This was a perfect morning. We had been concerned about the strong winds elsewhere on the island but the southern point was relatively protected and the water was calm enough for easy swimming.
The captain and his family were so lovely. The boat was beautiful and well maintained. We travelled across the coast and stopped for a swim at Rina Cave. On the way back we stopped for another snorkel in the crystal clear waters. The captain took photos and even let the girls steer the boat.
Would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone.

This trip far exceeded our expectations. The tour is private/semi-private since they don't have more than 8 people on the boat. We actually had the boat all to ourselves which made it so amazing. There are other bigger tours starting from the N side of the island that take much longer. We saw one of the boats when we were out. It was crammed with people...
Gialitissa is a FAR better option. Ioannis, our guide, was fantastic! He is very friendly and gives you so much information about the area. They provide a light Greek salad for snacking with some white wine which was perfect. The cave is beautiful. Since it is not tied to the big tour groups, we had the cave to ourselves too. :D. Ioannis talked with our daughters and even let them help with things around the boat...which they LOVED! The pricing for the trip is also very reasonable. I would highly recommend this over the bigger tour. The only thing to consider is the drive to Penermos, which would be over an hour from Chora. However the views as you drive through the mountains are fantastic. Also, they do take pictures and provide them for free which is great if you don't want to worry about your phone.

Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed review! Ioannis was so happy to hear how much your daughters enjoyed helping out on the boat—making moments like that for families is what we love most. We wish you all health, peace, and many more emotional, beautiful moments together!

This was the perfect boat trip. Demerits and Yannis were excellent hosts and very informative. It was a small group and there was plenty of time to enjoy and snorkle at the two stops we made. If you do not want to spend a while day on a boat/catamaran with a lot of people, this is for you.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for your sweet words! Dimitris and Yannis are so happy to hear that you had such a great time with us. Wishing you all the best and beautiful memories ahead!

This was a very family friendly boat tour to Rinas cave. There were multiple families aboard, with kids as young as 5. We made 2 swimming stops. Despite the windy conditions, the captain maintained a gentle boat ride. The snacks and wine at the end were a nice touch. The value for the price was excellent.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so glad we could provide a smooth, safe, and comfortable ride for the families on board despite the wind. We wish you and your family all the best!

Our family of our (kids ages 10 & 12) had a wonderful time on the cruise. Giannis was a pleasure to spend 2 hours with and made sure our kids and everyone on the boat had an incredible afternoon. Highly recommend and we would gladly make the beautiful drive again if we visit Naxos again. Thank you!

This is probably the best boat tour for the price ! Although it was an over an hour from our location in Naxos , the actual drive through the mountains was breathtaking!
We were warmly greeted upon arrival by Dimitris ans Ianis. They provided insightful information throughout the tour .
We had two swim stops and even got to swim in Rina cave .
We
Had some delicious tomato and cucumber salad along with wine on the boat .
It was a small group and a very local feel.
I highly recommend this tour !

We took the traditional boat trip to Rina Cave from Panermos with the family, and it turned out to be one of the best outings of our entire Greece trip. From the moment we stepped aboard, the hospitality was warm and genuine — making us feel like locals.
The cave itself was magical. Swimming into Rina Cave with its crisp, crystal-clear water was an unforgettable experience, and diving off the overhang was an absolute thrill for us all. The water was so clear you could see straight to the bottom.
Back on the boat, the crew had a few more surprises in store that made the day even more special and memorable. It's the kind of outing that stays with you long after the holiday ends.
If you're in the area, don't miss this one — perfect for families, couples or individuals and anyone looking to experience the real charm of the Greek islands. Highly recommended!

Reading this feels like catching a warm summer breeze! We are absolutely thrilled that swimming and diving into Rina Cave felt so magical for your family.

We wish your wonderful family endless health, joy, and many more authentic adventures together.

This tour was our favorite thing we did in Greece! The water was unbelievable, the cave was really cool, and cliff jumping was a super fun, safe experience. We went with our teenage sons are we all loved it! We stayed in Chora— so we rented a car to drive over and it was so worth it! Giannis was an incredible guide, informative, and made us feel completely welcomed. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jul 2026

We wish you all good health, beautiful family moments, and many more fun adventures together. Safe travels!

Such a fun time! Enough time to see and swim in the cave if you don't want to or cant spend all day on a bat. The stop at a nearby bay for more swimming. Perfect excursión. Also, the details were nice, such as them taking photos and video for you and the Greek salad and wine at the end.
Response from Host, Jun 2026

This was one of our favorite things we did on Naxos. The boat ride is so beautiful and the swim in the cave and the cliff jumping were really fun. The captain was so accommodating and friendly and even gave us a wonderful snack of tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and croutons after the swim at the beach. There was also wine, but we don’t drink so I can’t say how good it was but everyone else seemed to enjoy it.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Wishing you nothing but more beautiful memories and fun experiences! Stay well and blessed always.

This was a fantastic tour and was our favorite part of our time in Naxos. It is a great way to see the southern part of the island. The coastline is beautiful; the cave and cliff jumping were very fun. The guide explained history along the way and went above and beyond taking pictures which were then emailed to us. Everything was well thought out and relaxing. Highly recommend!
