During our stay here as two couples, we thought we would rent some kayaks.
walked along the beach and was told one price on site, but when I messaged owner on wassap the price was 5 euros an hour cheaper.
on the. morning of rental they were having some problems with there card machine, but they di eventually get it to work after I was about to give in and leave.
Kayaks were nothing special and seats were not offered or supplied, so if you suffer with your back please be advised.
make sure you ask for life jacket as I felt they weren't going to offer.

Rented a padle board, 10 euro per hour. No problems.
Se payed in advance and without a clock I guess it can be hard keeping track of time, maybe better to take money after tripp.

Did both the crazy sofa and the fly fish. Great adrenaline and great value for the money. Place was not crowded and we were attended quickly.

Mixed review to be honest. Had a great parasail with my son, but they lost the video, and then two weeks later my wife and son did one too.
My wife and son went out for a parasail and returned 2.5 hours later!
They where first on the boat and due to weather had to sail off the normal area and go out further than normal, but they never told us that.
Firstly, they went for fuel 20 mins away.
Then other customers turned up in their private boats and had a parasail then got back on to their boats, whilst the people who got on first just sat there.
It seemed that people who may have paid more received a priority service.
Eventually, after 2 hours!, my wife and son got their flight. But didn’t get a dunk in the water. It seemed as though the members of staff didn’t care.
Meanwhile, I went back to the Centre to find out where they where and the owner got really angry with me. He blamed the weather and how they had to focus on safety!
I would say they are more focused on money than safety.
My wife mentioned that the go pro that was filming them turned off and the owner said it didn’t, it just does that! And in true fashion, it didn’t work ! But they did give us back our €20.
I would be mindful about booking, and I wouldn’t again due to the rudeness of the owner .

These people are con men. The person charged 50 euro for "50 minutes" on the jet ski. I repeated 50 minutes back to the guy just to make sure I had not misheard. He agreed and said 50 minutes. But when I got back from my trip, he tried to claim he said 15 minutes.
I know what I heard and there was no paperwork, they were trying their luck to get more money as 15 and 50 sound very similar. I refused to pay any more money and they tried to threaten me, so I called the Jet 2 rep, and they forced the con men to back down. They are unprofessional and a pack of liars. Avoid at all costs.

I had a nice experience with my girlfriend. Only thing I did not like is that the owner, the gentleman in particular not his son lied to us about being able to pay with card. In particular the owner said we cannot pay by card, but the next customer was able to pay with card. He clearly wanted not to pay the taxes that’s why he asked for cash instead of money!

Tried to go paragliding, got half way up in the air and was brought straight back down and dunked into the water with no warning or explanation. The water was full of oil from the boat which was all over our skin and clothes. Pretty scary experience when you have no idea what's going on and you're in the middle of the sea attached to a huge parachute.
We then tried to climb back on to the boat with very little help - very short ladder so was hard to climb. Back in the boat..still no explanation, don't think they spoke much english, but they didn't even TRY and explain what was going on. A speed boat came over and took us back to the shore...meanwhile the staff are frantically trying to clean the oil off their precious parachute...lol don't worry about your customers will you.
Once back at the shore we tried asking again what had happened and what went wrong...we figured the boat had broken hence the oil spill, but still no one tried to explain anything and not one single apology. A woman asked us to 'wait a minute' but we'd had enough by this point so we just walked off.
I understand problems can occur (such as boats breaking down) but the customer service was awful. We were left feeling scared and confused about what had happened, and our clothes were ruined by the oil and was all over our skin. Even one apology would have made things slightly better....oh well.
Would definitely not return.

If you stay far away from this company is better. I went with my friend to ask price for jet ski and paragliding. We came on agreement for the paragliding only cause i found the price for jet ski quite expensive. When the manager of kavvadas watersports realised that i am going in the closest coffeshop that were renting also jetski there in different prices he came back to me and he went to the manager of the coffee shop with aggressive style, telling him dont rent me jetski in better price than him. When i asked him why he is doing all this problem for nothing cause i am free to choose where to go and i wanted also to spent money for his services, he answered me that the coffee shop try to stole his bussiness all the summer like he is the owner of the beach. This guy is an amature cause in the end he didnt get anything because me and my friends dont like greedy people like him.

Και για να μην γράφω πάλι τα ίδια σε ανθρώπους που δεν αξίζουν ούτε φτύσιμο κάνω copy paste! Ευχαριστώ! Έχεις τόσο θράσος τελικά που μπήκες να σχολιάσεις και εδώ... Μα τόσο θράσος τελικά??και να λέτε και ψέματα σοβαρά? Δεν το πιστεύω αλήθεια! Ήρθατε στο μαγαζί και με ρωτήσατε αν υπάρχει τζετ σκι! Και σας απάντησα ναι! Σας είπα πόσο κοστίζει και μου είπατε είναι ακριβό και ότι η καφετέρια απέναντι σας το δίνει στο 1/3 στα χρήματα από εμένα φθηνότερο, ούτε καν μισή τιμή! Και σας είπα πηγαίνετε να το πάρετε αλλά αν συμβεί κάτι το λιμέναρχειο θα σας συλλάβει και εσάς αλλά και τον υπεύθυνο που σας το νοίκιασε γιατί πολύ απλά δεν έχει καμία άδεια Θ.Μ.Α. την οποία τυγχάνει να πληρώνω τόσα χρόνια για να κάνω αυτή την δουλειά! Και μου απάντησες : Α δεν μας πειράζουν εμάς είμαστε συνάδελφοι!(αστυνομικός η λιμενικός δλδ) και δεν ντρέπεσαι καθόλου γιαυτό έτσι? Δεν ντρέπεσαι που είσαι σε σώμα σε πληρώνει το κράτος και απαιτείς να νοκιασεις παράνομα και μαύρα χωρίς καμία άδεια και κανένα δίπλωμα!!! Και έχεις και το θράσος να μπαίνεις και να σχολιάζεις κιόλας! Κρίμα μεγάλο κρίμα που υπάρχουν ανθρωποι σαν κ σένα! Και σας πληρώνουμε κιόλας!! Αν είναι δυνατόν! Κρίμα έχετε πάει την Ελλάδα 100 χρόνια πίσω! Συγχαρητήρια!

Me and my other half decided to be a little adventurous and went paragliding, it was brilliant the equipment was good we were waiting a little but there were comfy chairs to relax on, the team were good very friendly and easy to chat to, the only thing letting them down is the price is a little steep for what it is but then I suppose taking into account the fuel and time etc... Other than that it was brilliant and will recommend to others they have loads of other fun options too, so take a look! :)

We had great fun with paragliding behind a boat through the wonderful Nidri bay and around the islands. Fantastic views on the mountains, water, islands, boats and the town. Our 12 year old enjoyed it as well. We also did a trip on the "crazy sofa", a large inflatable disc pulled as well by a boat. That was also fun for our 8 year old. Friendly service, equipment looked very well maintained. Definitely worth the money.
