Unforgettable boat tour !

This is probably the best boat tour for the price ! Although it was an over an hour from our location in Naxos , the actual drive through the mountains was breathtaking! We were warmly greeted upon arrival by Dimitris ans Ianis. They provided insightful information throughout the tour . We had two swim stops and even got to swim in Rina cave . We Had some delicious tomato and cucumber salad along with wine on the boat . It was a small group and a very local feel. I highly recommend this tour !

A highlight of our Greek island holiday!

We took the traditional boat trip to Rina Cave from Panermos with the family, and it turned out to be one of the best outings of our entire Greece trip. From the moment we stepped aboard, the hospitality was warm and genuine — making us feel like locals. The cave itself was magical. Swimming into Rina Cave with its crisp, crystal-clear water was an unforgettable experience, and diving off the overhang was an absolute thrill for us all. The water was so clear you could see straight to the bottom. Back on the boat, the crew had a few more surprises in store that made the day even more special and memorable. It's the kind of outing that stays with you long after the holiday ends. If you're in the area, don't miss this one — perfect for families, couples or individuals and anyone looking to experience the real charm of the Greek islands. Highly recommended!

Best trip of the holiday

Ioannis and crew were super welcoming, and very hospitable. Loved the small boat and the chance to chat to other visitors and the crew. Stunning swim spots at the cave and one other beach.

This tour was our...

This tour was our favorite thing we did in Greece! The water was unbelievable, the cave was really cool, and cliff jumping was a super fun, safe experience. We went with our teenage sons are we all loved it! We stayed in Chora— so we rented a car to drive over and it was so worth it! Giannis was an incredible guide, informative, and made us feel completely welcomed. Highly recommend!

Operator response

Thank you so much! Hearing that we were your favorite experience in Greece means the world to us, especially knowing that your teenage sons loved it too! Giannis sends his best to the whole family. We wish you all good health, beautiful family moments, and many more fun adventures together. Safe travels!

The Highlight of Our Trip!

Our private boat tour with Gialitissa Family Boat Tours was truly one of the highlights of our trip! From the very beginning, their team was absolutely incredible. They stayed in constant communication via email, answered every question promptly, and were so helpful in creating the perfect itinerary for our afternoon. We were celebrating my daughter's birthday, and they went above and beyond to make it unforgettable. They surprised her with a birthday candle, recorded a special video of the crew singing "Happy Birthday" to her on the boat, and even took beautiful photos of our family throughout the tour for us to keep. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch that meant so much to us. The entire experience was seamless, professional, and exceeded every expectation. You can truly tell they care about creating unforgettable memories for their guests. I honestly cannot recommend Gialitissa Family Boat Tours enough. They are, without question, one of the best companies we've ever traveled with. If you're considering a private boat tour, don't hesitate—book with them! You will absolutely not be disappointed.

This was a highlight of our trip. Yannis was a great guide. The drive to Panermos was challenging but so worth it. We enjoyed seeing Naxos from the water, swimming at Rina Cave and relaxing on the boat. Highly recommend.

Great excursion!

Great way to see south side of the island and enjoy calm waters. My kids love to cliff jump and this was a fun and safe way to jump. Short boat ride with some history of the island. We took our own snorkel gear. We didn’t really use it. They take amazing pictures and videos of everyone in the cave and jumping off. They sent them the next day. Great quality. They do not charge extra for pictures and this is so nice. Fresh greek salad on the way back. Great experience!

Operator response

Thanks a lot for the review! Really glad your kids had fun cliff jumping safely and that you liked the photos and videos we sent over. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Must do tour… get gas before

You HAVE to do this boat trip. It was perfect, no notes. Really cute boat, not too many people, great swim spots. Captain and guide were fun and brought genuine greek hospitality. The road takes awhile and LISTEN up… there are no gas stations after Filoti, about halfway there. So fill up before. We were one of two groups on our noon tour who were running low and worried we wouldn’t make it back.

Operator response

Thanks a lot for the review! Really glad you enjoyed the boat, the swim spots, and our hospitality. And thank you for the great tip about the gas station after Filoti—that's super helpful for future guests! Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Loved it!

Such a fun time! Enough time to see and swim in the cave if you don't want to or cant spend all day on a bat. The stop at a nearby bay for more swimming. Perfect excursión. Also, the details were nice, such as them taking photos and video for you and the Greek salad and wine at the end.

Operator response

Thank you so much! Happy to hear that the photos, video, and wine made the trip even better for you. Have a wonderful holiday and safe travels!
