Description

This is a memorable private guided kayaking trip which allows you to explore the coastline in a unique way.

Our sit-on-top kayaks are light watercraft that can be used by individuals with no kayaking experience for a fun exploration of some of the most scenic coastlines in Cyprus. Please note there is a maximum weight limit of 110kg per kayak. The water is usually crystal clear with light blue colours.

The trip starts around 9am and will last around 3 hours.

We start at Ammos Kampouri beach, unless otherwise arranged and we kayak west up to and along the Ayia Napa Sea Caves, including Lovers' Bridge, and back.

The trip is only available at the time when it is allowed to enter or go close to Ayia Napa Sea Caves (usually from the beginning of May until the end of October). This area is a breeding ground for endangered monk seals which usually have their pups during the winter months. During the time they may have pups, it is not allowed to access the caves area.

Depending on time availability, sea conditions and customers preferences, we may be able also to do further west for some distance, towards Cape Greco and back.

The basic kayaking route is along Ayia Napa Sea Caves from Ammos tou Kampouri beach going west and back (around 2.5 km / 1.5 miles each way)

Know before you go - Important information

Not suitable for wheelchairs or the less able.

Each kayak has a maximum capacity of 110 kg.

This is a private tour.

Suitable for adults only with moderate physical fitness who are competent swimmers.

Kayakers will get wet on the kayaks.

Kayaking is a casual non-extreme activity. We take appropriate safety measures and participants must wear the personal flotation device provided. Participants should always be alert and cautious when doing outdoor activities, especially in the sea.

We follow weather forecasts and meteorology very closely. If we see that the sea on a particular coast is not calm enough, then we may kayak on a different coastline. If we see that the sea is rough everywhere, then we will cancel the trip and either reschedule for an alternative date or issue a refund is not suitable alternative can be found.

These trips are about exploration while respecting nature. We strive not to disturb the animals we see, we do not feed them and we avoid getting too close in a way that they may feel threatened, or may be harmed in any way.

As we move away from summer and temperature outside and in the water fall, participants wishing to swim or snorkel may feel more comfortable wearing a wetsuit (or similar, even a UV protective long sleeved top), especially if we are spending a long time in the water. A 3mm suit should be more than enough for even the coolest days.

This activity is not suitable for children under 13.

Itinerary of this excursion is subject to change without prior notice due to weather conditions or reasons beyond our control.

All indicated times are approximate and subject to change.

This is a private small group tour for 1-2 people. Please contact us to enquire about larger groups.

The schedule of the tour is flexible to include snorkelling if required. You can discuss preferences with the guide on the day of the tour. If you wish to snorkel, you must bring your own snorkelling equipment.

Not recommended for participants with heart complaints or other serious medical conditions.

The trip is guided by Phivos, either in the English or the Greek language. Phivos also speaks good German, good Spanish, elementary French and elementary Mandarin.

Snorkelling is highly recommended year round, but from November until April a wetsuit (3 mm) may be required as the water temperature is much lower and you will get wet on the kayak.

Between May 1st and Nov 1st we go very close and possibly enter the caves, but from Nov 1st to end of April we stay further away because the caves may be used by seals and their puppies. We do not want to disturb them.

In case of forecasted choppy sea, instead we kayak around East Cape Greko (if the weather is expected to be bad everywhere, we cancel the trip).

What to bring

Water.

Sun protection, swimsuits, towels.

Snorkelling equipment (if you would like to snorkel)

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.
