★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 5,137 reviews · 7h 30m · from $35

Review of Kos’s 3-island Odyssey cruise, with Kalymnos, Plati, Pserimos, swimming, lunch, dolphins, tips, and value advice.

“Was a great experience, best part was to be able to get into Kalymnos and the other small islands around, to know the habitants of the place. The boat crew was amazing, creating a vivid atmosphere at the board, food was good , cocktails at the bar affordable. We manage to observe 🐬 during our trip which was a bonus. The only inconvenient I would say the boat was a bit crowded, somehow stiff 6 persons in a 4 people seat.”

Review of Kos's Barco de Pirata 3-island cruise to Pserimos, Kalymnos, and Plati, with Greek lunch, swimming, snorkeling, and a waterslide.

“We had a fantastic time, it could possibly benefit from longer stop at the first island Pserimos, and a longer stay at the swimming stop and skip the second island, as there was little time to actually look around”

Review of Athens’ 3-island Saronic Gulf cruise, with swimming, snorkeling, Greek lunch, drinks, pickup, and practical tips.

“We had such a wonderful experience on our one-day boat cruise! From start to finish, the customer service was excellent. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, including arranging pickup and drop-off directly from our hotel, which made the whole day stress-free. The food on board was absolutely delicious and really added to the experience. It is important to note that this is a nine hour event, so be sure to bring plenty of sunblock and anything else you might need for a full day in the sun. We’re so appreciative of all the thoughtful touches and the warm hospitality. Highly recommend this cruise for…”

“I liked the first stop the best, the sea was was warm calm and full of small fish, ideal for snorkeling, the second stop was ok, the third stop was the most fun, jumping into the clear waters from the side of the boat. lunch wasn't the best but it was in with a very reasonable priced outing. The crew on the boat were very entertaining, the music was blasting on the middle deck and they danced and gave us all a very enjoyable trip back to Kos 👍”

Review of Kos’s 7.5-hour three-island cruise, with dolphin watching, Kalymnos lunch, Platy swimming, Pserimos, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“The day was amazing. The 3 islands are really beautiful and so worth visiting. The only things I would say to improve the tour is to put on some light afternoon refreshments (cakes, biscuits etc), as the lunch was served early and wasn’t substantial enough. Some more detailed commentary about the islands and surrounding area / history would have made it a 5 star experience.”
