Activity description

Embark upon an unforgettable adventure in the Ionian Sea by joining this half-day, guided sea kayaking and snorkelling excursion in Lefkada! Welcoming beginners and explorers ages 10 and up.

Situated off the western coast of mainland Greece, the picturesque island of Lefkada is located in the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea. Renowned for its stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, Lefkada is the fourth largest island in the Ionian island grouping and is connected to the mainland by a bridge. What better way to immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes of Lefkada than by taking a guided kayaking and snorkelling excursion? Explore sea caves and the underwater world of the Ionian Sea and enjoy a traditional Greek picnic lunch with snacks! As an added convenience, this activity offers morning and afternoon departure times. 

Your adventure kayaking in Lefkada begins at the meeting point at Mikros Gialos, where you and your group (a maximum of 20 participants) will be greeted by your experienced and friendly instructor. After you've received your life jacket and paddle, you'll be given a safety and itinerary briefing, followed by an introduction to sea kayaking and paddling techniques. Once everyone feels comfortable after practising paddling in the water, the fun starts! Under the hot Greek sun, you'll start paddling to Rouda Bay, located on the southeastern coast of Lefkada. 

Upon arrival, you'll explore the unique sea caves with their distinctive rock formation and impressive stalactites, followed by a refreshing swim or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters. Since Lefkada boasts a variety of diverse marine life, don't forget to keep a lookout for dolphins, sea turtles, and many different kinds of fish! Midway through the tour kayaking in Lefkada, you'll stop for delicious, traditional Greek snacks and a picnic on a scenic beach. Savour the moment as you relax on the golden sand and don't forget your camera!
