Summary: It was an amazing experience to SUP on the crystal clear waters of Kardamyli while taking in the beautiful scenery all around. I liked that it was a small group and our guide Giannis was friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the history of the area. Loved the refreshing swims which helped to cool you off and enjoyed the delicious picnic lunch on a pretty beach. I would recommend bringing your own snorkeling mask as I couldn't get a good fit with the one that they provided. Overall a great way to spend 4 hours out on the sea!

Summary: We had an excellent day out with Yianis our guide. Even though we are regular SUPers it was wonderful to have a guide. We felt safe and he told us lots of interesting things about the local area, which is stunning. The lunch was delicious and the secluded beach we ate on was beautiful. Thoroughly recommend.

Summary: This SUP-tour was AMAZING. This tour started with a very lovely guide, Rock. Starting the tour and already had the feeling knowing him for a long time. In one of the most beautiful - fifty shades of blue - seas started our trip: hidden hotspots, caves and a lunchbreak on a magical place with plenty of beautiful fish. I highly recommend this trip! 5-STARS for sure! ⭐️
