Overall rating

4.6
(5 reviews)

The activity was amazing, the areas for swimming were beautiful and had the option of using fins and goggles or swimming on your own. Left plenty of time to relax on the boat if needed or swim and explore. Everyone on the boat was very personable and the lunch was small but perfect for a quick refresher. Met some nice people on our trip from all over the world and made some friends as well. Definitely recommend.

A great experience overall with two highlights at the end. First the (partly submerged) excursion into the cave with the expert help of Mate Mike and finally the delicious pasta with shrimps cooked by the skipper himself. A perfect day trip from Astypalea through crystal clear water to great places on a beautiful yacht with nice people.

The tour was very nice with its destinations. Our guide Dimitri drove very well and shared a lot of interesting information. For lunch we would have liked something a little more traditional than chicken and chips. The tour is definitely recommended.

We saw places that one should not miss during his visit to the island. The staff was extremely kind with a lot of positive energy.

A very relaxing day, swimming and snorkeling in beautiful bays. Very friendly welcome
