Try not to miss this amazing day trip. A well organised family day out snorkelling in warm coves viewing the sea life below. Jamie's knowledge of marine life and Greek mythology is shared throughout the day. Super lunch provided on the boat. And if you don't fancy a swim just sit and enjoy the wonderful scenery and company. Thanks Jamie... More

What a great way to spend a day! Boat trip, ancient history, snorkelling, marine biology, and a great lunch. Jamie and Bill are fantastic hosts and nothing too much trouble. Jamies enthusiasm and knowledge of marine life is infectious, all together a great day out that's over too quickly

What a fantastic day! - educational, adventurous, entertaining, delicious food and memorable. This trip is a must for all able bodied swimmers between the ages of 5 and 105! Jamie expertly looked after pensioners, Italian speaking guests and us budding Jaques Cousteaux, but he was like an underwater Pied Piper with the children and teenagers, catching octopus, sea cucumbers, star...

From the moment we boarded the Agia Kiriaki, an old renovated caique we were made very welcome by Jamie and Bill his assistant. The small number of us on board (maximum 16) made it a friendly, personal group. He explained the day's format and even if you didn't want to enter the water you could laze on deck catching the...

Our trip with Jamie and Bill was definitely the highlight of our holiday. It was just a perfect day from start to finish. It also inspired us to buy snorkel equipment the day after our trip and we then spent the rest of the week snorkelling. Although we didnt have as much fun as the day we spent on the... More

My sons had a fantastic time snorkelling and learning about the sea creatures that were found during the day. Jamie's enthusiasm and knowledge of the islands, mythological history and marine life kept everyone engaged. Jamie and skipper Bill were very relaxed and accommodating especially of children who were not confident. My youngest son needed help at the start of the... More

There is so much to see and do around the waters of Fiscardo. Jamie and his Ionian Discovieries day trip is the perfect introduction to the area and the marine life. Super friendly with great service and very knowledgeable given his background in marine biology, Jamie makes marine discovery interesting and fun. Our two children (12 & 10) quickly became... More

A full day marine adventure from Fiscardo worth every second. Simply an amazing experience, handling, viewing and learning about Octopus, Starfish, Sea cucumbers etc., all gathered from the sea during the trip. Jamie delivers the day superbly on board his traditional fishing boat (with shade and loo's!) in a very personal, fun and informal style. The whole day was inspirational... More

Jamie and Bill's humour and efficient teamwork make this tour a fantastic day out. Their boat is the third team member and as important as them, makes a stable and important platform to the day. Guided by Jamie, who's enthusiasm shines through, we learnt about the local history and marine life, then went and enjoyed it, while Bill competently looked... More
