Normally the youngest age we can accept on our full sea- kayaking courses in aged 10 and usually we cannot take unaccompanied children under the age of 12. Please see below for additional information regarding sea kayaking sessions we have arranged for younger children in 2008. Our British Canoe Union [BCU] courses include ALL the necessary equipment, leadership and instruction. No more than 4 participants will be included in each course You can mix and match any number of these sea- kayaking sessions as you wish, but please read the different activity descriptions prior to making your decision to book. We are able to provide training and assessment for British Canoe Union Star Test Awards, if you are interested in combining this into your Sea Kayaking experience with us, during you holiday, please indicate this is your initial enquiry. * We will advise you if your proposed sea kayaking booking is not going to be supervised by a BCU Coach, this rarely occurs. If this does occur, the session will still be supervised by a coach approved by Greek kayaking/Local authorities on Poros island. Due to this, the session content may vary from that shown on this page. |

| Sea Kayaking - is the ultimate freedom activity and provides you with a real feeling of personal control and adventure - being so close to the water – moving almost silently as you manoeuvre your kayak along the coast and many coves, there is no other activity that provides you with the flexibility to hop ashore almost anywhere to explore the coastline - have a swim - be close to nature and wildlife- or stop for lunch on a secluded beach, sea – kayaking is truly a unique and an extremely safe activity. The waters of Askeli Bay and the Saronic Gulf around the Island of Poros provide the ideal location to take part in sea - kayaking either as a beginner or as a base to improve your skills and explore the beautiful coastline with its turquoise clear water and the spectacular beaches that surround Poros. |
| We are a small independent company with offices in the UK, Greece and Holland. This ensures professional standards and provides a personalised approach for our customers for all our services and activities. We do not provide flights to and from Greece. On our site you will find ALL the information that you require to travel to Poros. We believe that in the era of low cost airlines, you get better value for money arranging these independently. |
