Activity Descriptions
Canyoning
This involves you descending a dry canyon through the mountains. It will entail walking/climbing down rocky slops and lowering yourself off a cliff face backwards while secured to a safety line. Very exciting and a fantastic opportunity to explore the real “Wild Crete” of your dreams. You will be guided by an experienced instructor who knows the terrain perfectly. Open to all levels of ability. Abseils in the canyon can be very small of around 5 meters up to 50 meters high or more. Obviously we choose the level of technical difficulty according to your wishes. Half day activity.
Climbing
Open to all levels of ability, a traditional outdoor activity. Involves climbing on natural rock while attached to a rope and belay system. We use single pitch climbs only, however there is a great variety in levels of difficulty. The climb can be chosen to suit the level of ability and wishes of the client. Half day activity.
Coasteering
Open to all levels of ability. Coasteering is an activity that will take you on a trip following the coastline at sea level. You will climb along the rocks at sea level, jumping of cliffs into the sea, swimming and exploring hidden coves and bays. Great fun for all, a very popular activity, we offer half day trips.
Sit On Kayaking
Open to all levels of ability. Kayaking is traditionally the use of single seat closed cockpit style often associated with the Eskimo culture. We use sit on kayaks which are much more stable and more simple to use. We have two seat sit on kayaks so you can partner up with your friend or family. Our sit on kayak sessions will take you on a coastal trip to visit deserted beaches, uninhabited islands and places of interest. Alternatively we can take you on a river trip to look for turtles and other wild life.

Alternatively we can offer a full on day or multi day mountain expedition. In the Lefka Ori, this is a great opportunity to explore the wild scenery and hidden places of Crete.
Raft Building
Open to all levels of ability. You are given some large plastic barrels, wooden poles, ropes and paddles. In teams you then have to design and build your own raft out of the pieces you are given. You will then have an obstacle course to race your raft round against the other teams. Half day session.

Snorkelling is open to all levels of ability. Crete has some of the best waters in the world to discover snorkelling. Full instruction and equipment is provided. This is a half day session that fits well alongside coasteering or for just a lazy day activity.
