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.

We took an evening excursion (4:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m.). We were made very welcome by the crew members. We were placed in the boat so that everyone had a mattress and was positioned equally. The boat made 3 swimming stops (one at the lagoon, one at the caves and one at a beach). They have a slide and throw fries at us once in the water. They also have equipment (goggles, snorkels). The crew ensures the safety of passengers at all times. We are offered a drink at each stop. Throughout the excursion we are entitled to aperitif boards. The last stop is for the sunset around 8:30 p.m., while sipping an aperol spritz. It's absolutely beautiful. We paid 45 euros per person. It's definitely worth it. A big thank you to the entire crew for this wonderful excursion.

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!

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!

We had a really fun day with friends and meeting new people. For the most part, the workers were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. However, after our trip, I posted a few pictures of us having fun on the boat to my private Instagram story only for Captain Ben’s son, Nikolas, to comment on it in a rude and derogatory way. Very uncomfortable and unpleasant experience after the fact that makes me almost hesitant to recommend the experience, especially as a paying customer.

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!

I have been living in Greece for 6 years and I have done tens of Tours, This is The Best Tour Ever. Until now I am so impressed with the organization, professionalism and the lovely family environment we had during this trip. Captain Ben and his family are so adorable and they do this business with love and passion and you can feel that. First the communication to book this trip was so easy and Dimitris from Captain Ben was so responsive and he gave me all the details I wanted. He managed the transfer also from my hotel to Pounta port and back. The transfer bus was on time and everything was just perfect. In Pounta Port the cruise was on time and Captain Ben's wife(I guess) welcomed us with her amazing smile and she was taking care of every single person like our Mom. Captain Ben is well experienced and he always have alternatives when it is windy in certain stops. The service on board was excellent with coffee, tea, juices, soft drinks , wine and all available during the whole trip. We had also a snack, BBQ on board (Octopus, sausages, pork and chicken souvlaki)with variety of food, salads( Greek, pasta and potato), appetizers(tzatziki), and after that we had fresh and cold melons in addition to ice-cream. The stops we had were just amazing with crystal clear water and we enjoyed swimming to the maximum. The slide in the cruise made the trip more entertaining and we had a lot of fun. The music on the cruise was very nice as well. In general this best tour I have ever done in my life and if you are in Paros or Anti Paros this is A MUST. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this unforgettable experience.

We went on several day trips on boats over the course of a month in Europe and we by far had the most fun on this trip! Water was absolutely gorgeous (didn’t even look real!!) and we were able to jump off, use the giant slide, etc. and had a blast! We were able to sit downstairs and have plenty of room to ourselves so it felt safe from a covid perspective. The environment was so positive and by the end of the day everyone was having fun together.
The captain and crew were so kind and made this experience so memorable. Cannot recommend them enough!

Brilliantly fun from the start.
The whole of captain bens team were organised and made sure safety and comfort was sorted first.
I think there were 70-80 people on our trip. Lots of space, great atmosphere, amazing sites and stops and 5 locations all different and great fun all day.
Food was top class and drinks provided were sensible throughout the day.
We had a lot of couples and a small group of guys on the tour from all over the world.
Value for money 100%
Definitely recommend 👍🏼

This boat is perfect if you’re 30 and under. We were a group with 40 and over and it was kinda weird they put all the older people in one section and younger people on the top of the boat…..i have to say the owners ( dad mom and a son are great) the food served was very good and the stops we made to snorkel etc were beautiful! The only thing that was weird is they really need to let you know that they cater to the younger and they only allow one drink after every stop. Don’t go if you’re older than 30….should have realized this after they asked ages before we even got on the boat.

Really, really enjoyed the boat tour. Stopped at a ton of different swimming spots, all with crystal blue waters and unique stone formations. Got to swim in caves, play volleyball on the beach, cliff jump, snorkel, and swim in some really unique destinations.
I'd say this is the perfect choice if you have a little group of friends that can enjoy it together.
It's not a fussy or luxury day trip - it's well-priced, with great service and good fun. Bring sunscreen!

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.

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?
Written 25 August 2018
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)
Written 17 July 2018
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.
