Great day - Great day to swim and see the temple of Apollo and meet people. Clean bathroom, and awesome hosts. Lunch was a light, simple but perfect amount for the time. Loved it.

Fun day in the sun on a great boat - I had the most amazing day on this boat and with this incredible crew. Galatea is a beautiful old wooden vessel—full of character and charm—and truly part of the whole experience. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, relax, take a nap, read, or just enjoy good conversation without ever feeling crowded.
The atmosphere on board was relaxed and generous, with plenty of food and drinks throughout the day—including wine, beer, and a celebratory ouzo at the end. One of the highlights was swimming together to Despotiko, everyone bobbing along with pool noodles, slowly making their way across the clear blue water.
As we began our walk to the temple of Apollo, we suddenly heard little voices behind us—turns out the captain’s two young sons (around 8 years old) had swum across on their own to join the group. They proudly became our little tour guides, and it added such a sweet, personal touch to the adventure.
By the end of the day, it felt less like a tour and more like a family outing—a truly special, one-of-a-kind experience I can’t recommend enough.

A Day Well Spent! - We enjoyed every minute of this excursion! The crew (the caption & Fabio) was very friendly, dependable, and funny. Every stop was stunning. The boat was comfortable and the bathroom was tidy. Our snacks and lunch were delicious. It was nice that the boat had some areas that were covered, in case you wanted to be in the shade or sheltered from wind or splashes.

Unforgettable boat day in Paros!!! - Spent an unforgettable day on a boat in Paros with friends, and it was easily a highlight of the trip. The views were stunning, with hidden coves and crystal-clear water everywhere we stopped. The crew was welcoming and fun, making us feel relaxed the entire time. They served fresh, delicious food on board that felt like a proper Greek feast in the middle of the sea. Swimming, laughing, and taking in the views with great people made it a day I’d do again in a heartbeat.

Great fun, bring something warm! - This was such a fun tour! Our group was one of 6 teenagers. The food was good and plentiful and the drinks were also delicious. The water was absolutely beautiful and it was so fun to swim in. There was also a lot of room to lie down and sunbathe. Unfortunately, the sun wasn’t really out and it got very cold. I’d highly recommend a warm jacket and blanket.

Sights were beautiful,... - Sights were beautiful, food was alright, tour guides were bothered. I was looking forward to this boat tour but when we got on the boat the tour guides acted like they couldn't wait to go home. They did not explain any of the islands we stopped at, I used google maps to understand where I was. The captain was watching Facebook videos the entire time and was bothered when you engaged him. Also the itinerary on Viator for this is wrong, if says you will go to the caves on Anti Paros, but you don't. If you're looking for a fun party atmosphere, don't go with this tour.
