Itinerary
Our day will start from the port of Kardamena, where our Pirate boat, will depart at 10am to start this unique cruise to the 3 islands.
Agios Antonios Island: Within the first hour, we will be arriving at the first stop which is the uninhabited island of St. Antonios. This island is a natural paradise and people can visit the church of St. Antonios to admire this point of view and the peace the place has to offer. Enjoy the rest of your time here, by swimming in the clear waters or just sunbathing under the Greek sun!
Our crew will have prepared a Greek BBQ for you in order to have your meal on board. Around noon, we will be arriving at the famous island of Nisyros. As soon as you get off the boat, you will be in Mandraki, the capital and the port of Nisyros. From here, you can optionally climb about 200 steps to reach the mountain Monastery of Panagia Spiliani. From this point, you can admire the panoramic view of Nisyros and the beautiful Orthodox Church of Panagia as it is one of the jewels of the island! If you just want to relax, explore the town with its unique atmosphere, stroll through the narrow streets, visit the souvenir shops and then go to Ilikiomeni square to enjoy a coffee, or maybe a traditional dessert! Optionally, participants have the option to visit the volcano of the island with an extra charge. Please request more information from the crew!
Yiali Island: Last but not least is the third stop at the island of Yali. Yali is a volcanic small island which belongs to the municipality of Nisyros and has only 21 inhabitats. With beautiful views of this island, spend time on the boat, sunbathe, try the best cocktails & drinks under the sun, test your diving skills and have a great fund and relaxing time!
That beautiful day around tree different island, has come to an end. At 17:30 we will be back to the port of Kardamena.

We really enjoyed this 3 island cruise. All the stops were amazing and we didn’t know the coach to the volcano was included so that was a bonus. 5 euros to get into the volcano. We enjoyed the food onboard. Didn’t look great but was tasty. Good amount of time at each stop. No interaction from the staff. All looked pretty miserable but this did not stop us having a good day. Boat was only half full so we were lucky.
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the 3-island cruise, the stops and the onboard experience. It is also great to know you appreciated the food and found it tasty, as well as the extra excursion to the volcano. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future.
This boat tour was a big disappointment. The staff was rude and unhelpful — one seemed even drunk. They had two large parrots in tiny cages, clearly stressed and screaming the entire trip. It was heartbreaking to watch and extremely noisy. They are not animal-friendly at all — the animals are just decoration for the boat. The sound system was awful, and the boat was overcrowded. We couldn’t hear food announcements due to the noise and were given less food than expected. The places visited were nice, but every boat goes there. I would never choose this tour again.

Firstly, the ship itself is great! Pirate decor everywhere. What isn’t great is the amount of people that had tickets, there wasn’t enough space for everyone. Meaning as a family of 4 with two young kids we had to sit on the end of a bench and the steps for the duration. First stop was beautiful! Perfect beach and good amount of time to stop. Then is was back on the boat for “lunch” two kebabs , piece of stale bread and some shreds of salad. Not great at all. At our paradise beach stop, the crew decided this was a great stop to unload the toilet, as I see crystal clear water being pumped full of toilet paper and actual turds floating around, to which an announcement was made “ you can now jump off the boat and swim”!! Suffice to say that put me off which was such a shame. ( I’m not being naive I do know this happens on boats but usually out in the ocean not on your swim stop!!) No reflection on the staff or crew, but the amount of rude people pushing and not letting young kids past on the stairs and deck was crazy! - another review said free for all, yep that’s right. Lastly, there was no friendless or interaction from the crew at all. No safety briefing , no history information, no pirates. Would not recommend for small kids

You want to experience a hateful day so don't hesitate, you will have a medley of lack of good manners, of respect, in short you want to waste a day that's where you need to be! The first island you will find yourself between a still exploited quarry, dead rats, and a sea without fish (don't overload yourself with mask and snorkel... Unheard of in Kos and elsewhere.... Lunch is not expected don't expect a starred restaurant but just edible, no luck.... The island of Nisyros is great, it's a beautiful destination, take a ferry because the rude man who runs this boat has no added value And for the rednecks, he has an attitude! there is a magnificent cove where you can jump from the boat with no supervision or security. This man is the Shame of Kos!

Beautiful tour and also cheap, with 40 euros they picked me up at the hotel in Kefalos and took us to Kos, then took the ship and went around with snack included. Very interesting with cheerful crew.

Very nice experience to share with whoever you want (both in the family and not). The captain person very friendly and nice. The tour of the islands is very nice and worth it!
La ringraziamo molto per la sua gentile recensione. Siamo felici di sapere che ha trovato l’esperienza piacevole e da condividere con la famiglia o con gli amici. Ci fa piacere anche che abbia apprezzato il capitano e la sua cordialità. La ringraziamo ancora e speriamo di darle il benvenuto a bordo in futuro.
We went as a family of 7 on this trip. The boat is clean and well kept. Crew are friendly and helpful. Well worth going to see Nisyros and St Anthony's. The last stop is a swim from the boat so part of our party didn't get off the boat (3 year old) but was a beautiful location
Dear Rachel, Thank you for giving us a perfect rating and a detailed recommendation about our boat and service! I am very pleased to hear that our crew made your day pleasant. Hope to see you again in the future! Best Regards, Mania from Online Sales Team
