Adventure, education, workout, and fun all in one activity. - This was an amazing adventure - views of Riomaggiore and Manarola, a great workout, cave exploration, and swimming with sea life! Our guide, Flavio, did an excellent job of guiding us to places we would not have explored by ourselves. We paddled all the way to Manarola, stopping at caves along the way, swimming, taking photos, and learning about the history of the area. When we got back, the owner, Francesco, asked us what we had planned for the evening, suggested a restaurant (Rio Bistro) and even called over and got us a table. It was an unforgettable adventure followed by an incredible dinner.

Rio kayak tour ! - Clavio our guide was informative, fun, adventurous and we had a great time. 2 hours of sea kayaking is not for everyone- we doubled up instead of 5 single kayaks. Sore back for my husband who has regular back issues - so be ready to work out!! :) Did much more than I thought we could Do. Caves- swimming- cliff jump- all incredible!! Happy Family

Amazing experience - My sister in law and I had an amazing experience! We loved this kayak tour. We kayaked, snorkled, swam, cliff jumped, and learned about the beautiful villages. It wasn't too difficult to kayak the sea although at times it was a little challenging with the waves.

Kayak adventure. - My wife and I hired a double kayak for 4hrs. All the team were friendly and helpful, giving advise on where to go and timescales for reaching each resort. Really well equipped with drybags, goggles etc. We were able to leave our extra belongings with the office. Fantastic experience and the team were great fun and made our day extra special. Would definitely recommend.

Not really worth the money, as we didn't see much! - It was okay - we had to walk into a little cavern via a pipe/stony bottomed shore to get into the kayaks, everyone in the group had doubles, which are more stable. We went to a cave that you can see from the top vista of Riomaggiore, about a 10 min row away, it was very dark with some 'teeth' like shapes in the 'roof'. The offer to swim into the complete darkness to a beach was not appealing to anyone in the group! We then had two options, to row to Manarola for a view from the sea or to go more wild and paddle through a canyon. Nobody wanted to voice a selection and although one guide had said we could split the group to do both, we all ended up being taken to the canyon, but it was too choppy to go through it. We then paddled back towards Riomaggiore to go into a small 'beach' area to pull up the kayaks and stand around for 15 mins. It wasn't a beach, but there was a small rockpool with plantation and small fish. Found this part a little dull. Then back to Riomaggiore (we were practically already there), for photos and that was it! Didn't feel like in two hours we saw anything and we only paddled probably 400m max away from Riomaggiore. I think all-in-all at the £78 per person price, we would have been better hiring our own kayak and having the option to go where we wanted. I will add that I gave the 3 stars for the guides, who were very chatty and nice, it was still an ok activity for some exercise and meeting other tourists (French and American), just not worth that. Had it been £40/45 a person, I could have given it 4 stars.
