Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

By far one of the best experiences of our lives! We had a fun, relaxing and happy day with Captain Ben's. The whole crew was amazing, helpful and had great humour, and they were always checking on us. The way they divided people on the boat was great, everyone had their space and felt comfortable. Food and drinks were amazing - and plenty. The stops were very strategic and this was by far the most beautiful water we have ever seen. The activities were wonderful as well! We were able to dance, sing, swim, jump from the boat and slide down an inflatable slide. A huge thank you to the whole crew - we hope to be back soon!

Was the best day spent in Paros travelling around the island! Captain Ben is an absolute legend and his team worked really hard and amazingly to ensure everyone was having the best time! Met amazing people and ate some delicious food! (Good vegetarian dishes)

We found Captain Ben’s Lazy Day boat trip on TikTok and it did not disappoint! Our favourite day in Greece, it was so well organised with 5 different stops to beautiful blue lagoons, caves, swimming spots and even a private beach. Pool noodles & snorkels were provided, plenty of food and drinks along the way too. Definitely great value for money, the staff on board were friendly, fun and created a great atmosphere. Was easy to book via email, they also organised pick up/drop off from our accommodation. Highly recommend for a memorable experience in Paros!

A well run operation giving everyone lots of opportunities to swim in locations around the island. Noodles provided to keep everyone safe. Plenty of food and drink provided throughout the day including barbecued octopus and calamari served with ouzo. The inflatable slippery dip was a bonus. Spontaneous dancing of Zorba added to the atmosphere.

This day trip was one of the highlights of our time in Paros! They had a great selection of swimming spots and a fantastic homemade lunch. We really enjoyed the fun upbeat music, free access to snorkelling gear and the water slide. We were excited to support a family owned business and we felt so welcome aboard their boat. We strongly recommend this swimming tour to enjoy the best of Paros & Antiparos!

I have just finished a day cruise with the team onboard Captain Ben. It was one of the most structured and organised tours I have been on without it being schedule based.
The team participated, supported and encouraged all the guests in such and awesome way. They also reminded everyone to be careful of the hot sun to make sure we were hydrated (huge water fountain onboard) on top of snacks, drinks, lunch and fruit.
Highly recommended if the opportunity awaits and good value for money.

This activity exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped on board to the final breathtaking moments of the sunset, this cruise was an absolute highlight of our trip!
Captain Ben's crew was nothing short of amazing. With our group of 38 people on board, their attentiveness and dedication to ensuring everyone's safety and comfort were truly commendable. They made us feel like one big, happy family, and their friendly demeanor added to the overall enjoyment of the cruise. Their professionalism was evident in how they managed such a large group seamlessly.
Captain Ben took us to some of the most picturesque swimming spots around Paros. Crystal-clear waters and hidden coves awaited us at every stop. These spots are a true paradise for water lovers.
The inflatable slide was an absolute blast! It added an element of excitement to the cruise that both kids and adults thoroughly enjoyed. It was the perfect way to cool off and have some high-seas fun.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, we were treated to a delectable dinner on board. The flavors of Greece came alive with a variety of dishes that catered to all tastes. Dining on the deck, as the stars began to twinkle, was a truly magical experience.
The entire cruise offered breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. However, as the sun began its descent, the scenery transformed into something out of a dream. Watching the sky explode with shades of orange and pink while sailing on the tranquil waters was a moment that will forever be etched in our memories.
Captain Ben's Group Sunset Cruise is an absolute must-do activity when visiting Paros, Greece. It's an experience that truly captures the essence of this enchanting Greek island!

This was the single best thing we did in Greece. So much fun. If you weren’t swimming in the most beautiful water you’ve ever seen, you were eating, drinking, dancing, or belting out the mama Mia soundtrack. Food was amazing too.

A family run business offering a truly entertaining way to enjoy the seas around Antiparos and Paros.
Active day of swimming in a number of beautiful locations, great food and all round fun.

Hello! It is currently November 2023 and I’m trying to book Captain Ben’s for May 2024, but I cannot get a hold of anyone. I have messaged through the website a few weeks ago and heard nothing. I saw a comment on trip advisor saying they reply through Facebook so maybe I will get a reply. I’m wondering if they are closed for the off season right now?? When did you hear back from them? Have you booked Captain Ben’s boat tours in the off season ??
If anyone could give any sort of help that would be great.

Oh, and it was high season!
My friend and I are booked to go on this trip- I’m 42 and she’s 51. We both like to have fun and have cocktails and stuff. Will this tour be “too young” for us?

I've been trying to find the prices online but I can't seem to find any.
What are the prices per person?
Do you guys operate all year round and if not, what months do you guys operate?

If you contact them through Facebook they will get back to you. I never heard back when I tried the email component on their website. We paid 50 Euro per person the day of because we paid cash (they told us price was negotiable with cash). Not sure how long they operate for but again send them a Facebook message they get right back.

Would this tour be appropriate to bring a small toddler? (16 month old)

Probably not unless you stayed underneath virtually the whole time and didn’t get to experience each swimming hole or the beach. I mean it’s do-able but would be difficult I could imagine.

Hi, i was just wondering if the price that I've read here on Trip Advisor (about 45€) does or doesn't include the lunch and everything?
Thanks!
