Activity description

Embark on an adventure to remember in the Ionian Sea on this 4-hour, guided stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) and snorkelling excursion in Kardamyli near Kalamata! Welcoming beginners and adventurers ages 12 and up.

The picturesque coastal village of Kardamyli is located in the southern part of Greece's Peloponnese peninsula. With a fascinating history that dates back to antiquity, Kardamyli is also known for its diverse landscapes, amazing beaches, and stunning views of the Messenian Gulf and the Ionian Sea. What better way to discover this incredible region than by taking a guided SUP and snorkelling tour in Kardamyli? 

Your SUP and snorkelling adventure begins at the meeting point in Saint John's Harbour in Kardamyli. There, you and your group (a maximum of 9 people) will be greeted by your experienced instructor. After a safety and itinerary briefing, you'll receive your gear (stand-up paddle board, paddle, leash, dry bag, and life jacket). Now the fun starts! You'll be provided with an introduction to SUP, including posture and paddling techniques. Once everyone feels comfortable and has practised, you'll set out at a slower pace, stopping for a break or to take photos of the magnificent panorama of imposing cliffs and turquoise water. 

While paddling, you'll bask in the hot Greek sun while experiencing the serenity of nature. Don't forget to keep your eyes on the water, sea turtles and varied species of fish are common in this area. In the company of your instructor, you'll explore hidden coves and beaches as you paddle in distinctive sea caves and caverns. Midway through the SUP and snorkelling excursion in Kardamyli, you'll stop for a refreshing swim and snorkel. In addition, you'll be treated to a well-deserved break with delicious food such as freshly baked bread, local vegetables, fruit, and cheese, as well as extra virgin olive oil. 

Re-energized, you'll return to the original departure point at Saint John's Harbour with lifelong memories of this SUP and snorkelling excursion in Kardamyli. Since your instructor will take photos during the tour, you'll have special souvenirs that capture the moment!
