This trip was an amazing experience overall. There was a great variety of islands, Agistri for a more peaceful time, Aegina with a busier lifestyle and Metopi/Moni, where we got to jump off the boat into the crystal blue waters. The boat itself was spacious and there are options with shade or sun depending on preference, very comfortable and not squished together! The most important thing of all was the crew - Angelo, Fei, Olina, Christos, James and Giannis were all super friendly, responsive and professional, they were always there to help and were equipped for any scenario. They had great vibes and it was clear that they really wanted everyone to have the best time and they did everything they could to accommodate us, even providing reccomendations for cafes/eateries on the islands. The chef made delicious buffet style food and there were unlimited drinks, and everyone was able to bond together and have a great time. If you want to experience the Greek hospitality, food and lifestyle without the really touristy feel and panic, this is the ultimate activity for you, I would 100% do this again in the future, definetly worth the time and money! :)
Sensational, friendly and welcoming staff! 5 star hospitality. Food was plentiful. Buffet had many options. Delicious! Also had plenty of snacks and various drinks. The boat looked like a pirate ship. Loved visiting the islands. Gorgeous! And the option to jump and swim off the boat was really fun! Adults returning to their youth as they did their plunges. :) Overall, an unforgettable, enjoyable and relaxing experience! Highly recommend! -Thank you from Susan and Troy
The bus picked us up at Omonia Square and took us to the harbor. The boat is in excellent condition and the staff is lively and helpful. The lunch was the best of our days in Greece! It has beer, wine, soda and water included. The stops on the islands and the break for diving in the sea have a great break to explore the islands, shop or swim. Definitely recommend! A great way to give a rest to your legs after days of walking and not getting stuck during the journey. Oh, we were still lucky to see dolphins!
What a perfect way to wrap up an unforgettable 2½-week vacation! We saved this island hopping adventure for our last full day, and it absolutely did not disappoint — in fact, it may have been the highlight of the entire trip. From the moment we boarded, the staff set the tone with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for every guest. They were attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about every stop, and made us feel like we were in the best possible hands the entire time. The boat itself was safe, spacious, and comfortable — exactly what you want when you’re spending a full day on the water. We never once felt crowded or concerned. And the food? Hands down the best we had on any excursion throughout our entire Mediterranean journey. Fresh, flavorful, and generously served — we were thoroughly impressed. But the real star was the water itself. Crystal clear, stunning shades of blue and green — everything you dream about when you think of the Greek islands. Absolutely breathtaking. If you’re visiting and are on the fence about booking this, stop hesitating. We only wish we had done it earlier in the trip so we could have come back again. Highest possible recommendation
Great boat, plenty of time on islands. Lovely lunch and plenty of drinks. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.
We had a great time, the weather was cold and windy when we left by the the time we arrived on the first island it was great. the crew were extremely engaging and polite and the food was some of the best food i have had.
It was great experience. Nice conversation with the staff. We loved it. Will recommend this experience.
Best price for experiencing different Greek islands! The crew is super nice and the guide is very knowledgeable. Plenty of room for everyone on the ship and places to sun bathe. Be a little weary if you are prone to motion sickness with the boat being smaller it gets extremely rocky. The lunch is absolutely phenomenal and you can get more than one plate of food. The second island is more of a swim not visit island but they do have snorkeling equipment and a few floaties for the water! Overall the such a great day cruise and really getting your moneys worth.
Superb boat, very pleasant cruise, the staff on board was really extremely pleasant, very smiling, helpful, the meal was good, the perfect day apart from the fact that the bus totally forgot to pick us up and we had to go by taxi to the terminal, and this, at our expense when it was included in the ticket...
This will go down as one of my best days ever Ana and George and the crew could not do enough for you. The boat was beautiful and extremely clean ..the history that they gave us was very interesting. The islands were gorgeous. The water was incredible. The food was delicious and plentiful. Your safety was their upmost concern. I will definitely do this again and I highly recommend.
