Planning a trip to Mykonos often involves beaches, lively nightlife, and picturesque towns. But what if you could add a layer of wellness and tranquility to your island adventure? That’s exactly what the Mykonos Yoga On Waves tour offers—a 3-hour journey that combines a scenic boat ride, a calming yoga session on Rhenia’s beach, and plenty of opportunities to unwind.

This experience is perfect for travelers seeking a peaceful escape, combining the natural beauty of the Aegean with mindful relaxation. We particularly love the way it offers a mix of gentle adventure and genuine wellness, all in a private group setting that feels intimate and personalized. One thing to keep in mind: the timing and duration mean it’s not ideal if you’re after a full-day excursion, but rather a beautifully curated half-day retreat.

Who will enjoy this? It’s best suited for those looking to relax, practice yoga in nature, or enjoy a charming boat ride without the crowds. If you’re after energetic parties or extensive sightseeing, this might not be the right fit. But for anyone craving a peaceful connection with the sea and some mindful movement, this tour hits the mark.

What the Experience Is Like

The journey begins at Ornos pier, where a small boat awaits to whisk you away into the Aegean. The boat ride itself is a highlight—gliding along the coast of Delos, you’ll be treated to stunning sea views and a sense of adventure. Guests have noted that the boat ride is “beautiful and peaceful,” giving ample opportunity to snap photos or simply enjoy the sea breeze.

As you cruise, your guide (likely the skipper) shares interesting tidbits about Delos, a site famed for its archaeological importance and energy fields. While not a full historical tour, this aspect adds a layer of cultural richness to the journey, perfect for those curious about the island beyond its sun-drenched beaches.

Arriving at Rhenia’s beach, the real highlight begins. Michaela, the yoga instructor, guides you through a 60-minute yoga session set in the sand, surrounded by the sound of waves and the scent of the sea. Reviewers mention her as “a calm, very professional instructor,” making beginners feel comfortable while still providing a meaningful experience for seasoned yogis.

Post-yoga, you’re encouraged to take a swim in Rhenia’s clear waters. Snorkeling gear is available, and the calm seas make this a restful, refreshing activity. Many guests appreciate how this segment allows them to cool off and relax after the physical practice.

On board, organic refreshments, fruits, and healthy snacks are served—think detox smoothies, fresh fruit platters, and herbal teas. This nourishing aspect adds a wholesome touch, perfect after yoga and swimming. It’s clear that the focus here is on wellness, not just sightseeing.
