About this experience
Our sit-on-top kayaks can be used by individuals, under 100 kilograms, with no experience for a fun exploration of scenic coastlines in Cyprus. In this trip, we start and finish at Limnara beach, nearly 3 km east of the Ayia Napa Sea Caves complex. If the water is calm, we enter 2 sea caves, 1 of which has 2 entrances. We also visit Lovers' Bridge. The water is usually crystal clear.
Max four kayakers at any time (plus the guide makes three).
Usually the sea is calm before midday. If the customers agree, in case of forecasted choppy sea, instead we kayak around south of Green Bay towards Cape Greko and back (if the weather is expected to be bad everywhere, we cancel the trip).

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1
Agia Napa Sea Caves complex is the main focus and the most western point on our itinerary. The complex comprises a collection of sea caves and rock formations, on the east side of the Agia Napa fishing port, just east of the two beaches of Pantahou and Glyky Nero. Some are almost too narrow for even a single person to enter, others are wider, some have a form of a tunnel or of a natural arch (the famous Lovers' Bridge).
It must be noted that this service is not offered when access to the Agia Napa Sea Caves is prohibited (in the recent past, from the beginning of November until the end of April). Access to the caves during the cold season is forbidden as it is thought that Mediterranean monk seals and their puppies may be using them. We should not disturb them. We visit the caves during the rest of the year, provided the sea is not very choppy.
We have alternative 3-hour and 4-hour routes that operate year long (Cape Greko Sea caves/east coast of Cape Greko).
What's not included
As a way to minimise negative impact on the environment, we do not provide (plastic) bottle water.
Paid transportation (taxi or similar)

Important information
Public transportation options are available nearby
Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries
Not recommended for pregnant travelers
Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
Please keep in mind that while we do provide things like a dry bag, travellers should be clear that they would probably get wet and they should not bring along things that would be damaged by salt water.
The kayaks are light, only 18 kilograms each and can go relatively fast, depending also on the weight on them. There is some storage place on them. At the same time, people should keep in mind that increasing the weight on the sea kayaking, increases the work they would need to do to move the kayak forward.
We check weather forecast early in the morning. If it is not good, and better on the east coast, we instead kayak around Green Bay and Fig Tree Bay, if customers agree and the weather forecast there is better.
Kayakers should be able to swim. Yes, the kayaks of course float and all kayakers were Personal Flotation Devices. Still we expect everyone to be able to swim.
Our kayaks are rated for a load of 125 kg. Kayakers should only book if the load on each kayak will be no more than 100 kg.
Meeting point
Please make sure you end up at the beach (or the dirt road - there is a sign)
