What people are saying about Faliraki

I went to Rhodes with my boyfriend in July 2022 and it was the best experience of the whole holiday! The instructors are friendly and sociable, they guide you calmly right from stretching on the beach. It was nice to explore the coast by sea and learn so many curiosities! There have been many occasions in which beautiful souvenir photos have also been taken underwater. Before returning we had a delicious break inside a cave with so many delicacies prepared by them, what can I say? We even did an encore! Thank you very much indeed

It was a very nice trip. We had light waves and went into 2 smaller bays and visited 3 bays. At the third bay we went snorkeling and saw many smaller fish. During the tour our guides gave us little facts and stories about the island of Rhodes and also engaged in conversation during the lunchtime snack. During the first bay we jumped out of the kayaks and went for a quick swim. Unfortunately we didn't see any seals. It was a great experience from the introduction on the beach to the farewell drink at the end point.

A lot of fun to do! They are fun instructors who have a lot to tell about the history of the coastline. I can heartily recommend it to everyone. Only my cousin of 2.05 meters had some trouble steering because of his height haha. 10/10 I would do it again in a heart beat.

The experience was perfect right from the pickup and all through the introduction, the kayaking, the history anecdotes, the snorkeling and swimming, the lovely homemade lunch, and the photos received after getting back. It was a perfect treat while being a great workout.

My husband and I enjoyed this tour very much! The tour guides and our driver were super friendly and everything was well organized. The picnic was delicious! The kayaking on the crystal clear water was amazing and this will be day we will always remember.
