Baai van Navarino is zonder twijfel een aanrader.

De tocht

Ontmoet je gidsen op Divari-strand, op slechts een paar kilometer afstand van het charmante dorpje Gialova. Je gids geeft je uitleg over peddeltechnieken, veiligheidsmaatregelen en uitrusting. Al snel stappen we in onze kajaks voor een zeekajaktocht rond de Baai van Navarino als nooit tevoren. In westelijke richting peddelen we naar de imposante kliffen van het eiland Sfaktiria, een plek waar veel vogelsoorten nestelen en rusten die we mogelijk kunnen zien. Onze volgende stop is de aanlegplaats van Sfaktiria. Hier stappen we uit onze kajaks, strekken we de benen en wandelen we naar het uitkijkpunt van het eiland om foto’s te maken van een idyllisch landschap en voor het vertellen van verhalen. Terug in onze kajaks varen we naar het noorden om een paar minuten de open Ionische Zee te ervaren en ook het fort van Paleokastro te bewonderen met zijn indrukwekkende muren en bastions die de noordelijke ingang van de baai bewaken.

Een paar minuten later maken we een stop bij een afgelegen strand om te zwemmen en te rusten. Hier proeven we ook onze huisgemaakte picknick van lokale lekkernijen en ontspannen we in de zon. Na deze energieke stop peddelen we terug naar het startpunt om een geweldige dag af te sluiten in de rust van de Baai van Navarino.

Veelgestelde vragen

Wat als ik nog nooit heb gekajakt?

De meeste van onze klanten doen dit voor het eerst. Zeekajakken in Navarino is makkelijk te leren en beginners kunnen al tijdens hun eerste zeekajaktocht een behoorlijke afstand afleggen. De kajaks die je gebruikt zijn superstabiel en geschikt voor alle niveaus, zelfs als je nog nooit hebt gepeddeld. Onze ervaren gidsen leren je de basisvaardigheden, zodat je over de kennis en voldoende peddelvaardigheid beschikt om te genieten van een dag op zee.

Wat is het tempo?

Al onze tochten draaien om de reis. We peddelen in een ontspannen tempo; we leren gaandeweg en genieten van de mariene omgeving. Als je een groep ervaren peddelaars bent die een veeleisende tocht wil maken, dan is een privéreis de beste optie.

Wat moet ik aan?

We raden aan om kleding te dragen die een beetje nat mag worden. Zwemkleding is essentieel als je wilt zwemmen, een sneldrogend T-shirt, een hoed/pet, zonnebril en een korte broek. Hardloopschoenen en sokken worden niet aanbevolen omdat ze de neiging hebben zompig te worden. Waterschoenen, sandalen of slippers zijn prima. Een lichtgewicht polypropyleen- of fleecelaag moet worden meegenomen voor tochten in het vroege voorjaar en het late najaar. Er zijn waterdichte tassen aanwezig waarin je je telefoon of andere persoonlijke eigendommen kunt opbergen.

Wie zijn de mensen die ons begeleiden?

Professionele lokale kajakleiders, opgeleid en gecertificeerd door British Canoeing (BC), met een grote kennis van het gebied en de mariene omgeving.

Is deze zeekajaktocht geschikt voor gezinnen met kinderen?

Absoluut! Een zeekajaktocht voor het hele gezin is leuk, leerzaam, stimulerend en verrassend ontspannend voor ouders die hun kinderen bij de ervaring willen betrekken en de mariene omgeving en de natuur op een veilige en gecontroleerde manier willen verkennen. Voor sommige tochten bieden we gereduceerde tarieven voor gezinnen met kinderen.

Wat is de minimumleeftijd voor een kind om deel te nemen aan deze zeekajaktocht?

Kinderen vanaf 5 jaar kunnen deelnemen aan een standaard groepstocht of een privétocht. We varen met kinderen altijd in een ontspannen tempo, zodat ze de kans krijgen om te leren en plezier te hebben.

Welke tocht is het meest geschikt voor mij? Hoe kies ik?

Al onze tochten zijn zo ontworpen dat ze voor iedereen geschikt zijn. Elke tocht heeft zijn eigen unieke kenmerken. De beste manier om een tocht te kiezen, is door te kijken welke tocht het dichtst bij je verblijfplaats vertrekt.

Bieden jullie privétochten aan?

Ja, we kunnen een privétour organiseren, standaard of op maat gemaakt, speciaal voor jou, je gezin of je vrienden.

Moet ik een standaardtocht of een privétocht boeken?

Als je het leuk vindt om met een gemengde groep op pad te gaan of niet zoveel geld wilt uitgeven, dan is het boeken van een standaard groepstocht de beste keuze. Privétochten werken echt het beste voor groepen ervaren avonturiers of groepen vrienden die iets anders willen doen, een meer uitdagende tocht willen maken, of gewoon privacy willen en alleen met hun eigen gezelschap van de tocht willen genieten.

Wordt er voor lunch gezorgd?

Ja, eenvoudig, voedzaam en smaakvol; het eten is een van de geneugten tijdens onze tochten. Halverwege maken we een ontspannende stop op een mooie plek om te genieten van een picknick met versgebakken brood, biologische groenten en fruit uit de tuin, zelfgemaakte olijfolie en kaas.

Welke route nemen we?

Meestal varen we een bepaalde route met als doel de mooiste plekjes van elke tocht te bezoeken; je gids kan echter een alternatieve route kiezen die past bij de omstandigheden van de dag en de ervaring en behoeften van de groep. Dit is de veiligste en beste manier om kajaktochten uit te voeren.

Waar kan ik mijn auto parkeren?

Je kunt je voertuig veilig en gratis parkeren in de buurt van ons verzamelpunt. Vraag ons gerust naar de parkeermogelijkheden voor een specifieke tocht.

Wat gebeurt er als het weer ongeschikt is?

Een tocht wordt ofwel geannuleerd en we storten je geld terug, of er wordt een andere dag gepland.

Hoe kan ik een zeekajaktocht in Navarino boeken?

Je kunt het online boekingsformulier invullen bij zeekajakken in de Baai van Navarino of voor de tocht waaraan je wilt deelnemen.

Duurzaamheid

We zetten ons in voor het bevorderen van duurzaam toerisme en het behoud van de natuurlijke schoonheid van de kustlijn voor toekomstige generaties. Onze zeekajakactiviteit belichaamt dit groene karakter op verschillende betekenisvolle manieren. Met name wordt de activiteit uitsluitend aangedreven door menselijke inspanning, waardoor er geen fossiele brandstof wordt verbruikt tijdens je verkenningstocht. Door te kiezen voor peddelkracht minimaliseren we onze ecologische voetafdruk en dragen we bij aan een schoner milieu.

Lees meer

Onze superstabiele en gemakkelijk te besturen eenpersoons- of tweepersoonskajaks zijn gemaakt van hoogwaardige, duurzame materialen die ontworpen zijn om een minimale impact op het milieu te hebben. Daarnaast leveren we herbruikbare waterdichte tassen om je spullen droog te houden, waardoor de behoefte aan plastic voor eenmalig gebruik afneemt.

We moedigen alle deelnemers ten zeerste aan om een herbruikbare waterfles mee te nemen om het gebruik van wegwerpplastic te minimaliseren. Hydratatie is cruciaal, maar het hoeft niet ten koste te gaan van de gezondheid van onze planeet. Hervulbare flessen kunnen voor vertrek worden bijgevuld om ervoor te zorgen dat je voldoende water hebt voor de reis.

Onze toewijding aan duurzaamheid gaat verder dan uitrusting en persoonlijke gewoonten. We integreren milieubeheer in onze activiteiten. Tijdens onze tochten zorgen gidsen voor ruimte en zakken voor kleine strandopruimacties, waarbij deelnemers worden aangemoedigd om te helpen de ongerepte staat van de kustlijn te behouden. We vragen iedereen om plastic of ander afval dat we onderweg tegenkomen te verzamelen, zodat we de plekken die we bezoeken beter achterlaten dan we ze vonden.

Door deze duurzame praktijken te volgen, kunnen we er samen voor zorgen dat de adembenemende schoonheid van de kustlijn ongestoord blijft en dat onze zeekajakervaringen milieuvriendelijk en verrijkend blijven voor iedereen.

We had a great time with George in Navarino Bay. Beautiful scenery, ideal weather, calm sea. A huge thank you to our guide George for his kindness, his good humor, his explanations in English and French about Greece, his motivation and his excellent picnic. Many thanks for this wonderful adventure!

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!

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.

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 did a kayak Tour in Navarino Bay with our 9 year old twins and all of us absolutely enjoyed it! Beautiful scenerie, gentle paddling, great food and nice snorkeling in the break The two guides are so friendly, funny and chilled, if we had more time here, we had done more tours with them. And they are great with kids! Thank you very much for this great memory!

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.

I really enjoyed kayaking with these guys once in the Lousio river and next time at the gulf of Navarino, sapietza island! They are young, very experienced, friendly taking all precautions to avoid any incident and they are great story tellers! Amazing experience! It is also very recommended for large groups and families with little children so that they can experience nature! Next time I ll in kalamata area, I will definitely organize something guys!

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. 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!!

This was so magical; the distance was just right. Kayaked to a Greek Island! Cannot put into words the views, Mediterranean Sea, beyond beautiful. Our guides were so very welcoming , friendly and helpful, with a side of humour too. I highly recommend; I did this as a solo excursion and I was more than comfortable. And would do it again in a heartbeat.

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.

In one word, wow. My husband and I went kayaking with George. First stop we stopped at a small uninhabited island and got explanations from George about the place. We received very lovely treatment.

Our competition guides prepared us well for kayaking and provided all the important information. We made stops in between and were told historical stories. The picnic was delicious and could recover. Even as persons who become a little seasick, you can do this without any problems. We would highly recommend this experience to other families:)

Very professional and easy going at the same time program. 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!

Great activity! George was a terrific guide. He knew so much history of the area, and did a great job introducing the novice kayakers in our group to the basics. The trip was relaxing and fun with a picnic lunch on the beach. Everything was managed very well on the booking end as well.

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. No previous paddle experience necessary.

Such a beautiful experience in Navarino bay! Kayaking in stunning nature and enjoying wonderful views from "secret" spots! Swimming was really refreshing and the traditional Greek food during the lunch break was delicious. Our guide was amazing too! He was really helpful during paddling and he told us many new things about the place that we've been. Don't miss it!

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!

Our sea kayak trip in Navarino was an amazing experience! We enjoyed paddling with our friendly and hospitable guide Roque. Also,the tour in Sfaktiria island where Roque gave us a lot of informations for the reach history of the place, was very interesting. During the picnic in the beach we had a pleasant break,tasting fresh fruits and topical products and having a friendly chat with the rest of the group. We are looking forward for our next exploring.

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.

The guide was very professional and friendly. We felt very well looked after from the beginning. He immediately exuded positive mood and it was huge fun. The four hours passed like a whirlwind. The guide told a lot of information about the region and it was very entertaining and exciting to listen to him. The canoe route is also ideal for beginners. At noon we had very delicious bread with olive oil and vegetables/fruit. We also had plenty of time to swim. A perfect day.

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!

Our guide George was fun and positive! He made the experience great, even though we could not travel to all the sights due to very windy weather. Lunch was delicious and the guides will help you learn about the area, learn some kayaking skills, and feel relaxed doing it. A perfect outing for a small group of friends, couples, or family. It was also nice that the guides snapped several photos for the group and shared them for free after so you can just focus on the experience.

We had a fantastic day on the water. It was relaxed but fun, and they took the time to show our mixed ability group how everything is done. 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. Both guides were very friendly and helpful, including returning a GoPro that my muppet son left on the kayak. Highly recommended, you’ll all have fun!

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.
