A fun-filled experience combining Paddleboarding with Snorkeling at the dream bay of Voidokilia.
Located on the southwest coast of the Peloponnese, this world-famous beach is most well-known for its unique environment and its distinct “omega” shape. It is considered to be among the most beautiful beaches worldwide. Visitors come here to swim into its calm turquoise waters, relax on the fine white sand, admiring the dunes. Our SUP & Snorkel trip here is a fun-filled 4-hour experience combining Paddleboarding with an up-close exploration of colorful intertidal marine life. It is suitable for everyone without any previous experience required.
You shall meet your guide at the north corner of the beach for a brief warm-up and introduction to Paddleboarding before taking you around the beautiful beach. You will learn the basic paddling techniques, how to turn, stop and stand up until you grow confident on your board. After the briefing, you are ready to enjoy a super fun water activity with your family or friends at this beautiful beach. The perspective from your board is unique, giving you a different perception of the water where it is likely to see the fish or if you are lucky a sea turtle swimming under your board. In addition, the view from on top of the water is equally impressive. You will paddleboard around exploring the beach or if weather permits, you can paddle towards the nearby coves with magnificent waters and why not try here your snorkeling gear and discover the richness of the underwater world. On the way back you may be able to catch a few waves and surf them if conditions are proper. You will have plenty of time to practice, swim and sunbathe and relax under the sun. Meanwhile, you will taste a delicious picnic of fresh local delicacies carefully prepared by your guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I’ve never paddleboarded before
Most of our customers are first timers. This trip is easy to catch it up and beginners can complete a decent journey on their first-time SUP trip. The Paddboards you will be using are super stable and suit all levels of paddlers, even if you have never paddled before. Our experienced guides will take you through the basic skills so you have the knowledge and adequate paddling capability to enjoy a day at the sea.
What will be the pace?
All of our trips are about journeying. We paddle at a relaxed pace; we learn on the move and enjoy the marine environment. If you are a group of experienced paddlers wanting to complete a demanding journey then a private trip would be the best option.
What should I wear?
We suggest wearing clothes that you don’t mind getting a bit wet. Swimwear is essential if you wish to swim, a quick dry t-shirt, hat, sunglasses, shorts. Running shoes and socks are not recommended as they tend to get soggy. Sea shoes, sandals or flip flops are fine. A lightweight polypropylene or fleece layer should be included in early spring and late fall tours. Dry bags are provided where you can store your phone or some other personal belongings.
Who are the people that will guide us?
Professional local kayak leaders trained and certified by the British Canoeing (BC) with a great knowledge of the area and the marine environment.
Is this SUP trip suitable for families with kids?
Absolutely Yes! A family paddleboarding tour is fun, educational, stimulating, and surprisingly relaxing for parents who wish to have their kids engaged on the experience exploring the marine environment and the outdoors in a safe and controlled way. We offer discounted rates for families with kids on some tours.
What is the minimum age for a kid to join this SUP trip?

Should I book a standard trip or a private trip?
If you are happy to paddleboard with a mixed group or don’t want to spend as much money then booking a standard group trip is the best way to go. Private trips really work best with groups of experienced paddlers or groups of friends who want to do something a bit different, would like to do a more advanced journey or just want to have privacy and enjoy the trip just themselves.
Is lunch provided?

What route will we take?

This is the safest and best way to operate SUP trips.
