Nick and David were amazing. Such a well rounded trip/experience from two incredible guides who were professional, personable, thoughtful, caring, knowledgeable, and fun. I highly recommend them and will definitely be back.

We originally booked this kayaking tour but due to high winds we were unable to go. Anastasia was so wonderful is being sure to communicate with us and provide other options. We decided to do a taste of Naxos walking tour and cooking instead and it was absolutely fantastic! We loved getting to tour Naxos with her and all of the information she had to share with us. We had many laughs, learned a few Greek words, and ate delicious food. After the tour she even offered us suggestions for the rest of our vacation in Athens! You can’t go wrong exploring Naxos with Anastasia.

Full description

Enjoy a tour perfect for adventurous people and Kayak along the coast of Naxos Island. Admire beautiful landscapes and coastlines and try to spot local wildlife before stopping at caves and enjoying a local meal (optional meal).


Start the tour at the beautiful, sandy beach of Kalandos, located on the southern edge of Naxos Island, protected from the northerly summer winds. Explore the area, the island’s southernmost wetland, and the first resting and feeding stop for migratory birds on their long journey from Africa.

Finish the equipment check and safety briefing by your certified guide before paddling a distance of about 9 km along the south coast of Naxos, heading east.


Take in the breathtaking view from the neighboring Cycladic Islands and make stops at tiny sea coves with forbidding, craggy cliffs towering over us.


Paddle in the tranquil, blue-green waters and awesome geological formations along the coastline will meet your eyes until you reach the most impressive of them all: Rhina Cave with its ceiling of miniature stalactites and its inviting beach nearby.

Make a stop at Rhina Cave's beach for about 30-40 min. Enjoy delicious snacks prepared for you by the guide and sample the local products and delicacies of Naxos. Enjoy snorkeling in the waters around the beach and spotting local wildlife.

Head back to the kayak to return to the starting point at Kalandos Beach. End the tour with a scrumptious traditional (optional)meal at the local taverna where you can relax and enjoy the view.

The tour great from start to finish. Nick picked us up from our hotel and transported us to where the tour started. He told us a lot about Naxos island and history/mythology along the way. Got to see a lot of the island on our drive. Drove up many hills and winding roads. The water and views from the kayaks were beautiful. The kayaking was a mix of calmer and a bit more challenging wavy waters. When we got to Rina Cave we snorkelled from the beach area and swam right into the cave. The sand glistened in the water and saw various fish on our way to the cave. Nick took us to the cave early so we had it to ourselves. There was only 5 of us on the tour which made it very personable. You can tell that Nick loves kayaking and giving tours. The lunch at the nearby taverna was wonderful. Authentic fresh salad, tzatziki, chicken and lamb souvlaki that was delicous.
