This was our favorite activity of our 14-day trip. As a first-time paddle-boarder, Stefano was a great instructor and got us up and paddling within a few minutes. He also made the tour very relaxing and fun. I would recommend this to anyone.

Stefanos was a fantastic guide during our paddle boarding excursion and we had a wonderful time in Crete paddle boarding! The water was stunning, and thanks to our small group (only 4 paddlers), we had a very fun experience exploring some of the coast in Crete while our cruise ship was docked there. The excursion takes place in an area that's far away from the crowds which was very nice. Stefanos also explains everything very thoroughly and doesn't go too quickly for new paddle boarders. Would highly recommend this excursion if you are in Crete!

Really really great experience. Everyone, from driver who picked us up to instructors and organisers was so friendly and helpful and fun.
There's no pressure to actually stand up on the board if you dont want to, no rush to "keep up" (which is what i was worried about) and the bays they take you to are so so beautiful and the water so clear.
We did the 11am one and were picked up at 10.20am and didnt get back until 3.15pm - this was the only negative - that the transfer to and from Chania took ages as we were picking people up and some of them were out of the way, so the travel took extra time out of our day- so i would recommend the 8am one so you still have most of the day left.

We really loved it. As an older couple we felt very well looked after amongst a group of young adults and really got the most out of the morning. Stefanos clearly knows how to instruct, amuse and look after a group. I will definitely be recommending it to all our friends and guests as a greater started experience. And of course, they do other tours for more experienced people

Great experience, the guides really knew how to teach you SUP with excellent results for me and my son. We had a fantastic time and will do it again if we get the chance.

Fantastic fun with Stefanos and crew. They showed us the basics and got us all standing and paddling. Even got a local tour of Chania from Visallis on the drive to and from. Definitely recommend giving this activity a try.

This was a fun and worthwhile activity. We were picked up outside our hotel and driven to the padding location. The instructors were kind, considerate and informative. Equipment was in good condition. The water and scenery were gorgeous. Thanks for a great time.

The SUP tour was so great that I ended up doing it two times during my trip to Crete! Stefanos and the guides were fantastic and really know what they are doing. The two hours flies by and they love to surprise you with something fun and adventurous during the tour. The bay where it is held is so calm and peaceful, and it’s nice to be out on the water. Out of my entire trip, this was one of my favorite things to do!

What a fun day! This was our first time paddle boarding and the instructors were so patient. They were especially patient with my husband who struggled most of the day. They stayed with him and really helped him get it. It was fun learning to paddle board and see the area. We were able to swim in the water and enjoy the day. They even took us on two surprises that we loved. The only downside was it’s time. I would have loved to be out there for even longer that’s how much fun we had. It was worth the trip and the price is very fair. The equipment is in great shape.
