Sea Kayak Kalamata

So we were looking for kayaking around Kalamata and found these guys. We booked a private tour, and it was great! Stelios - really fun and knowledgeable guide. We had wonderful time!

What a fabulous experience! George our tour guide was exceptional, we had a great day, learned a lot of Kalamata, he provided recommendations for the remainder of our trip and taught us how to improve our kayaking skills. He even took photos of our trip. I recommend George and his company whole heartedly. We will be back! Thank you!

My boyfriend and I booked a kayaking trip around Kalamata and the experience exceeded our expectations. Surrounded by beautiful scenic views around the coast and extremely welcoming guides, we explored the caves and took a break to have some lovely handmade kalamata lunch (all included) on a remote part of the beach, followed by a dip in the sea. The kayaking was a unique and fun method of visiting exclusive parts of the coast and led to some fantastic holiday photos. This trip was worth every penny and made the holiday, and I would like to thank Trifonas for his hospitality and overall helpfulness throughout our holiday. I could not recommend this Kalamata kayaking trip enough.

It was very exciting, fun, and interesting! Thanks to the team for organizing and capturing us in this exciting process. Now we’ll have memories for years to come ❤️ It was very exciting, fun and interesting! Thank you guys for organizing and for filming us in this fascinating process )) now there will be memories for many years ❤️

Great experience Beautiful and relaxing activity in the sea, nice views of the area George and Fotis Know the area very good and we had great time with them We loved the picnic lunch they made us with fresh ingredients from Kalamata Thx guys

Brilliant day sea kayaking. I had never done this before. I was part of a small group booked on this. Our guide was amazing and fun. He was very experienced, very safety conscious and got us all kitted comfortably in life jackets that fitted before we started. He was entertaining and knowledgeable, supported us all and took great photos so we didn't need to! A super experience and highly recommended.

We had the most amazing day! Our guide was so friendly and shared so many facts and stories about the city and culture. Can’t beat the beautiful views! Definitely recommend for those wanting to see the sights in an unconventional way. We loved it!

Cool kayak tour with the family! After a short technical introduction we started with good equipment along the coast. Tempo, info and breaks including picnic also suitable for the kids. Our guide Roque had very good background information on kayaking, but also on history, landscape, deep sea diving etc. A very successful trip!

Honestly, this was the best day! I was fairly nervous beforehand but Rock our instructor was incredible and gave very practical and easy tips for how to make the paddle boarding easier and more enjoyable. His local knowledge was extensive and the picnic lunch was perfect. He even gave us tips of some great restaurants in the area and more suggestions of places to explore. This area of Greece is blessed with beautiful scenery, quiet, calm beaches and crystal clearwater our adventure out on the surf was one of the highlights of our holiday. And I would certainly recommend this to anyone.

What an amazing trip we had. the guides were informative, and considerate for us oldies. 3 ladies over 60. the water in the morning was so calm, but gave us excitement on the return with a bit more swell.

We wanted to take a break from lounging around all day and find an adventure! All four of us (including two kids, age 9 and 7) had a great time - this was a fun way to experience the sea and sun that got us moving a bit too. We loved the delicious picnic on a shady spot on the beach where the kids could snorkel around a bit. George, our amazing guide, was so enthusiastic and great with the kids. Highly recommend!

We cannot recommend George and Explore Messinia enough! So pleased we booked the trip, as it was so much fun and no doubt one of the highlights from our trip to the Peloponnese. George is a fantastic guide and instructor, and extremely knowledgeable not only about Kayaking, but Greek history, local nature and the whole region. The picnic provided was perfect and we the equipment was all in great condition. 10/10 rating for us! Thanks George.

We loved the activity, which is both sporty, but we took breaks when we wanted to. Roque let us go at our own pace, it was great. I highly recommend this activity! Thanks again to Roque, the guide for his kindness and advice! The views were amazing!!

Brilliant experience! George and Helen were fantastic guides and made the experience fun from start to finish. Thanks guys!

The guides had great energy and great knowledge and the excursion was at a good challenge level with spectacular scenery.

Amazing experience!! A must activity in the Peloponnese! Incredibly scenic views, very nice but not too intense workout. The guides are highly skilled, very friendly and very familiar with the area. Definitely recommend 20/10!!

The landscape was amazing, and the experience very beautiful. Never had we expected we'd swim in a cave where the light would be coming in underwater!

Really great experience with a great tour guide who was motivated, had a lot to tell us about the region and took great pictures! Would definitely recommend for a fun experience with family or friends.

We had a very exciting day with Faivos Kayaking in Kardamyli! Swimming in the blue cave was an extraordinary experience! Faivos was a super guide!

We paddle boarded around the Kardimyli coast with Foivos. Such a beautiful, incredible experience! Foivos was very encouraging and helped everyone to feel confident. It was a brilliant way to see the coast- and great to hear more about the local history, Lunch and snorkelling in a small, quiet bay topped the whole experience off. Such a memorable trip. Thank you.

What a lovely tour of the coast of Kardamyli! Our two guides were just so welcoming, so knowledgeable, so much fun! We have done similar tours before, but this topped it, because it included the lunch on the beach, because of the amazing blue cave experience and really because of the way in which the group was held together by the guides, through group explanations about the area, but also through individual chats and some fun team activities. We also really appreciated that they took so many photos of us, so we didn't have to bother with our phones at all, which made it much more relaxing. Highly recommended, more than worth the money.

Amazing experience ! Very friendly and knowledgeable guide, great equipement and lovely scenery. Lunch is also delicious. Spot on !

So much fun and delicious picnic. Roque was a brilliant guide keeping us entertained and informed with stories and history from the local area. Highly recommend this trip.

Great day at sea with fun and knowledgeable guides. We visited lovely places and had a great time. We will definitely do it again! Thank you George and Ourania for everything.

Me and my sons had a good experience sea kayaking in Kalamata. Our guide Roch was fantastic and knowledgeable. Roch put us at ease right from the start as this was our first time Sea kayaking.

Best family event in Kalamata! The sea kayak tour is the best way to get kids out to enjoy the sea. The guide was both very informative and an absolute pleasure to be around.

Definitely the best way to spend a day in Greece. Friendly expert advice made us feel safe and improve our kayaking making it really easy . The views from the sea are amazing. Two stops to swim and a great lunch near the finish line. Simply brilliant.

It was our first time when we went kayaking on the sea. I was a bit worried that I cannot keep pace with the group, but it was not the case. Our hosts were amazing and made us feel good and relaxed. They told us a bit about the surrounding area and showed us some beautiful secret places. I never thought that I will enjoy an experience that much.

Great day out. Fun and experienced guide, who also provided a lovely lunch. The slightly windy and cloudy weather conditions actually added to the atmosphere of the trip and provided the backdrop to some spectacular photos. We saw some wonderful wildlife and parts of the coast that can't be seen from the land. Would definitely recommend.

It was a great experience to discover the coast. Our guide was very friendly and professionnal. Thank you !

A unique kayak adventure in a turquoise sea and they took us to unique places. This is an experience not to be missed!

Unbelievable fun to do with the family. The supervisors were also super nice and knowledgeable! We really had a great day. Highly recommended.

What an amazing experience. Such a friendly team of people with a perfect balance of safety & fun for everyone. Thank you!

Very friendly, well organised and thoroughly enjoyable trip. Delicious lunch on the beach, plenty of time to swim and take in the beautiful views too. It’s a must-do !!

Professional staff, kids friendly service, amazing experience! A not to miss experience when you visit Messenia, absolutely wonderful

We felt at ease the whole trip which lasted about 3 hours. We are beginners at kayaking, and felt safe and looked after. The guides made the trip fun for the kids and chatted nicely with the adults. I would recommend without hesitation. And we had a lovely Greek lunch with some stories about the lunch from the guides (Giorgos and Christos). They were the nicest of fellas who embodied the Greek lifestyle of easy going, warm, friendly, and enjoyed a laugh and liked having fun.

A very nice experience with professional instructors. We felt safe during the whole trip. Lunch on the beach was lovely.

We had a fantastic day with Rock sea kayaking! We took a beautiful trip around the amazing scenery and had a lovely lunch on a hidden beach. We also had a swim around the beach in its crystal blue waters. We were running late due to getting a bit lost but they waited for us and was Rock was very welcoming and friendly! He took care of everyone and it was so nice that it was a small group of 5 and it wasn’t crowded and an over filled experience! He was also very knowledgeable about the area which was very interesting to learn about. Would 10/10 recommend!

This was a great kayaking experience (and my first!). The leaders were helpful, cheerful, patient and experienced. They corralled the group several times on the water so we stayed together. They gave a guided tour of the area and history. They led us to caves to explore and best of all the swim in the deep pool inside a cave. They prepared a healthy lunch for us and let us swim on a beach before returning to the start. One of my favorite experiences on the entire trip to Greece.

All of it! The entire day was amazing! We all had a great time and are still talking about it today!!

Rok and Roll! Brilliant time out with Rok - very informative and such beautiful scenery. Lovely picnic at a secluded beach and decent pace back.

The Exploring Messina Team was fantastic! I would give it a 6/5 if possible. The kayak trip was beautiful. We saw two caves and jumped into an incredible blue lagoon. George took great pictures along the way and treated us to a delicious lunch on the beach. George was an informative, thoughtful, positive and enthusiastic leader. Roque and Giannis were kind and and conscientious helpers. My husband and I completely loved this adventure and would highly recommend it to others.

The day out was awesome and super unique! My partner and I had the tour guides to ourselves, which made it much more personal. We learnt a lot more about the culture and history of Greece and the area we were kayaking - awesome story telling might I add! We went during May, which I recommend if you want to avoid tourists, although the water is slightly cold, I'd rather paddle with no one around than swim and share!

So exciting expirience! The people was great and I think they taught a lot of things and show how many news roads are opening by sea kayak! A new travel just started!

Stelios took us (family with two kids 10 & 12 years) to the half day sea kayaking trip in Kalamata. We met on time and got a friendly & professional introduction for the paddling. The boats provided were professional and in perfect conditions. We highly enjoyed paddling along the coast. Covered distance and speed were adjusted to the participants. It was not only a superp excursion but also an interesting exchange with Stelios about Greece and Greek culture & food.

-The people we met in Explore Messinia was just excellent. Friendly, full of knowledge of the area, great padlers, great storytellers. Beatiful nature

We had an extra ordinary day. The experience was magnificent. One that I'll cherish for life. Don't miss it. Highly recommended.

I have participated in a sea kayak weekend and visited Kardamyli, Delphinia beach, Agios Nikolaos. All the excursion was fantastic , well-organized and a great experience. Special Kudos to the organizares that make the difference; aka the leader @George and all the team, which are very positive, helpful and always with a smile.

Excellent experience! Well recommended for a sneak preview of a natural cove and the ancient port of Kitries coupled with a tasty light lunch full of traditional food. Many thanks to our guide Tryfonas. We are certain to return!

It was an amazing experience really to do! The guides were on top, we visited two caves of great wonder. If you pass by, it is imperative to kayak with this really cool and professional team! It was a very nice day 🥰

We had a guided sea kayak tour with my family, from Kardamilly This was really fantastic, we enjoyed the landscapes from the sea, the discovery of the cave was just unique, good food, nice atmosphere, and a real plus for Georg you guide. He was really kind, professional, relax, and shared some interesting historical features.

It was all perfect at all levels! I was very pleased with the whole process which is exactly as described on the website and with the above. Stelios is also excellent with the kids and plays with them even in the break we took.

A lovely way to explore the beautiful coastline and turquoise sea around Kalamata. Our guide, George showed us lots of tips for open sea, coast and cave kayaking and introduced us to the wonders of oregano, salt and olive oil for lunch. A fabulous introduction to the area, thank you.

Everything was as described and expected, as an experienced camper I enjoyed this and I will do it again!

We experienced an incredibly great canoe trip as a foursome including cave tour, swimming break and lunch. George was always there with interesting facts and lots of fun and was very adept at paddling. Highly recommended!

The waters and the course are beautiful. Lots of cool anecdotes, one of the best Kayaking expeditions we’ve ever done! Georges is perfectly Anglophone and even almost Francophone, he is a very good guide, professional and pedagogue. Thanks again!

All the day it was SUPER !!it was one of my favourite day of my life ! Amazing view and experience with one of the best giwrgos kontargyris!so many beautiful places !

Me & my two boys really enjoyed the tour! George, the guide, was clearly very competent and experienced, and he is also very kind and patient. He did an excellent job keeping my two kids entertained and taught my older one some cool techniques. We all loved it - the local snacks included! The only downside was maybe the coastline. It’s very nice, no doubt, but I think another tour (e.g. Kardamyli) would have been even more exciting to visit. We like the natural, more untouched landscapes and “off the beaten track” adventures. But this was not George’s fault, as it was our decision to go on the Kalamata tour due to timing issues we had. Thank you for a great day. We would definitely book with Explore Messina again and can highly recommend it.

A wonderful kayak tour with guide Anna and George. The two know many stories and beautiful caves and coves for swimming and picnicking. Highlight was the turtle and the picnic. George brought us back safely through wind and waves. Thank you very much. I will definitely come back next year!

It was an unforgettable experience that will definitely be repeated..I recommend it to all small and large..George and Anna thank you very much!!

A unique experience for locals but also travelers who want to see something more. Do not hesitate to try it even with disabled people and young children, just magic! I strongly recommend it.

The sea kayaking was definitely one of the highlights of our trip letting us see the coast of Kalamata from a whole new perspective. The guys were extremely knowledgeable and reassuring and took us to some incredible sea caves, and also absolutely hilarious - they really made the trip. Thank you for having us we cannot recommend it enough!

It was just a day of glory! For the first time in a kayak and quickly synchronously paddled (thanks to good introduction!) the bay was ne balanced and even kept a quick with a seal! Thousand thanks 🌟

The whole tour was fabulous but the highlight for me was the amazing blue cave we entered. The colour was out of this world, lets keep it a secret!! The rest of the tour was given professionally, we learnt lots of local information and generally had a fantastic morning with Anna and George. Cant recommend it enough.

We stay regularly on j know existed! All done with great expertise, in a light touch style with great communication skills. Kit was first rate too. I couldn't recommend this trip more highly! Just do it!

This trip was an incredible way to start our Kalamata vacation. George and Anna were both incredibly kind and knowledgeable. We loved exploring the coastline and the caves as well as swimming and just having fun. I cannot recommend this more highly. It was fab-u-lous!!!!!

A fantastic day, a great way to explore the coast line. An excellent trip for all the family, the teenagers loved it. Knowledgeable and fun guides.

Very nice day, she had started a little bit badly because Tripadvisor did not give us the new meeting place. Very friendly and attentive companions. Very good 😊

What a wonderful tour with Ana and Giorgos, most experienced guide! Being so close to the waterline, we got to know the coast from a different perspective, and we even had the opportunity to spot a sea turtle!

Great trip along the coast with the family, our kids, 12 and 8 loved it! The equipment is high quality and the guides made it a great day!

Great route choice with exquisite hospitality and well-determined guidance team!!!Thank you very much for the unique experience!

Super trip including swimming in caves. Especially with children (from about 8 years) an adventure! Highly recommended

It's "Perfect"! Best time in Kalamata! An unforgettable experience, George our guide is very friendly and cool. It's easy for beginners to learn. We visited beautiful places, private beaches, caves.. I highly recommend it.

We had our first touch with sea kayak with explore messinia ! Our 3 star educational programme was perfect with Giorgos and Fotis sharing with us all the knowledge they have! Perfect instructors !perfect Location ! Cant wait for the next session:)kayak chapters just opened and with the best coaches @exploremessinia!

A combination of knowledge, professionalism, fun, education, motivation! The drivers have the ability to "feel" what the individual would want and almost "instinctively" adjust the proportion of the above to the "right" dose at any time. They love what they do and they transmit! Having done enough river kayaking, I did not expect to find such interest in sea kayak, even technically. I'll do it again!

We came in November and despite the rough seas we were alone with our great guide, George, who allowed us to see lots of exciting things and did not hesitate to share interesting anecdotes about Mani. Despite being unable to enter the caves due to the waves, George managed to make this moment very pleasant. We will remember for a very long time this superb experience, which is well worth its price. We recommend 100%, even for beginners!

I have spent three days with them learning kayak skills. As a rookie doing kayak, i never thought i could learn so many tips from these lessons. Fotis, George and Trifonas are very friendly and professional the same time. Since then, I highly recommend them to everyone i know.

We were recommended by friends and discovered charming, professional and generous people who made the cruise day a great family experience. With ample heart and great fun they followed us and gave us recommendations for the journey. An unforgettable experience and we will come back again. We became our best friends!!

Had a great time weather was fantastic and Alex was perfect Guide, made excellent picnic and very informative thanks

Fabulous...Alex was a great guide, wonderful scenery, particularly enjoyed lunch - dipping greek bread into olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper on a beautiful deserted little beach after a wonderful snorkelling dip in the sea :)

Was a great experience. End of season so we were only two plus the instructor Alex.. enjoyed on the water and all in all covered a long way and visited 2 beaches! Definitely worth it..

We had a nice, relaxed day paddling around the coast near Kalamata with another couple in two tandem kayaks. Our guide, George, brought along an excellent picnic and had lots of interesting stories to tell about the local area and scenery.

Alex was a kind and fun guide who made sure we understood how to kayak and provided safety tips. Along the way and at the stops he took many pictures and pointed out cultural points of interests. He made sure the pace was leisurely (which we wanted) and provided a delicious, fresh tasting lunch. We highly recommend this trip to enjoy the beautiful Greek culture.

Our guide, George, was brilliant and very knowledgeable on local history and wildlife. We had a great time kayaking and snorkelling in Navarino Bay, and visiting Sphactiria island. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area, it was one of the highlights of our holiday !

I highly recommend this kayak trip on the turquoise waters of the Mani area, in Kardamyli. the scenery is beautiful, and it is quite accessible to non-sportsmen and families. We had a great time in the company of our instructor George, who is very professional, and very kind and passionately shared the anecdotes on the sites visited. Especially beautiful caves. We felt like adventurers! he knew perfectly to adapt to our pace and the desires of the children. Thank you for this wonderful moment that will remain etched in our memories

Pleasant walk, very friendly and experienced guide, mysterious and unexpected visit to caves and swimming in an underground lake. Organic picnic based on local products on beautiful beach. Snorkeling with equipment provided. Activities suitable for everyone, magnificent view from the water on the coast.

We went sea kayaking with Stelios near Kardamily. The experience was great because we were able to see great places and this activity is suitable for those who have no experience. Our guide was infinitely kind with the desire to show us plenty of hidden places. Recommend without a doubt!

We were with 2 children 8 and 10 years old to go sea kayaking, we had a great time with George who made us take a wonderful ride along the coast, then swim with picnic on the beach. We highly recommend this outing the scenery is superb, the supervision is excellent +++++

We couldn’t recommend this trip highly enough! We spent an absolutely fantastic day on the sea with our guide, Alex, and a delightful Dutch family. The tour was very well organised and the leadership extremely professional with the perfect mix of humour and knowledge, giving us all great confidence to fully enjoy the experience. Our thanks to Alex for making this a day to remember and for providing a delicious, healthy picnic and also sending photos as a lasting reminder of our wonderful holiday! Jane & Phil

Our family had a great time kayaking today. Our guides were very friendly and helpful and served up a wonderful picnic on the beach where we snorkelled amongst many small fish.

Great! We had a great day with Alex and stelios, the activity is very nice and the beautiful scenery, the Greek picnic on the creek is perfect and hearty, and in addition you can discover the surroundings in mask and snorkel loaned by the team, I highly recommend, the prices are reasonable, the staff whether by email, phone or guides are adorable, and speaks very well English and some French! Not having a car one of the guides picked us up directly from our house and it is a service we have much appreciated Undoubtedly do it again!!!

We spent a fantastic few hours exploring the coastline around Kardimili. We know the area quite well, but this gave us a whole new experience of this beautiful area. Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The standard of kayaking equipment was very good. We had the opportunity to explore sea caves and do some snorkeling. We enjoyed a nice,simple picnic on the beach before an open sea return to Kardimili. The guides took plenty of photos which were sent to us via a link. Highly recommended!

We took a kayak trip with the family. We were able to enjoy the beautiful landscapes with a different point of view in peace. The advice given was valuable and the coaching great. Two-seater canoes make it easy for children to participate. Rich, pleasant and fantastic experience. The whole family loved it. I recommend.

Great! Perfect organization, super friendly guides, a delicious Greek picnic in a small secluded cove. An activity that appeals to the whole family, young children and teenagers. Departure at 9:30 am and return at 2:30 pm. We highly recommend!
