The captain is very witty, and makes the day full of fun and entertainment. Our group ranged in age from 19 to 50 and we all loved it!

3.Kayak Trip to Hidden blue Cave, with lunch & fruits.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 393 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $48Best value

Sea kayak to Lefkada’s Hidden Blue Cave from Mikros Gialos, with snorkeling, starfish sightings, and a proper lunch break.

“Definitivno kruna naseg odmora. Ovu avanturu ostavili smo za poslednji dan odmora (preporucujemo tako, zbog sunca, jer ste stalno izlozeni, a do poslednjeg dana imacete i neki ten). Apsolutno svaki deo ove avanture je bio savrsen, pocev od vodica Yannis-a koji je toliko pristupacan, komunikativan i najvaznije, opasan saljivdzija. Ponesite faktor obavezno! Svaki kajak dobije svoju suvu torbu da tu stavite sve sto mislite da ce vam biti neophodno. Mali savet: cipele za vodu su vam odlicne ukoliko ih imate jer je sve uglavnom kamenito. Tokom citave ture prate vas istorijske price pecina i mesta koje obilazite. Predjete oko 10km kajakom, ronite u potrazi za crvenim zvezdama i zutim koralima.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 78 reviews · 7 hours · from $80

7-hour boat cruise from Nidri to Lefkada and Meganisi with cave swim stops, Greek BBQ lunch, and drinks on a small group.

“Utrolig rar båd. God plads. Ikke for mange mennesker! Virkelig lækker mad! Kunne godt have brugt lidt mere tid ved hulen og meganisis. Vi havde ikke tid til at svømme ind i hulen og på Meganisis nåede vi kun at gå op og så ned igen. Højtaleren på båden skrattede så det var svært at høre guiden. Der blev “dyttet” utroligt meget som fjernede roen og afslapningen. Musikken spillede de samme numre, og kaptajnens sms’er gik ind over musikken hele tiden. Kaptajnen lå og facetimede med høj lyd på ved stops. Det virkede lidt uprofessionelt. Men guiden var utrolig sød og imødekommende!”
