Samara Kayak & Snorkeling Tour to Isla Chora
Paddle a sea kayak from Samara Beach to Isla Chora, snorkel in calm shallow water, then enjoy a fresh fruit snack on the island before paddling back. Gear included.
Isla Chora is a must while you're in Samara. This small island sits just off the beach, and the best way to reach it is under your own power, paddling a sea kayak across the calm water of the bay.
There are two routes, depending on the tide and your group. The first starts from the center of Samara Beach, with a 30–40 minute paddle each way to the island. The second starts at the south end of the beach, with a shorter 10–15 minute paddle each way. Once you reach Isla Chora you'll take time to rest and rehydrate, then snorkel in shallow water to discover tropical fish and other marine life.
After snorkeling, enjoy a snack of seasonal fruit and drinks on the island before paddling back to shore.
