Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need previous kayaking experience to join this tour?

No prior kayaking experience is necessary. Our guides provide a safety and paddling briefing at the start and ensure the pace and difficulty suit the group. It’s beginner-friendly and perfect for families and first-timers

What will be the pace?

Our tours are always at a very relaxed pace — we’ve never asked anyone to paddle faster. It’s about enjoying the journey, not racing to the destination (even though the views and history are amazing!). If you’re an experienced paddler looking for a more challenging adventure, let us know — we’d love to organize a private trip just for you.

 Is this tour suitable for children?

Absolutely! This tour is ideal for kids, as it beautifully combines outdoor adventure with fun historical learning. Children aged 6 and up are welcome, as long as they’re comfortable in the water and accompanied by an adult. We use double kayaks for parents and children, and always adjust the pace and route to suit the group.

Do we actually visit the fortresses or just observe them from the sea?

Acronafplia Fortress and Palamidi Fortress sit high on the cliffs and cannot be accessed by sea, so we paddle right beneath their impressive walls to appreciate their scale and history. Bourtzi Castle is visible from the harbor lighthouse, and while we cannot land on the island due to port restrictions, we share the rich history of Bourtzi and the rest of the castles from the comfort of our kayaks.

When is the best time of year to do this tour?

The tour runs year-round but is best enjoyed in mild weather — spring through autumn — when the sea is calm and the temperatures comfortable.

Are there any age or health restrictions?

We don’t require participants to be particularly fit — we trust you to decide whether you’re comfortable joining. If you have any health conditions, feel free to let us know in advance so we can support you accordingly. We’ve proudly welcomed people with disabilities on our tours.

What kind of kayaks do you use?

We use fast and stable sit-in sea kayaks that make paddling very easy, even for beginners.

What if the weather is bad on the day of our tour?

Safety is our top priority. If the weather conditions are unsafe (e.g. strong winds), we may adjust the route, reschedule, or offer a full refund if cancellation is necessary.

What should I wear and bring?

We recommend a swimsuit, UV-protective shirt, hat, and sunglasses. Bring a towel, sunscreen, and water shoes to protect against sea urchins. Most importantly, bring your enthusiasm and smiles!

Will I get photos from the tour?

Yes! We provide a waterproof camera during the tour, and you’ll receive a selection of photos after the tour at no extra charge.

Are meals or snacks provided?

Yes. The tour includes refreshing snacks, cold fruits, homemade cake, and water.

Is transportation included in the price?

No, transfers are not included in the price. However, we’re happy to help you arrange transportation to and from the meeting point upon request (an additional cost may apply).

How many people are on the tour?

We require a minimum of 2 participants and can host up to 30. That said, our average group size is 6 people — small enough for a personal and friendly experience.

Can I book the tour privately for my family or group?

Absolutely. Private tours are available — just contact us directly and we’ll help create a custom experience for your group.

What happens if I need to cancel?

Please see our Terms & Conditions for full details on cancellations and refunds. Generally, the more notice you give us, the more flexible we can be.
