“The trip exceeded our expectations. We were lucky with a less crowded boat with plenty of space to enjoy food and drinks on board. The staff was very kind and tried to create a friendly atmosphere by sharing their names and the landmarks along the route. I particularly liked that they were announcing the food the chef was preparing and that you could order on board, it made the experience more personalised. The time at the stops was long enough to enjoy the places without getting bored. All of the stops were worthwhile. I recommend this experience!”

Our buggy experienced a mechanical problem about 10 min into the tour, thankfully, a replacement was quickly brought to us so we could continue the day. Lunch was included, and a couple other stops including a refreshment break. Also the two boat trips were very good. This was December 2025 and we can say we’d like to do it again. It was fun!!”

They had the music going, the drinks flowing, and enough food to feed an army! They also made us feel comfortable and safe going into all the caves and doing the cliff jumps! They shared some cool things about Greece and the islands and we went to so many beaches you cant access by land! We couldn't have asked for a better experience! 10/10 recommend”
