4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

What makes this sea kayak trip truly unique is the perfect blend of adventure, natural beauty, and hidden history along one of Crete’s most stunning coastlines. Unlike typical beach excursions, this experience lets you actively explore the wild, untouched side of southern Rethymno—gliding through turquoise waters, weaving past dramatic cliffs, and discovering secluded spots only accessible by kayak. The stop at Kalypso Bay offers a rare chance to snorkel in a secluded marine haven and leap from rocks into the clear sea, adding a playful thrill. Visiting the old mine tunnels at Plakias adds a historical twist to the journey, giving you a glimpse into the island’s past. With personalized guidance, top-quality gear, and small group sizes, this is more than just a kayak tour—it’s an immersive experience in Crete’s coastal magic.

What to expect

During our sea kayak adventure in Crete, we’ll start from the Damnoni Watersports Center with a quick safety briefing and get equipped with everything we need—life jackets, paddles, and waterproof bags. Once we’re ready, we’ll set off along the stunning south coast of Rethymno, paddling past dramatic rocky landscapes and hidden coves. Our first stop will be at the beautiful Kalypso Bay, where you’ll have time to snorkel in crystal-clear waters and try some fun jumps from the surrounding rocks. We’ll then continue to the scenic Plakias Beach, where we’ll explore the fascinating old mine tunnels carved into the cliffs. After taking in the views and snapping some photos, we’ll paddle back to Damnoni Beach to end our unforgettable coastal journey.
