This was a great day out with our guide Theodore who was friendly and helpful, giving us lots of information about the area and answering all our questions. He also volunteered to take family photos at all the scenic viewpoints. The minibus tour was great but the high light of the trip had to be the boat excursion to Navagio (shipwreck) beach where you get to spend an hour before being taken to the blue caves. I was amazed how far they took the boat in to the caves, we were lucky that at one of the caves the water was not too choppy and were able to take a quick swim here too. Theodore didn’t join us on the boat trip but his colleague Kostas was also very pleasant. After the boat trip there is a quick lunch stop at a local taverna which was okay - my wife says her prawns were amazing. A quick stop at the oldest olive tree on the island and then back to be dropped if at our accommodation. A thouroughly good day and I felt it was great value.

Great trip! The beginning was a bit chaotic because 3 boats were standing there and the guides kept putting people on the boats without saying what the plan was exactly. But that was all half as wild. The drive to the bay is beautiful in itself, along the coast with the rocks you have a breathtaking view. The bay itself is just indescribably beautiful, there weren't that many people there anymore, which is why you could really enjoy everything. The stay there is one hour, which is perfectly fine. Then we drove to the Blue Caves and got into one there - very, very exciting! Then a stop is made to swim and snorkel in the sea for another 15 minutes. Definitely recommended there - you could see some fish! FYI the boat is billed as a glass bottom boat but there are only 2 tiny hatches in the front. But it's not tragic either, because the water is so clear that you can see everything

Great tour! Our guide picked us up from our hotel and gave us great information about the island and places to see! He came with us on the boat and was a fantastic photographer for us as we visited the blue caves and shipwreck beach. The boar captain was extremely skilled and flexible to what we wanted to see and how much time we wanted to spend on the beach. The organizer was extremely helpful and communicative, and was flexible on start time which was great for us as we flew to the island that morning and needed a later start!

This was a fantastic experience! We visited the Shipwreck and went swimming in the sea then our guide took us to use stunning blue caves! We swam in 1 Cave and were able to get off the boat in another Cave to look right inside. I'd recommend this trip to anyone who loves an adventure

We had a very nice day. Shortened due to a plane to catch which is a shame but our guide was able to show us everything in due time. Great
