Activity description

Embark on an extraordinary adventure with a sea kayak tour to the shipwreck "Manassa Rose" and the old metal mine ruins of Ravdoucha at Kissamos Bay. Delve into the captivating history and breathtaking scenery of this picturesque destination nestled along the coast of Crete.

The journey begins as you meet your guide and prepare to explore the coastline of Kissamos Bay. Learn about the story behind the "Manassa Rose" shipwreck, a reminder of maritime history resting peacefully in the crystal-clear waters of the bay. 

As you paddle along the rugged coastline, you will encounter the remnants of an old metal mine, dating back to 1905. Gain insight into the region's industrial heritage as you explore these intriguing ruins. Continue your adventure to a private beach, accessible only by sea. Take a well-deserved break to unwind on the sandy shores, indulge in a refreshing swim, or snorkel amidst the vibrant marine life beneath the surface. 

Conclude your tour by venturing into a sea cave adorned with majestic rock formations and echoing with the calls of seabirds. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the cave before heading back to shore, filled with unforgettable memories of your sea kayak expedition.

On each kayak, there is the option to install a sail (brand: Falcon sails).

The sails are foldable and fully operational while kayaking! In case of no wind, we will fold them and continue paddling, when the wind is back we will deploy the sails and continue sailing with the kayak. The sails allow you to paddle a little bit less and let the kayak slide with the wind.
