A don’t miss excursion
Cheri_A, September 2026
Definitely worth doing the 8 hours exploring the gorgeous coast, island villages, caves and swim coves. Tom, our boat host, was amazing and very engaging and fun. He tailored the day to accommodate the experience we were wanting and never rushed us. Well worth every penny! The company even went out of their way to pick us up outside the city walls even tho it wasn’t part of our booking to make things easier for us. Loved every minute of it.

Best Decision Ever

We had the most amazing boat day with Tomas! We absolutely loved getting to explore and eat on the Elaphiti Islands and getting to see the blue cave. If you’re considering this trip, do it! We are so glad we did! The boat was comfortable and Tomas did a fantastic job catering the day to fit our needs and made the lunch reservation for us.
