Out of a 10-day vacation throughout Greece with fun-filled adventures, this trip was among the best and most memorable adventure I had. After a 1.5 hour drive through the mountains from the port of Naxos to the boat, we arrived to stunning blue water, friendly faces, and a beautiful traditional Greek boat. Chef Poppy and the captain for the day warmly greeted us, shared with us the plan, and we set out for Rina's cave, hugging the coastline along the way. We had unlimited white wine, a stunning swim in a private cove and then also in Rina's cave, and we returned to a gourmet lunch consisting of tartar, crudo, Greek salad, and cooked fish stew. The food was among the best and freshest we had in all of Greece. We were also able to play our own music on the provided speaker, which only added to the great vibes. I 100% recommend this trip without hesitation!

This was, without a doubt, the best experience we had in Naxos! Please folllw this advice: take the drive, spent the money, and enjoy this most remarkable experience! The food was absolutely exceptional! The swimming and snorkeling was truly so beautiful and rejuvenating, and the captain and crew were radiant! Worth it!!!

Excellent Day. Spectular food. The staff was absolutely wonderful. Good mix of boating in the sea & food experience. Far from maintain but worth the exercrusion

Very very nice trip. Good storyteller about the different small Islands, we were really inspired to visit the small Islands after the information the guide gave. Very nice boat, lots of space. Extremely good food! The most delicious we had in the 2 weeks in Greece. Fresh caught fish, and lots of homemade specialities👌
We were visiting Cave Rina and one of the guides showed us around while we were in the water, that was an intense thing! Also very good videomaterial was provided, so we have all the highlights when we Get Home.🙏Can really recommend the trip.

This was a really neat tour my family took in Naxos. The wind was really bad but Voula and captain Dimitris reached out and moved our excursion to depart from a different dock. They were very accommodating, and we were able to see Rina’s cave, swim and have lunch at a secluded beach. Voula was a wonderful tour guide, she gave us history of Naxos and her sister was a culinary graduate that made us a delicious lunch. I highly recommend them for a tour ;)

This was hands down the best part of our trip to Naxos! Our hostess was amazing! She was easy to communicate with, friendly when we met her, and informational about the islands around us! The wine was delicious, the cave was fun for adults and teenagers alike, and the food was amazing! No one in our family had ever had cold fish before. The starters were absolutely delicious! Even our kids who hesitate to try new things loved it! The main course was cooked fish that they had caught that day. By far, the best meal we had on our stay on the island! Highly recommend this cruise for families with kids 10 years old and up or couples. We left this cruise for the last day on the island and it was the best choice we could’ve made! Even the drive down to the port was stunning.

This was an asking day. Great crew. Incredible guide. Fabulous food.
Would lightly recommend this activity from wherever you are located on Naxos.

Unforgettable boat trip in Naxos!
Highly recommend booking this experience for an authentic, relaxed and incredible time !
The most DELICIOUS food is prepared on the boat and served to you while taking in the beautiful surroundings - incredibly fresh & so much attention to detail!
It was the most amazing experience I’ve ever booked in all of my travels :)

Our best experience while 12 days in Greece. Voula, Popi and Captain Dimitris are simply amazing. It's a 1.5 hour drive to the other side of Naxos, but worth every minute of mountain roads.
Pulling up to a dirt road and a port with only 4 boats, we didn't know what to expect. We were tired and a little dizzy from the drive and then found the boat, got on and Voula was our host talking us through southern Naxos while Captain Dimitris cruised along the coast. More swimming than what we expected (a good thing) and hands down one of the best meals of our lives from Chef Popi. The conversation, food, scenery and boat was magical. We took our 15 and 18 yr old's and it's their favorite as well.

Our family of four just loved this private boat trip. We truly enjoyed the personal, local experience and learned so much about Naxos life and history from Voula. The swimming and scenery were spectacular and we were able to mostly avoid the big boats with large groups. The food was the best we had on Naxos! I just can’t say enough good things, highly recommend this private experience, it was worth the cost for our family!
Mary_G, Jun 2026
Oh my goodness!! Wonderful day. The drive there was a little far, about an hour for us. Worth the drive. And you get to see parts of the island we would not have seen. The staff and crew were exceptional. Truly a local experience. The food was so delicious, fresh, local. Beautiful water. We swam in the cave. And driving back we stopped in the coolest town. Enjoy!!

Where to start? The boat - beautiful and comfortable…the people - friendly and engaging ..the location - heaven on Earth and the food- best food in Greece. Everything was so fresh and deliciously prepared. It was really a perfect afternoon. If you are on the fence, book it!!

Absolutely rent the car, make the drive and soak up this magical experience! We had 2 hotel/rental folks try to talk us out of making this drive but it was 100% worth it! Exploring the beautiful island of Naxos was our best day of our Greece trip. The drive is an adventure in itself, we zig zagged up mountain roads, had to stop for several herds of sheep and goats but also enjoyed visiting several unique villages while on our way to meet the boat. Voula and Cap Demetre were incredible hosts. They found us the best little bays for swimming (since it was a bit windy and we needed some protection from the waves) as well as took us to cliff jump from Rina’s Cave and swim inside. The crystal clear waters were magical! The lunch they prepared on board was fish that were fresh caught by Cap and so flavorful. The cheese on our salad was made fresh that morning by his father from their goats. Even the salt and capers were harvested by Voula! Such authentic and delicious food to enjoy while soaking up the view. To have such a wholesome, hospitable experience on this trip is exactly what we had hoped our day would be.
Rent the car. Make the drive. Enjoy this experience!!!

This private boat tour was hands down the highlight of our trip. We almost didn’t book it because of the drive from Naxos Town, but we are so glad we did. It was beyond worth it.
The boat itself was incredible, and the entire experience felt special from start to finish. We learned so much about the island along the way, which made it even more meaningful.
And the food… truly outstanding. Everything was so fresh and delicious, one of the best meals we had on the trip.
We’re still talking about this experience and would 100% do it again the next time we’re in Naxos. Highly, highly recommend.

Our family had a wonderful time sailing around the islands! The crew made it a fun experience, and the food prepared for us was incredible. Everything was freshly caught or harvested, and we were able to take beautiful pictures to remember this trip. I highly recommend this excursion when visiting the beautiful island of Naxos.

This was the highlight of our trip. From the moment we arrived, we were in the expert hands of Voula, Dimitrious, and Sofia. The boat and itinerary were exactly as described. The meal was the best we had on our trip and the scenery was beautiful. Our first stop was Rina’s Cave. The water was crystal clear and we even did a cliff jump. The next stop was lunch on the boat in a protected cove. Fresh fish, home made cheese, salad and potatoes. Delicious! The remainder was a peaceful ride around the islands. We visited in early April, so didn’t do too much swimming.
Would highly recommend!

We were travelling as a group of 7 women and had the pleasure of enjoying this experience together on my birthday.. I could not have asked for a better day!!! The captain and crew are warm, knowledgeable and EXTREMELY talented. The boat has been beautifully renovated by its owner / captain, and the chef on board is clearly destined for incredible things in her career - we are grateful to have experienced her cooking! Despite it being a windy day on the island, once we stepped on board you wouldn't have known it based on the captain's expert skills in selecting where to go. It was an extremely smooth ride and we spent time relaxing in protected bays. Swimming into Rina's cave was magical and would highly recommend getting into the water for that part of the tour

A lovely boat and the crew were so kind and informative. The fresh seafood lunch was delicious (the first time eating ceviche for me) and we all raved about it. Well worth the drive to this side of Naxos!
Alex_T, Sep 2025
This was the best experience we had in Naxos, we could not recommend it more! From start to finish the day was perfect. The boat was so beautiful & clean, the locations were private, secluded and stunning, and the food was phenomenal. We expected to eat some fresh fish but we were so pleasantly surprised with one of our best seafood meals in Naxos. The guides were so kind & fun and knew exactly where to take us. Finally, and maybe most importantly — Naxos is very windy & seas can be very rough but this tour was in a strategically calm area of the island and we were so pleased to have the most easy & enjoyable day. 100% recommend, 10/10 experience!

This was hands down the best experience of our trip. Myself and 4 friends booked this tour because it looked beautiful and sounded all-inclusive. What we got was so much more. We received a beautiful and comfortable vessel to sail around the gorgeous Naxos coastline, through gemstone-hued waters, to Rina's cave and more. We were also gifted with so much more. We received amazing hospitality from the entire crew but mostly its bright, knowledgeable, inviting Captain. We were a group of women and men, all queer, and felt seen, safe, and welcomed — both part of their crew and they felt part of ours. We received beautiful photos from our Captain. We had an AMAZING lunch that spoiled all other food in Naxos for us. Freshly caught fish -- prepared to perfection -- the best greek salad I've ever had, the freshest figs (literally picked while we were on the tour), and the freshest sea salt (harvested themselves). The chef on board is a master chef and you should count yourselves lucky to get to partake. On top of all of that, we just had an amazing time! We kept saying how we wish we would've booked a whole day. We felt so taken care of, so welcomed. We saw and swam in some amazing waters. We learned so much. We made beautiful connections with the Captain and crew. Thank you so much! We WILL be back.

From the start to finish, this was truly one of the most amazing dats we’ve ever experienced!! From the moment we arrived
at this remote and breathtakingly beautiful spot, the crew was knowledgeable, sweet, very helpful and overall just lovely! And to top it off, the seafood was the best that we had on our entire vacation! I believe we had four different types of fish and the most amazing Greek salad we’ve ever had! I cannot recommend this excursion enough and what made it so special was the personal touches by the crew! !I’d give it 20 stars if I could!! You will not be disappointed!!

I don't know where to start. It was one of the most beautiful experiences we ever had. The food was the best there is on all of Naxos! The girls are totally lovely, helpful and the boat is just a dream. This experience has charm, style and simply everything you could wish for. I don't want to give too much away but it's worth every penny.
