- michaelaC2312DD0 contributionsWonderful day cruiseBooked at the last minute, best choice ! The crew was great, our stops were beautiful and enjoyable, lunch was plentiful and delicious! Would highly recommend!Written 30 September 2024
- MelbourneAnglo0 contributionsExcellent boat cruise - good value - good food - great staffThis boat trip is excellent. Yes, there are a lot of people on the boat but we made a lot of new friends from all around the world. The trip starts from Agia Anna Small Port and goes first for maybe 2 hours along the coast of Naxos, with a bit of a commentary. Then you swing around the south coast of Naxos and you see the Small Cyclades. You cross the strait between Naxos and Koufonisia. This can be a little rough for people who are not used to boats. After this you pull into a very calm bay on Koufonisia where you can swim and snorkel in beautiful clear water. Then the tour goes on to Koufonisia town which is incredible - like every best Greek postcard, little streets with white houses and blue doors and windows. There are bars, restaurants and shops. You have over 2 hours here and there is a beach too. Last, the boat takes you to Rina cave on south Naxos where you can swim in clear water inside a cave! Then the trip home. It is a long day out (maybe 10 hours). There is unlimited wine and some of the best food I have eaten in Naxos cooked on a BBQ on the boat. You can also buy beer and snacks cheaply. There are 4 crew and we always felt safe and very well looked after. Do not hesitate to book this trip - it is great value and an excellent experience.Written 20 September 2024
- scottaL8483WG0 contributionsFantastic day cruise to see south of naxosWe had an amazing time. We brought our two young daughters (5 and 8) who were able to participate in all the activities including swimming in the cave. They even had colourings books to keep our girls entertained for the trip!Written 6 September 2024
- erlangabrielf0 contributionsHad the time of my lifeThis trip was amazing. We were greeted very kindly by the employees. All of the places we visited were very beautiful. Me and my girlfriend had a wonderful time together. The water was crystal clear in all of the 3 stops. The swimming googles they offered were perfect. The music was also good. The food was insanely delicious. For a while I had this kind of trip in my bucket list. It went beyond my expectations. Thank you to the team :)Written 2 September 2024
- sharonpD7250HL0 contributionsThe Best Cruise Company in NaxosThis was an amazing tour. The most beautiful water I've ever seen. The views were spectacular. The crew were so lovely and accommodating and the lunch was excellent. Met some great people too. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Naxos and would do it again.Written 30 August 2024
- Tiziana K0 contributionsWe recommend!The crew was very nice, Polina very friendly and helpful! Ano Koufonisi was a gem! The sailing a bit long from Naxos to the other stops. We got a bit wet from the waves on the way. But it was refreshing haha. Food was good but we got hungry by the end. They got snacks on board. In general we had a beautiful time. Thank you for the unforgettable experience!Written 28 August 2024
- GoPlaces7375630 contributionsCustomer ServiceUnfortunately, we didn't get to experience this. We were really looking forward to the boat trip, but when we arrived, my Daughter was very anxious and would not go on. I let the lady on the boat know and she immediately replaced us with people waiting. She said she would process. I thought this meant process a refund. My partner went down to the port in the evening to confirm, but they said they hadn't said we would get a refund. I spoke to the man on the phone. He said he didn't like the way I was speaking to him, but I wasn't speaking horribly, I just said they had replaced us and hadn't lost any money? He then didn't like it that my partner said the same. I know they don't have to refund anything but just thought in the circumstances it would have been good customer service to give a refund, or part refund as its not cheap.Written 12 August 2024
- Anna K0 contributionsMagical!Amazing experience!! Everything was fantastic, the crew, the BBQ, the atmosphere, the dives from the boat, the clearest blue water I have ever seen. It was magicalWritten 22 July 2024
- JudeC640 contributionsAmazing, third cruise with Jason July 2024Jason’s boat from Agia Anna port. We went on it for 5th year last week. It cos €80 euros pp I think, it’s worth every penny. The crew make it such a memorable time, it’s a fabulous trip, I highly recommend for anyone, if you do one trip. Paulina makes everyone very welcome, she is a beautiful and friendly lady. Sails down the west coast and stops so you can have a swim or snorkel. You can go down the vertical steps either side of boat or jump off! Vest floats and noodles, goggles provided. Then we sail to the heavenly gorgeous Koufonissia. We have stayed a few years. The beach and sea is just amazing, the colour. No sun beds on the beach which keeps the beach unspoiled. Lovely bars and tiny shops selling beautiful items up the path off the beach. We had 2 1/2 hours (never enough!) lol you’ll want to return. Then sail to Rina caves on the way back to port. Again, a short stop for swimming. The food provided on the boat is excellent. Pork souvlaki cooked right in front of you at the stern of the boat. Potatoes, salad, tzatziki, bread, it’s truly delicious. They also cater for vegetarian, allergies. Wine and soft drinks are free on the boat, just help yourself. The boat leaves port at 9.30am and I think we arrived back in port at around 7.30pm approximately. All the crew are wonderful, help people in and off the boat courteously. I can highly recommend the trip, we had such a fabulous day! We have visited Naxos for 10 years now (less two due to covid time). We just adore Naxos, the island, the people are lovely. I have made some lovely friends on the island. Sorry for the long post, but my enthusiasm gets me carried away! 🥰🤣🇬🇷❤️Written 21 July 2024
- Beckypayne0 contributionsA perfect day!What a brilliant day! So well organised, boat busy but not overcrowded- plenty of room for everyone. Food was excellent - very fresh. A long day but such good value for money. The crew were fabulous - so friendly! Do not hesitate to book this trip!Written 13 July 2024
- 455craigk0 contributionsGreat value and fun tourBetter than expected value for our group of four. The boat is relatively small for the number of people on the tour, but we didn't feel that crowded. Outstanding staff and the tour is run like a well-oiled machine. Timing of the stops is exactly as advertised, and the BBQ lunch after the first swim was surprisingly very delicious. They keep you hydrated with lots of water, white wine, fruit, etc. No real safety briefly to start though (i.e. where's the life jackets?) or anyone really monitoring you (that I saw anyways) while in the water, so please ensure to keep an eye on your group if there's any kids or weaker swimmers. They do provide pool noodles to float and masks for those who want them. Also, be prepared for long rides (+2 hours each way) from the port and return, but an outstanding excursion for the price. We were also fortunate to see a couple of dolphins during our return trip. Highly recommended.Written 15 June 2024
- nomadspath0 contributionsAmazing cruise to Koufonisia!Amazing day trip to Koufonisia, friendly staff , nice lunch! We had the opportunity to meet also sea turtles and dolphins!! Highly recommended!Written 7 June 2024
- J1864NUsarahm0 contributionsLovely day tripReally lovely day trip, with plenty of opportunities to swim from the boat and see parts of the islands we wouldn't otherwise have seen. The crew were brilliant and were so welcoming and enthusiastic all day.Written 1 June 2024
- yorkieg20150 contributionsGreat Day Out!We really enjoyed our day out on this boat trip. It’s not a ‘booze cruise’ and the music was not too loud, which suited us. The staff were fantastic, friendly, attentive and informative. The swimming and BBQ stop was great. There was enough time to swim to the small beach and back to the boat for a well cooked BBQ with a salad and wine. The stop in Koufinisi was about 2.5hrs, but easily filled by visiting one of the beachfront bars and swimming in the beautiful clear water from the white sandy beach. The short stop at the cave was good fun too. The return trip was a little rough, but the crew were very skilful in avoiding crashing into the larger waves. Coffee and soft drinks are available all day. If you want a good value day out visiting stunning locations and don’t want all day drinking and partying, then this is the cruise for you.Written 30 May 2024
- F5248LTcolleens0 contributionsUnforgettable experienceMy friends and I had an unforgettable day on this cruise! We took the boat from Naxos, all the way to Koufonissi (which is a spectacularly beautiful island) and the Rina Cave. The crew was so fun and welcoming. They played music, they gave us information on important landmarks and even provided snorkels and floaties to go in the caves. It is worth every penny to see the beautiful scenery and landscape of the Islands of Greece. Would highly recommend!Written 10 October 2023

Very well organized tour. Staff on board helpful and friendly. Good quality of food. The only flaw is the excessive number of people. We were really many and this to the detriment of the comfort of the trip. Just limit the number of reservations (at least 10 people less) and it would have been an excellent experience!!!

The crews were all nice, very accommodating. Lots of drinks and the cooked barbecue meat were very tasty. We enjoyed all the 3 stops clean blue water and the shoreline of the white beach in Koufonissia is wonderful to swim at. The white sand is very fine… All the crews looked after everybody’s safety.

What an amazing experience, Ana and the crew kept us informed the whole way round the trip. The food was really tasty and plentiful as well as as much drink that you would like.
The trip itself was out of this world far exceeding what we had thought we would get. The stop over for a couple of hours in Koufonissia was a perfect amount of time to see the turquoise water and enjoy the beach. Then the cave experience we didn’t expect at all the kids jumped off and into the water which rounded off a perfect trip. All in all I can’t recommend this trip enough for anyone who wants a whole day out and not to get bored but to also make memories. A++++++

The boat trip was one of our favourite days of the holiday. We are vegetarian so was dubious of the lunch however we were very surprised that it was very enjoyable. The host and staff are very friendly. You have a full day out with 3 stops, great for swimming and exploring another island. The best part for us was Rina cave which is a great experience. Overall we highly rate this trip

What a great day out! Its a long day 930am to 7pm but the 3 stops were stunning- so well organised and a really tasty lunch, amazingly prepared on the boat! The little island of Koufonisia was so beautiful and there's a lovely boutique shop by the beach selling locally made jewellery. The staff on the boat were so friendly and really good at letting you know what timings were and where we were going. The only downside is it's quite crowded on the boat so not easy to sunbathe unless you're at the front but apart from that it was an excellent trip 👌

It is a perfect trip hopping along the coastline with a funny crew and amazing views for the whole day. It is informative, fun, and a great time to meet others who are staying on Naxos Island or are just moving through for an island-hopping day.
The onboard Food cooked by the crew was really well done and perfect after a lovely first swim of the day. The next stop was the town of Koufonisia on an island called Koufonisia, a beautiful stay with the most crystal blue water I have ever seen.

I highly recommend this boat trip. I went with my husband and two kids (10 and 12). Swimming and snorkeling at Kato Koufonisi and at Rina Cave were so enjoyable. Ano Koufonisi was beautiful, with water of the most vibrant colors of turquoise, a great beach in town, and a nice town to explore. The boat crew was very friendly and safety conscious. The boat, while it carried many people and was somewhat crowded, was still comfortable. There was lots of shade on the boat if you wanted it. The lunch the crew provided was tasty.

Really good value for money! Very enjoyable, well run trip. Be aware this trip does not leave from main town of Naxos, but easily accessed via cheap bus ride about 20 minutes from Naxos town. Food good, lots of free soft drinks, water, and even unadvertised wine.

Pretty neat visiting a remote island. The beach was made out of pure pebbles and larger rocks. Water is super clear.
The ribs cave was also a fun experience. Gets shallow once you reach the end of the cave. We were lucky to encounter bioluminescent algae while we were there.
A must do trip. Great price and great hosts.
Recommend to be a good swimmer and or use noodles while in the water.

We took the day-cruise to Koufounisi in early August (was recommended by our hotel).
Everything was just great-the views, the sea, the places we stopped, the food, and especially the crew!
We were also lucky enough to see flying fish and dolphins…
We’ll definitely repeat this the next time we’re in Naxos–can’t recommend enough!
