What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
A unique experience of the old town of Chania. Floating by the Lighthouse and the beautiful buildings of the harbour, Giali Tzami and the old shipyards. Our meeting point is Honolulu beach as we start from the part of the city where the local tanneries used to be. We will stop at Lazareta island for swimming. Chania is by far the most beautiful prefecture of Crete and surely one of the most beautiful areas in Greece. The coastline is a gem for the area from its rugged and colourful rock formations until the gold sand beaches. On a kayak you are the lucky one to explore the remote areas and the famous spots and beaches escaping traffic, queues and crowds. Chania city can be full of surprises wether wondering around the old city alleys or having drinks with the famous Chania lighthouse (Faros).

    Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
    Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
    When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
    Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    What a fantasticly friendly and knowledgeable guide Harris is! I upgraded to a ‘caves’ kayak trip past beautiful coastline, with fascinating caves, culminating in a stop at the mouth of the Samaría gorge. Just beautiful! And in great company who made me feel so welcome as a sole traveller. What an adventure! High seas and some great kayaking. Can’t wait for the next time I return to Crete for more. A definite 5 stars 😊

    My husband and I spent our anniversary wit Haris kayaking the Rodopou Peninsula East. Haris is a fun-loving guide who clearly loves what he does. He took us to places we never could have found on our own, told us about the area, and made us feel welcome. The Rodopou Peninsula is amazing. Beachs you can only get to by water, ancient ruins, and - luck for us - a visit from a sea turtle. Haris is great, and we will definitely kayak with him again when we are back in Chenya!!

    We had an amazing morning with Haris! I booked this activite as an surprise for my partner and couldn’t have imagined anything better.

    The guide Haris was such a warm-hearted, genuine and funny person. We saw some unforgettable views and learned so much about Chania and Crete. Also the pictures and videos that the guide takes during the trip are so nice!

    Please, go and experience this yourself, we warmly recommend it to everyone visiting Hania! :)

    Haris took my wife and me, experienced sea-kayakers from the northeastern U.S., on a wonderful trip along Rodopos, one of the western peninsulas of Crete. He worked with us by email in the weeks before to find out our skill level, interests, schedule, and time; he paid special attention to the weaterh; and on the day he was prompt picking us up and gave us the whole afternoon to kayak along the huge walls of the Rodopos peninsula. The equipment he provided was great - 17' kayaks and Werner paddles. He was patient and good-humored and full of stories and advice about the area -- it was really a pleasure to kayak with him, at our own pace!
    I found his beautiful web-page only by chance (googling Kayak trips/Chania or something, rather than via TripADvisor), and I do hope that others discover Haris and his EXCELLENT guided kayak tours!

    *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
