What you’ll do
Kayaking is a truly unique way of exploring Pelion. Not just because it is the best way to visit the off-the-beaten-path part of the coast, but also because there is something stunning about the view of the mountain from the sea. That’s why we created a kayak excursion for people who look for a slow travel adventure full of powerful moments.
We will meet at the beach of Chorefto where after a short brief, we will jump on our colourful sit-on-top kayaks, our vessel for the day. After some training along the rocky shore, we paddle southwards, to explore a secret sea cave, enjoy the wild coast and take in the sublime scenery along the way to Plaka; an organized beach with translucent waters where we will have our break.
After the break, we will slowly paddle back towards Chorefto, to a small secluded beach tucked away behind a dramatic rock. There we will stop for a swim and some rest before we get back on our kayaks to continue our way back to the starting point of the excursion.
If you are looking for an exciting adventure or simply want to explore some unknown gems of the east coast of Pelion then this experience will not let you down.

We did the 4 hours trip with George. He was a super nice and very pleasant tour guide. It was breathtaking to be able to admire the beautiful coastal landscape of east Pelion from the water and get to know fantastic beaches and a cave that isn’t accessible from land. Absolutely to recommend!

On our fifth visit to Pilion, we were looking for something different to do. And we found it, for sure! Although it is a 4-hour trip, there is plenty of time to swim and relax on two remote beaches, and admire…

Amazing experience! The landscape is very nice and the trip is very much interesting! Giorgos is a great coach. We were both not experienced at all and we felt very confident and safe from the 1st moment. We took the long trip and was perfect! We loved the trip and we definitely will do it again!

We do visit a secret cave, but to avoid any confusion please note that the famous sea caves of Pelion are located 10 nautical miles (18 km) north of Chorefto; at the uninhabited part of the mountain. You can however visit them by joining our “Sea Caves of Thetis” boat trip.
We will try to reschedule or propose an alternative experience suitable for you. If neither is possible, we will cancel your reservation free of charge.
Yes, but we strongly recommend that you talk to your doctor before you travel and ask for motion sickness medication to use during the tour.
