2.3 Island Cruise Tour in Kos Island with Personalized Audio Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 393 reviews · 7 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $32

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.”

Review of Kos’s 3-island cruise to Kalymnos, Platy, and Pserimos, with swimming, dolphin watching, BBQ lunch, and audio guide.

“Incredibly fun atmosphere on board. The crew were incredibly helpful and entertaining throughout. The stops were well thought out and wee bits of information was given out upon arrival for each island. The BBQ lunch was very tasty and the drinks were well priced on the boat. Would recommend the Santa Maria to all”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 8 reviews · 15 to 20 hours (approx.)

Review of Hawaii’s self-guided audio bundle for Maui, Oahu, Kauai, and the Big Island, with route details, app tips, value, and drawbacks.

“We purchased the app on The Big Island. We started the tour near the airport upon arriving but the tour took us in the opposite direction of our hotel. The info provided on the tour is very interesting (which is why we gave it the three star rating.) So, after about an hour, we turned around to head toward our hotel but the app did not provide us with the tour information since we weren’t going in the direction indicated. Unfortunately, the tours have specific starting points which are inflexible. When you turn on the app, it will ask if you want directions to the starting point, which is great…unless…”
