"My 10-year old son and I took a wonderful kayaking day trip with Joan on beautiful Samos. This was a chance to see the island from a unique vantage point, kayak into caves, hold sea urchins and experience some of Samos' many natural wonders. The trip was exceedingly well-organized, the lunch was delicious and Joan's kindness, experience and local knowledge contributed to a wonderful group atmosphere. This is a must-do for those who seek a break from lying on the beach!"

"We really enjoyed our day trip with Juan! I never did kayak before so it was a very interesting experience. We saw the island from a different perspective and it was so beautiful! Juan knows all the hidden non-touristic places on the island and is happy to show it to you, like hidden cave's and beautiful beaches where we made some nice stops for exploring, snorkeling and even cliff jumping! You should definitely book this tip if you want to have a full Samos experience!"

"If you are looking for a paddling vacation, would like to land on exquisite beaches, explore sea caves in amazing cliffs and rock formations, eat the best home made Greek cuisine, all in the company of a guide that knows every feet of the coast and the minute details of weather, wind, and waves, then set up a trip with Joan and Eleni. My wife and I spent 5 days kayaking with Joan as part of multi-day trips that Joan holds several times in the year. We were 4 persons including Joan, who limits multi-day trips to small groups. October was untypically windy, so Joan adjusted the route to optimize for the changing weather, Altogether, we paddled on all sides of the islands, with 2 nights camping and the rest sleeping indoors. The variety of scenery during the 5 days was amazing. From long sand beaches to towering cliffs, from green wooden slopes to barren rocks. Paddling among rocks and into sea caves. Sea condition also varied from calm water to tail winds to some stretches of paddling against the wind. Our daily stops and night camps were a treat with Eleni's home-made, delicious, Greek food. Joan and Eleni took care of all our needs and wishes. More important, we were welcome into their family and had a chance to spend time together and experience their way of life in Samos. As the reader might have guessed by now, we had the time of our life. We have paddled before in other parts of the Greek Islands as well as in other countries, and this trip was among the best, if not the best. Go for it..."

"This was quite a unique experience. Joan is a great trip leader and tailored it to the skills of the group and to the weather conditions. The boats are in good condition and the cooking skills of Joan, Eleni and Martha are awesome! We visited some glorious beaches, explored and snorkelled in azure caves and slept on beaches with the Milky Way stretched overhead. I'll be back !"
