Sign up for an amazing adventure as you explore the stunning turquoise waters of the Cretan sea on a comfortable kayak and discover incredible, untouched landscapes and beaches on this amazing sea kayaking excursion to the Pink Lagoon from Elafonisi! Located 75 km from Chania, Elafonisi is a tiny island, divided from the Cretan shore by a lagoon. There are only a small number of pink beaches scattered throughout the world, and Elafonisi is lucky enough to have one of them. They owe their exquisite color to tiny oysters named Foraminifera, which are red shells that are crushed in the sand, giving it a pink color.
Now, on the day of your kayaking excursion in Elofonisi, you'll need to arrive at Elofonisi Beach at least 10 minutes before your departure time. There, you'll meet the expert instructor who will accompany you on the adventure, and they'll explain a few safety measures you'll need to follow to have a great experience. Once you're ready, it's time to go!
You'll set off from Kissamos and drive on scenic coastal roads for approximately an hour. You'll get to a pebbly beach where you leave land and launch for the adventure! You'll take advantage of the high-quality sit-on-top kayaks and start paddling, following your instructor into the stunning landscapes of this Cretan island. You'll visit the stunning Pink Beach that sits on the southern side of the island, and if you want to, you'll put on your mask and snorkel to go into the beautiful, calm sea with crystal clear waters that will enchant you. And when you get near Elafonisi, you can swim in the colorful sheltered lagoon before returning to the meeting point for the end of your kayaking excursion in Elafonisi.
Don't forget to bring your swimsuit, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and shoes that can get wet, as well as anything else you might need (medication, water, etc.) to spend an amazing 3 to 4 hours paddling on this sea kayaking excursion to the Pink Lagoon from Elafonisi!
