The one day tour to the two islands was fun, it was a nice escape from vacationing to one island and to go to other ones with low cost. The crew was friendly and fun and took great take care of us, especially Spiros and Ilias, we had a blast!
The Staff of the tour was very kind and helpful. Spyros and Elias made us feel at home
Our boat trip got canceled less than 24 hours before departure. And because it is peak August - everything else is fully booked. They put us on another boat trip but never came to pick us up. We woke up at 6am with a toddler and we’re left miserable. They don’t care about their customers. READ ALL THEIR NEGATIVE REVIEWS CAREFULLY and you will understand. This is not the first time and certainly will not be the last time that they left their customers hanging. I’m still waiting for a response from their company after 3 days - but of course - no one is ever gonna respond.
Absolutely brilliant and beautiful experience well worth every penny. The boat has adequate facilities for the trip you can buy food and drinks and the toilets were clean. Would recommend sitting in the middle if you can as gets really hot in the sun so a bit of shade helped.
Absolutely so disappointing Was told there was no pickup from our hotel so I paid 56 euro to go to the meeting point and be there by 8am as pickup was 820 I get a call from an annoyed lady at 830 saying there were at our hotel to pick us up. I told her we were at the meeting point to which she responded wrong and we needed to be at a different port. So disappointing
Experience meeting expectations. Punctual, helpful, and engaging.

Visit to the island of Paxos and swimming on the island of Antipaxos where the water was crystal clear. We then saw the blue caves on the way back. Return trip with a DJ who kept us entertained the whole way. I highly recommend, pleasant staff and incredible islands 😁

Fabulous experience! 😍 Really well-organized excursion, with a new, beautiful boat equipped with every comfort. The barbecue, served from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, was really pleasant and in the afternoon there was a fantastic DJ set that made the atmosphere even more fun and engaging. An experience I absolutely recommend, perfect for spending a day at sea dedicated to relaxation, good food, and fun! 🌊☀️🎶
