We had a great time and highly recommend this excursion. The day was perfectly planned. We enjoyed the swimming opportunities, the bbq lunch and the free time on Ano Koufonissia. The crew was wonderful and really added to the fun. Also, the beach at Koufonissia was the best we have seen anywhere!

Beautiful sights with such an amazing crew! They kept us going when it got a bit chilly, the lunch was delicious and Koufonisi was spectacular!
The entire crew was amazing, the whole trip was fun and getting in the water was fun, Food was good and Christina was amazing !
This experience was phenomenal. The boat was very capable, clean, and aesthetically pleasing. The staff members were energetic, welcoming, and fun. The lunch onboard was amazing! The stops in Koufonisia and Rina Cave were beautiful and must see locations.
We had a wonderful time. Great swimming sites. Highly recommend, fun day in the sun.Very fun & friendly staff!
The crew were so much fun! The locations we went to were perfect! Lunch was great! My only concern was it seemed there were too many people on the boat. Hard to find a place to sit and really hard walk around. People were almost tripping over each trying to move. What made it worse was the really rough seas on way back and there was no where to go, and the cabin was full of people sick, we were huddled in the back squished together to try to stay warm and dry! Other than the overcrowding it was great fun
Tour was absolutely beautiful!! Views and the boat were lovely. We even got told to sit at the front of the boat so we got to tan and enjoy the views whilst getting our feet wet.
Staff were really great and the food was sooo delicious. Was so much fun- we loved it and would do it again!!
Great experience! The team was awesome,the food delicious and the island and cave were amazing and soooo beautiful! Definitely recommend
The crew is very attentive and makes every effort to connect with the passengers. This cruise was lots of fun.
Excellent so well recommended as described plus extra positive and friendly vibes by the crew and team. Super nice people, proffessional and created a nice, fun and vibrant environment all the wzy. Plus good was really good :) overall was so positive and cost wise reasonable. Good luck to the team! Layal & Firas
Great value for money, good food, great tour, Koufulissi is beautiful, rina cave is great, it is little long to each location
Great day out on the water with a fun group and helpful staff and other guests. Stops at Koufonisi, the cave, and the private beach were amazing with water that was so refreshing.
We enjoyed the places we visited. The hosts on the boat were wonderful and welcoming. The food was delicious. But the boat overly packed and the trip felt long. I would’ve opted to skip the rocky beach and spend more time on Koufinisia!

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us!
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful places we visited, our welcoming crew, and the food on board. 😊
Regarding the number of guests, we completely understand your comment. August is peak season in the Cyclades, and demand for our cruise is particularly high during this period. We do our best to provide a pleasant experience for everyone on board while maintaining the highest possible level of service.
We also appreciate your suggestion regarding the time spent at Koufonissia. The itinerary is carefully planned to include the different swimming stops and Rina Cave, but we truly value your feedback and will keep it in mind.
Thank you again for joining us and for your kind words about our team. We hope to welcome you back on board in the future! 🌊☀️
This was a great day trip. Traveling with 16 year old granddaughter. Lunch was delicious and the team was fantastic!
From start to finish this experience was phenomenal, we highly recommend this experience if you’re on Naxos, it’s definitely a must. We got to know different islands we otherwise would have missed. The whole staff was GREAT the captain very knowledgeable, we never once felt unsafe even when the tide got a bit choppy. The bbq food was delicious and one to remember.
Lovely, chill vibes! Boat ride out to first stop is a little longer than I anticipated, but it was wonderfully peaceful just looking at the sea and sky, and hearing the sounds of the water. Crew was great! They also served a delicious lunch! A great alternative to sitting on the beach - and we had a lot of water time!
Fun boat ride when sea is not too choppy. Our trip end of June was good. The water was quite chilly but you got used to it. Bbq lunch good!
Amazing staff, really nice tour!
Would definitely recommend if you're staying in Naxos to discover the island and it's surroundings.
A fun trip with AMAZING food. Staff were fun and friendly. My daughter’s favorite on our 15 day trip in Greece. She loved the cliff jumping!!!! Thank you for the experience.
Myself and my young adult kids absolutely recommend! We had such a fun day on the water with this exceptional crew! The BBQ on the boat tasted fantastic - and of course the wine :-) Swimming in the cave, cliff diving and visiting Koufonissia was such a good mix of activity for everyone. My family loves to be on the water and this day exceeded our expectations!
A very up beat tour with lots of great views. It was their first tour of the 2026 season and we really were happy to be a part of that.
Take a float noodle to swim into the cave. It was amazing iridescent blue inside.
Hosts are amazing! Food was great! Drinks were great. The only reason I am leaving a 4 & not a 5 is because of the time commitment and number of people that are on the boat. It was a long day and quite a few people on the boat. I loved the experience and the areas we saw so I am not sure if they can break this up but 9 hours is a bit too long for this excursion.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you very much for your kind and honest feedback! 😊
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience, the areas we visited, our hosts, the food, and the drinks on board.
We completely understand your comment regarding the duration of the excursion. It is indeed a full-day experience, with approximately 9 hours in total, as the destinations we visit require considerable sailing time from Naxos. We know that this can feel like a long day, but it also allows us to combine Koufonissia, the swimming stops, and Rina Cave in one unforgettable trip.
Regarding the number of guests, August is the peak season in the Cyclades, and demand is particularly high. We always try to make the experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible for everyone on board.
Thank you again for choosing us and for the lovely comments about our team. We are very happy that, despite these points, you loved the experience and the places we visited! 🌊☀️
Absolutely an amazing day!! The crew was fabulous and we met many new friends….very easily! Gr8 food

We hope to see you again on board for another great day at sea!

We loved this boat trip. The stops were wonderful and we had such a great time meeting others on the boat. The swimming spots were great choices and we LOVED Koufonisia, such a cute town to visit and see. The lunch was great and I think the value for this trip was incredible, I would recommend to anyone going.

The boat tour was well organized and enjoyable, With the length of the tour (9 hours) it was a benefit to get off the boat for a few hours to tour the island. Lunch was excellent. Swimming spots were great.

Full day excursion.
Well organized. Our host, Paulina, was exceptional.
Locations visited were beautiful.
A large part of the day is spent sitting on the boat waiting to get to the next destination. If they could find a way to shorten the day by a couple hours it would be a much better experience.
The greatest complaint would be the overcrowding of the boat. The excursion is WAY over sold and the ship quite crowded. For the price, a smaller group would have been preferred.
All in all, a fun yet very average experience.
If you have several days in Naxos worth a try. If limited on time, maybe spend time elsewhere.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re glad to hear that you found the excursion well organized, enjoyed the beautiful locations, and that Paulina made a positive impression as your host.🙏
We also appreciate your honest comments regarding the length of the day and the number of guests on board. We understand that a more intimate group can make the experience feel more comfortable. Please note that this particular trip is a full-day excursion because Koufonissia is farther away, which is why it’s designed as a longer journey. For those looking for a shorter experience, we also offer other boat trips that explore nearby areas in fewer hours.
We’re happy you still found the day fun, and we hope that if you visit Naxos again, we might have the chance to provide an even better experience.

Perfect day trip! The locations visited were beautiful (I especially appreciated the ample time to explore Koufonissia independently), food was great, but the crew really made the day special. I was traveling solo and felt so well taken care of by the whole team.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the beautiful locations, our food, and especially the care from our crew. We’re glad you felt welcomed and well looked after during your solo trip, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on another adventure soon!
