Corfu: Luxury Full-Day Cruise to Paxos, Antipaxos & Blue Caves

Really enjoyable day out visiting beautiful islands of Paxos and Anti Paxos and the Blue Caves, the crystal clear blue waters to dive into were amazing Interesting commentary about Corfus coastline

Honestly this was the best day of our entire holiday and I think it’s great value for money with how much you actually get to see and do. The staff on the boat are so accommodating, they’re fun and make sure your trip is the best experience it can be. I would recommend trying to get on to the boat as early as possible so you can get a good seat (especially if you want to get upstairs) as it can be very busy. You’re a little bit packed in but it’s definitely worth the experience. A pre-warning to anybody expecting to get to the destinations quickly - you don’t! And that’s fine as long as you’re aware of it. Going between the islands can be a bit rocky but it’s fine as long as you aren’t too sea sick. It’s worth being a bit nauseous for though! The caves are insanely cool. Honestly you don’t realise the scale of how big they actually are! And you haven’t lived until you’ve swam in the crystal clear waters of Antipaxos. They give you plenty of time to have a swim off the boat which was definitely the highlight of the trip. I have never seen bluer water! Highly recommend taking the time to explore the local restaurants and shops once you get to Paxos too. It feels very different to Corfu. If you like cats it’s even better as they’re everywhere and so friendly. The way back is honestly some of the most fun you’ll ever have. Great music, drinks on happy hour prices and plenty of time to make the most of the time you have for the journey back. I hope to return to Corfu in the near future just so I can experience this again.

Very good choice for a cruise in Corfu

The best experience, lovely welcoming staff and so much fun!! So well planned too. Deinfitrly recommend 🩷

Excessive duration, 10 hours of which 5 are navigation with deafening engine noise and music. Avoid it

The trip to Paxos takes 3 hours, with only two stops made instead of the three that were announced. The boat is extremely overcrowded and the trip is not worth 80€ per person.

Definitely oversold the boat which made the long moments at sea less pleasurable. That being said, the tour was well run in the sense we beat the crowds to both Paxos and Antipaxos gaining a moment of calm before the other ships arrived. Paxos was a little disappointing if you’ve already had the pleasure of Corfu Old Town, but the waters to swim in were so blue and clear. Probably not worth £60-70 or worth calling ‘luxury’ but a nice day out and good to see other parts of Greece.

This is marketed as a ‘luxury cruise’ to Paxos and Antipaxos, however rest assured there is nothing luxurious about it. Hear me out, nobody is so delusional to think that the price tag of 70 pounds per person would grant you the Saudi prince experience, but while common sense might tell you to lower your expectations, be prepared to bring them further down. So what this ‘luxury cruise ‘really is about? It is an overcrowded ferry where everyone sits on top of each other and is in each other’s way. If you don’t mind noisy families, unruly kids and adults with questionable manners in your personal space, this might just be your cup of tea. Should this not be the case, the first leg of this trip will already put in a feral mood; however you are stuck at sea, there is nowhere you can go, so suck it up buttercup! After a couple of hours you will have your 2 hours stop in Paxos, European capital of fridge magnets. I am sure the place is wonderful but the time you will have available on the island is just enough for a spot of lunch and a little pottering around. You will be able to appreciate an indefinite number of souvenirs shops of variable quality, before going back to the cattle transport and head to the swimming spot , approximately 15 minutes away. Now one thing you need to know is that you are not getting to the beach, you are jumping from the boat and you have a cordoned patch of wonderful blue water in front of said boat, and approximately two hundred people using it. The lower deck will look like an all you can eat buffet in a cheap hotel, with kids pushing through under the watchful eyes of parents who just don’t care. As you finally jump in the water you will consider swimming out of the cordoned patch in front of the boat to put some space between yours and the crowd, and to avoid being hit by human cannonballs coming from the deck, however you will have to swim back to your patch as another overcrowded boat will be approaching to unload another army of the dead in the water patch next to yours. After 1 hour is time to get back on board and head back home, after a quick visit to the caves. The whole ordeal lasts approximately 10 hours and I can imagine a number of things I would rather do, like putting my head in a hornet nest , my toes in a wood chipper or take a bath with my toaster, but maybe that is just me. Overall a really bad experience. Save the money and do something else instead …oh by the way the WiFi on board Is very slow or not working at all, depending on how the Gods feel in that particular moment, so you might want to bring a book and noise-cancelling headphones if you really must

The trip was amazing from start to finish! Immaculately organised and great for the whole family. Tour guide was amazing and informative and the views were impeccable! The boat was fantastic and exactly at described and a well stocked bar with air con! Great party on the way back as well!

A great experience and swim spot! The stuff was very attentive with my sister and offered her lemons when she felt unwell (which works!). The facilities are well kept too. Good vibes overall so definitely recommend :)
