Daily Cruise - Koufonissia & Rina Cave

We had a great time on this boat cruise! Late September brought a cloudy and windy day, so a good portion of the journey was COLD, but we managed with plenty of layers and towels as blankets. We really liked our seats in the raised section at the front of the boat—we avoided most of the sea spray and foot traffic while still having a great view. Definitely arrive early if you want first choice in seats. We skipped swimming at the first stop because it was so chilly, but we were able to be first in line for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised by the food! The meat was grilled right on the boat, and everything else tasted incredibly fresh for being prepared in bulk. We especially loved getting to explore another island. Koufonisi was beautiful and gave us true small-island Mamma Mia vibes. We also lucked out with some sunshine at Rina Cave, where we were able to swim all the way into the cave and watch some of the braver guests cliff-jump. If swimming is important to you, get in the water quickly—the time goes by fast at the swimming stops! The bathrooms were also surprisingly better than I anticipated based on other reviews. They aren’t huge, but they were decently clean and there was enough space to change out of my swimsuit after swimming. There is definitely a lot of sailing time. I had seen some negative comments about the amount of time spent traveling between destinations, but I actually think that’s an important part of the experience. The scenery is incredible, and I loved getting to see the islands from the water. Our guides even got on the microphone a few times to tell us about some of the islands we could see and were passing. I would’ve loved even more information from the guides throughout the day! Overall, we really enjoyed our day and would recommend this experience!

The crew did a wonderful job on the tour. The food was great. The water was cold and it was very windy unfortunately, but still beautiful water. It was super clear and you could see all the way to the bottom while swimming. They supplied beverages and there is a bathroom on board. They also had pool noodles you could use to swim with

Well organised day trip. Great crew taking care of everyone. Coffee, wine, soft drinks and great BBQ included. Right amount of time for swimming and a walk around Koufonisia. Couldn’t fault it.

The trip was fun! The sea can be a bit rough, so if you are prone to sea sickness, wear a patch. You must be able bodied to go swimming since climbing up and down a ladder is required! The lunch was delicious! Great trip!

Beautiful sights with such an amazing crew! They kept us going when it got a bit chilly, the lunch was delicious and Koufonisi was spectacular!

Awesome day! Beautiful water for swimming, great food, and fun crew. One of our favorites days in Naxos!

The entire crew was amazing, the whole trip was fun and getting in the water was fun, Food was good and Christina was amazing !

Very much lively party vibes, we went more so for the transportation to great snorkeling spots which were great! Plenty of time to swim and snorkel, didn't feel rushed or pressured at all. Food was good 7/10, splits up the day nicely.

What a great day! Beautiful island. I could exist there!! The crew were so nice and tons of fun. I would highly recommend to anyone!!

Two olds, 83 and 85, we had a great time on the boat, Freedom. The crew were very helpful and considerate. Although most passengers were much younger and went swimming when we stopped, we still enjoyed ourselves greatly. Coffee was available as soon as we left Aghia Anna. The barbecue lunch was excellent and watermelon after the swim stop on the way home was very welcome. All crew were kind but outstanding was Elli who served lunch after lots of hard work by guys at the barbecue. Only criticism was that the side boarding gangway used at Koufounissi has a very high step. We have no hesitation in recommending this trip to anybody.
