  The price was worth it for the number of things you would go to and duration as well. The bbq on board was very yummy. The crews were lovely too

  We had a great time on this boat cruise! Late September brought a cloudy and windy day, so a good portion of the journey was COLD, but we managed with plenty of layers and towels as blankets. We really liked our seats in the raised section at the front of the boat—we avoided most of the sea spray and foot traffic while still having a great view. Definitely arrive early if you want first choice in seats. We skipped swimming at the first stop because it was so chilly, but we were able to be first in line for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised by the food! The meat was grilled right on the boat, and everything else tasted incredibly fresh for being prepared in bulk. We especially loved getting to explore another island. Koufonisi was beautiful and gave us true small-island Mamma Mia vibes. We also lucked out with some sunshine at Rina Cave, where we were able to swim all the way into the cave and watch some of the braver guests cliff-jump. If swimming is important to you, get in the water quickly—the time goes by fast at the swimming stops! The bathrooms were also surprisingly better than I anticipated based on other reviews. They aren’t huge, but they were decently clean and there was enough space to change out of my swimsuit after swimming. There is definitely a lot of sailing time. I had seen some negative comments about the amount of time spent traveling between destinations, but I actually think that’s an important part of the experience. The scenery is incredible, and I loved getting to see the islands from the water. Our guides even got on the microphone a few times to tell us about some of the islands we could see and were passing. I would’ve loved even more information from the guides throughout the day! Overall, we really enjoyed our day and would recommend this experience!

  The crew did a wonderful job on the tour. The food was great. The water was cold and it was very windy unfortunately, but still beautiful water. It was super clear and you could see all the way to the bottom while swimming. They supplied beverages and there is a bathroom on board. They also had pool noodles you could use to swim with

  Well organised day trip. Great crew taking care of everyone. Coffee, wine, soft drinks and great BBQ included. Right amount of time for swimming and a walk around Koufonisia. Couldn’t fault it.

  The trip was fun! The sea can be a bit rough, so if you are prone to sea sickness, wear a patch. You must be able bodied to go swimming since climbing up and down a ladder is required! The lunch was delicious! Great trip!

About Naxos

Naxos, the largest of the Cyclades, mixes long sandy beaches, mountain villages, marble quarries and a Venetian old town.

Naxos Town, the island's capital, is a whitewashed port with a Venetian castle on the hill above and narrow lanes winding through its centre. Out on the harbour islet stands the Portara, a huge marble doorway, all that remains of an unfinished temple of Apollo begun in the sixth century BC. The island is greener than most of its neighbours, with fertile valleys, springs and the Cyclades' highest peak, Mount Zas.
