It was a super fun day. Staff very enthusiastic and friendly. They enjoy themselves as if they are doing this trip for the 1st time. Maximum of about 6o people instead of the very large luxury ships where at least 200 people went.
We had a lovely trip with Odyssey boat. The stuff were very friendly and we enjoyed it as much as we could. Thank you
I went with my eldest adult son and had a fantastic day cruising around seven of the Ionian islands. Very impressive guide who is the son of the owner and who is able to speak in four different languages about the area. Understood and managed my coeliac requirements brilliantly and provided a very satisfying barbecue lunch on a private beach which they have access to. Lots of opportunities to jump off the boat and swim. Would thoroughly recommend doing this trip. Excellent value for money and less crowded than the other bigger boats with much more on offer.
Just fantastic; top-notch welcome, fun, and great food
Very beautiful experience, with a human-sized boat, respect for the sites visited in a tourist setting in a family atmosphere, father and son work together. Be careful, it is noted start at 9 a.m., you have to understand departure at 9 a.m. sharp, knowing that in summer in the morning in Nydri there can be some traffic jams in the city and you have to find parking. Plan plenty of time to be on time.
A perfect day on the Ionian Sea! Gerry and his crew took us out for a wonderful adventure. No crowds and clean swimming spots, plus a delicious beach lunch with more than enough home made food. We will be doing this excursion the next time we are in Greece!
Absolutely loved this boat trip. Made to feel very welcome and looked after. Lots of opportunity to swim and snorkel. Great stories and tales told, lots of fun and laughter with some history thrown in too. Really enjoyed the stop at Meganisi and the walk up to the village. Definitely recommend it for a day out. Lunch was delicious. Thank you for a special day.
A truly unique experience! Beautiful beaches, crystal clear sea, and lunch on the beach... So far it might seem like the usual boat excursion, but it is not. What makes the difference is the captain, his son, and the entire crew: exquisite people who convey incredible passion. They know how to combine history and culture with moments of pure fun and laughter, while always remaining professional and kind. There are no comparisons that hold up; in Nidri, this excursion is an absolute MUST. Go with confidence, zero regrets!
Wow! What a cruise! This is a brilliant trip. Don't think about booking it, just BOOK IT!! The captain and crew are just fabulous- so entertaining and knowledgeable. Brilliantly organised and wonderful food on a stunning, secluded beach. This really is a must!
This was our second time taking this amazing trip, and it was just as wonderful as the first! The captain and crew are incredibly friendly, helpful, and truly make the experience a 10 out of 10. The lunch served is some of the best food I have ever eaten. I highly recommend this boat tour, whether you’re traveling with children, friends, or family. No matter who you go with, you’re guaranteed to have an unforgettable day at sea. ❤️
