Just keep in mind at the beginning of the boat ride, it’s a bit rough, so if you get sea sick easily make sure to take medicine. Our tour guide does have travel gum, so it does help with the nausea.”

Our guides were very gracious and kind. Our group size was small, 7 people, in comparison to many of the Catamarans which had very large groups. The small group made for a great experience and left plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the cruise. We rented a car on Santorini, and were able to park right at Vlyhada Marina where the cruise departed from. Our cruise was rescheduled to depart an hour earlier and the company…”

“Beautiful tour, the views and swimming were fantastic. Food was OK. The water was super rough though which made me seasick. They have medication but it's not suitable for breastfeeding mothers (I went with my 9 month old daughter). Also, the boat was difficult to walk on especially in the choppy waves, which made it difficult to carry the baby and it would probably be hard for someone with mobility issues. We also had to walk across other boats to get on ours. Overall a great experience though.”
