About this experience
Spend a truly unforgettable day kayaking in the gorgeous waters surrounding Diaporos Island, located in Vourvourou Bay in the ‘second leg’ of Halkidiki, Sithonia. The natural beauty of the island is one of the most beautiful sights in the region, offering amazing green landscapes of pine trees, white sandy beaches and crystal turquoise waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Our Blue Coves Kayak Tour lasts 4 hours, and allows you to actively enjoy and experience a unique adventure without dedicating an entire day. The tour includes the kayak and snorkeling equipment, dry bags, a big bottle of water, fresh fruits of the season, a healthy snack, and our famous homemade picnic lunch with lots of Greek delicacies and local products. To maximize your experience even further, we will be taking pictures during the trip so you can keep these memories forever.
