What people are saying about Naxos

Overall a very pleasant experience. Nice boat, good food and nice crew. We stopped at 3 pre-announced stops, mostly on the west coast of Naxos. Food was simple & functional but tasty (moussaka for lunch, fruit at the end). We had enough time at all stops, you could snorkel (equipment was provided). The only drawback is that the Rina cave was not targeted and there was no sailing either, but that is not always under control either. Stand-Up Paddling was in the description, but I didn't see it on board, but I didn't ask about it either.

I would 100% recommend this trip! Staff were friendly and always ensured we were safe and having a great time. We had 3 swimming stops which were all amazing. Food was very generous in sizing and sp tasty. A highlight of our time in Naxos.

Crew was great and prepared us delicious food throughout. They knew the sea and wind well and took us to some cool locations. I highly recommend this to see parts of the island you wouldn’t normally be able to.

This is a great excursion to get to know Santorini if you’re staying in Naxos, the tour is well organised and allows you to see the main attraction in Santorini and the boat trip is enjoyable.

Super fun and relaxing. A great way to spend the day!
