Great day, the blue caves were so beautiful. The colour of the water has to be seen to be believed. The crew were very friendly & informative; hallelujah!

Fun day on a Monday

William_B, May 2024

What a great day! Captain Bill is a well run clean and efficient pleasure vessel with a host, Theo, who has a fun and comprehensive commentary several times during the trip. The 2 bars and well stocked and offer good value. The blue caves are lovely and a sight to behold and those that chose to swim at the beautiful Antipaxoi beach had a great experience. 2 hour stop at Gaios (beautiful by the way) for lunch and tourist shops was well worth it. We had a lovely 3 courses and wine at Toucan. Back on board for the return to Corfu even had Greek dancing and singing on the upper deck. Would do it again.

Blue Caves were stunning,...

Nicky_B, May 2024

Blue Caves were stunning, Great trip, but found the boat a little crowded, so not very relaxing, would shorten the swim stop in Anti Paxos and make the Paxos stop a little longer

Rubbish

Rachael_J, Apr 2024

Didn’t get to experience this as of poor communication from the company and wrong location of pick up point being emailed over when I spoke to them about this they then stated they had sent another email which wasn’t received and no try from the driver to contact me when I wasn’t at the “correct pick up point” , then to be refused a refund because I “didn’t show up”

Amazing experience must try

Keshika_J, Apr 2024

Absolutely stunning locations. The swim in the sea was the highlight for me with a bit of Bob marley playing jn the background. It was heaven. Highly recommend!

Often what you pay for is not what you get

Grace_H, Oct 2023

The Color of the sea. The vessel was over crowded when we went thru the cave as I was on the bottom could only see walls. There were more vessels waiting to go thru. I thought we would spend time to see stalagmites with some dialog from Captain Bill.

Great experience !

Natalia_P, Sep 2023

The nature, blue water and beautiful views. Enjoy good wether and kind, nice people around. I am very happy with my trip, only was issue with my transfer.

Disappointing

ajb, Aug 2023

Viator organisation of transfers was fine and they replied promptly to questions. I felt I paid more than the quoted price and was unable to get a breakdown of costs. Picturesque scenery and trip as described. Boat was over crowded with lack of seating. Loud music from start to finish. I asked for it to be turned down but it wasn't. Loud speakers everywhere so couldn't avoid it and people had to shout to talk. I prefer to listen to waves and the sounds of nature.

Blue caves and swimming...

Yiolanda_P, Aug 2023

Blue caves and swimming at Antipaxous were the best parts. However, there was a long tiring trip and when we reached Paxous we realized that there was nothing interesting to see there…I didn’t like it. The food was average, didn’t have much time to go around. The kids wondered the reason we had chosen that tiring trip. They were exhausted and now they are both sick with flu.. The crew was nice. Always eager to serve us and make us feel nice. Nice, pleasant people! I think this cruise is good for people around 20-30 years of age.

Very bad experience

SantiagoM_P, Jun 2023

Terrible company! They did not pick us up as we had planned and rechecked twice, so we missed doing the tour, we were waiting for 45 minutes and they never showed up and they only offered us an apology and a refund of the money. We couldn't do the tour with another company because they were already full every day.

Avoid

Charlotte_H, Jun 2023

The experience as a whole is not worth the price you pay. You’re boarded onto a boat that is rammed with people. You are then spending the best part of 3.5 hours travelling to the “blue caves” - the blue caves are not what are advertised, you are taken into a cave to sit for around 5 minutes then you are taken out of the have and travel to antipaxoi where you are promised an hour on a beautiful beach, this is not the case - you pull up along some rocks for less than an hour before you go back on the boat to travel another 20 minutes until you reach Paxoi. You spend 2 hours in Paxoi which is probably the best part of the whole trip. You are not allowed back in the boat until a specific time where you will then spend another 3.5 hours travelling back to Corfu. There is no entertainment on the boat to keep you or any children occupied and the prices for any drinks/snacks on the boat are ridiculous. The day is long and not worth the paid price. If you are booking be mindful that the photos on the advertisement is not what you will get. No blue caves, no beach stops, no nice clear blue waters as promised. Massive let down.

Sublime

Although the caves, swim,...

Jennifer_S, Jun 2023

Although the caves, swim, and island was pretty I don’t think it was worth the long boat ride. Was a 10 hour day with only about 3 hours of actual activity time. There are caves closer and islands that would be more suitable considering it was highly occupied boat. Staff were friendly food was reasonable given on a boat. Music was on a speaker to entertain a bit. Wouldn’t take kids as it’s a long haul.

Good but too much boat time

Scott_S, May 2023

Be ready for a long day on a crowded boat. It’s really about 8 hours on a boat for a few hours of fun. The town of Paxoi is great. Picturesque village by the sea. Lots of shops and restaurants to visit.

Overcrowded and very long day on a boat

Anna_S, Apr 2023

The boat trip was 10.5 hours in total (not including driving time to the boat) and only 2 hours of this was spent off the boat in Paxos. The swimming stop in Antipaxos is not a stop at the beach, it is just swimming off the boat. The boat was over crowded and on the way there and back people had to stand or sit on the floor - this was disappointing given the high price of the trip and how long we spent on the boat. I would not recommend.

Well worth it!

John_P, Apr 2023

The boat trip tour to Paxos and Antipaxos was worth the day! We were conveniently picked up in a nice Pullman from our hotel and taken to the docks . The boat was clean and comfortable. There was not too much time in Paxos and most time spent on transpiration but a good day trip worth the money!

Great

Starjam9, Oct 2022

Great fun. Good company, smooth ride and beautiful scenery. Well worth the money. Do it. You will be glad you did.

Sublime!

Brian_P, Oct 2022

This is a delightful excursion, mainly at sea, and needs good weather, which on our day was perfect. Although the trip starts from Corfu Port, for those staying at hotels south of Kerkyra (Corfu Town) pick up can be arranged with a drive south to Lefkimi, and return drop off. If the seas are a little on the choppy side, this is preferable as the sea is usually worse between Corfu Town and Lefkimi. On our days the sun shone and the seas were perfectly calm, to match the sublime service throughout. There was sufficient room on the boat to move around and the Blue Caves are exquisite. For those who wanted it, the swimming from the boat was wonderful in waters as clear and clean you will ever see, and the time in Paxi was just right for a relaxing wander plus a sublime seafood lunch. What a great day at a very reasonable price.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Dear Brian, thank you for the review. We are very grad that you enjoyed the cruise and had a wonderfull time!

Great day out and lovely way to see Paxos

Ian_G, Oct 2022

This a great day out, highly recommend The collection from the hotel was on time and efficient. When I arrived at the Port check in was completed quickly, Viator had passed on all the details to Corfu Cruises, so I did not need to fill in any paperwork. The Boat was large with a big group of passengers on board, there was two bar and food vending shops on board. The Crew were friendly and communicated in Mutiple languages. The cruise was relaxing down to Paxos, First Stop was Anti Paxos, such an amazing spot for swimming, there is area at the back of the ship to enter and leave the water. Life jackets provided for non-swimmers. Crew kept an eye on us swimming. Water and scenery were amazing Then on to Paxos for good hour of waking and are loads of shops and restaurants. Leisurely Cruise back to Corfu and our bus transports waiting I very much enjoyed this day and it is a very good value for money tour. The bus transports are well wort the extra money

Amazing crew

Miroslav_M, Aug 2022

Taking this trip is a must! Great trip, amazing crew, and breathtaking sights. At the way back we had a bit bad weather, with wind and rain, it was very special experience on boat.

Best of Greece

Martina_S, Aug 2022

Best choice to make, you will not regret this. Absolutely amazing. Bring your own snorkels for the clear blue water. It was heaven 💙
