Sea kayaking Courses and Tours

Yes. After 11 years of involvement in sea kayaking, completing very demanding expeditions in Greek and international waters, the business expansion came as a natural progression. In addition to tours and courses, we represent leading brands in the kayaking industry, Rebel, Aquarius, Kayak Innovations and WaveDesign, offering high-quality kayaks and equipment in both the Greek and Cypriot markets. The team’s athletic spirit is still very much alive: every year we organize a major kayaking expedition, continuing the tradition we’ve maintained since the team was founded.

The team was founded in Greece, and its heart will always remain there. However, we operate two bases, one in Greece and one in Cyprus. Our business headquarters is located in Cyprus, and we have kayaks and equipment available at both locations. Most of our time is spent in Cyprus, but each year we also organize 4–5 courses in Greece that follow ACA standards, with the option to receive ACA certification. In summary: tours take place in Cyprus, while courses are offered in both Greece and Cyprus.

Our personal and individualized approach to every student and client. We strictly follow the highest safety standards, and our goal is to help each person who trusts us achieve their own goals — whether that means simply enjoying a beautiful short tour, or being trained and prepared as a sea kayaker for a demanding expedition.

Sea kayaking is a year-round sport. Its origins trace back to Greenland and the Arctic regions. True to the spirit of the traditional kayak, we are on the water throughout the year.

In Cyprus, the best time to kayak without special cold-water gear is from mid-April to June and from September to December. July and August are peak tourist months with very high temperatures, though we offer some tours away from the main tourist areas. The ideal months are September through November, and even until mid-December, temperatures often reach around 20°C, with relatively warm water.

For experienced kayakers equipped with a dry top or dry suit, we are happy to organize winter expeditions between January and March. Even during these months, average temperatures hover around 15°C, and it’s very rare for coastal areas to drop below 10°C.

Courses in Greece are usually organized in October, April, June, and August. The instructor is Aggelos Christophides, certified by ACA and ICF. There is also the option for assessment and ACA certification, up to Level 3 (L3).

Courses take place in Eretria, Evia, where the team’s base is located. The area is excellent for sea kayaking, offering both sheltered waters and more exposed conditions, as well as facilities such as food and accommodation. For the demanding Level 3 (L3) course, we also move to the Evripos Strait in Chalkis, home to the strongest tidal current in Greece.

Yes. We offer tours designed for complete beginners, with no prior kayaking experience required. Participation also depends on the weather conditions. We aim for your first kayaking experience to be positive, selecting days with calm or nearly calm waters for safe and enjoyable paddling.

Yes. We follow the ACA eligibility criteria, which are as follows:

1. Breathe independently (i.e., not require medical devices to sustain breathing).
2. Independently maintain sealed airway passages while underwater.
3. Independently hold head upright without neck/head support.
4. Manage personal care independently or with the assistance of a companion.
5. Manage personal mobility independently or with a reasonable amount of assistance.
6. Follow instructions and communicate effectively, either independently or with the assistance of a companion.

Up to 5 participants strictly. We follow ACA guidelines, which set a maximum participant-to-instructor ratio of 5:1 for safety reasons.

We have kayaks such as the NATSEQ by Kayak Innovation, which is ideal for larger paddlers — accommodating individuals up to 2 meters tall and weighing up to 120 kg.

If you are close to this limit or unsure which kayak suits you best, we’ll be happy to recommend the most comfortable and stable option to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.

However, please note that very high body weight can create some challenges during rescue exercises in the courses, particularly when practicing assisted re-entries and self-rescue techniques.

We primarily use single (solo) sea kayaks, as we believe that the true joy of kayaking comes from handling your own boat — experiencing a sense of autonomy, full control, and independence that’s impossible to match in a tandem.

However, we do have one double kayak available, and it’s possible that we’ll add a few more in the future for specific cases or custom requests.

In that case, we will either refund your deposit in full or offer you an alternative date or location for the event. The choice is entirely yours.

Yes, this is possible upon arrangement. For a package of two single-day tours — one 4-hour tour (e.g., Ayia Napa or Protaras) and one full-day 7-hour tour (e.g., Yeronisos) — with a minimum of 3 participants, we offer a 10% discount.

For experienced kayakers, we provide composite Rebel and Aquarius kayaks. For beginners and intermediate paddlers, we use the Sea Emotion 505 by Aquarius and the NATSEQ by Kayak Innovation. We also offer a wide range of paddles, including Euroblade, Wing, and Greenland paddles from WaveDesign and Rebel.

Yes. We can design customized multi-day tours based on your preferences and suggest a route that will be truly unforgettable. However, you will need to bring your own camping equipment.

You can book via our contact form. We will inform you about availability and provide all necessary details. A 30% deposit is required to secure your booking, and the remaining balance must be paid 3 days before the start of the course or tour.

We usually reply within 24 hours after receiving your message. If we’re out on the water with limited internet access, please allow up to 48 hours — we’ll get back to you as soon as we’re off the water and back on land.

We are not interested in mass tourism and do not follow the platform commission business model. Our goal is to provide a premium service to those who seek the best in sea kayaking, whether for a tour or a course.

No. We exclusively offer organized tours and courses with a guide or instructor.

Participants must be 18 years or older, or 16–18 years old only with parental consent and the presence of a guardian.

Sit-on-top kayaks are essentially beach toys, with very slow performance, no real appeal, and very tiring to paddle due to their large width, which also puts extra strain on the body. Only by paddling a true sea kayak (sit-in) can you experience the huge difference in speed, glide, handling, and performance in rough water. The connection with the paddler and the ability to steer the kayak with precision are qualities that only a sit-in kayak can provide. And don’t worry about balance or stability: we offer kayaks so stable that even complete beginners can paddle comfortably without fear of capsizing.

Yes. Please visit the Kayaks & Paddles section — currently available in Greek only — to view the models we offer and get in touch with us.
We always keep 2–3 kayaks in stock, while for custom Rebel and Aquarius orders we have two major deliveries per year. For Natseq kayaks and WaveDesign paddles, delivery time is approximately 10–20 days. Almost the entire range of our kayaks and paddles are available for free demo sessions, both in Greece and Cyprus. For deliveries to Cyprus, please note an additional cost of €200 per kayak, with direct delivery to your location.
