Discover Crete's rocky western coastline as you paddle along turquoise waters and enjoy splashing into the water on this amazing beginner sea kayaking tour from Falassarna in Kissamos Bay! Located in Crete's western coast, Falassarna Beach is one of Europe's best and most well-known, with white sand and turquoise, tranquil waters to enchant locals and visitors alike. With an ancient harbor, separated from the mainland, rocky cliffs and sea caves, and an amazing underwater world, this is the perfect place to try your hand at kayaking!
On the day of your beginner sea kayaking excursion from Falassarna Beach, you'll need to arrive at a meeting point that will be confirmed by your instructor before the activity starts. Your instructor will give you a short introduction to paddling a sit-on-top sea kayak, and then you'll jump straight into the adventure.
Then, your beginner sea kayaking excursion will launch from the West side of Kissamos Bay, engulfed by peninsulas on two sides. The water is very clear and the underwater visibility is excellent. You'll paddle along the rocky coast, exploring the features, as well as shallow rocks teeming with fish, small caves, and narrow ravines from the mountains above, sticking out into the sea.
You'll take a break on a shallow reef, where, thanks to the sit-on-top kayak, it will be easy to jump into the stunning blue sea and enjoy exploring under the surface with snorkelling equipment. Once you're done, you'll paddle back to the starting point and return your equipment for the end of your kayaking experience in Kissamos Bay.
Take your chance to try a fun sport in the stunning waters of the Cretan Sea and enjoy diving into the Turquoise waters to experience the landscapes fully. Book your beginner sea kayaking excursion from Falassarna Beach, in Kissamos Bay, today!
