Beautiful day spent! - What a wonderful experience and day! The boat trip was beautiful (go early to grab a cushion on the boat front to get sun) to the cave and island. The crew was friendly, helpful, and the lunch was delicious!!! They provide swim noodles and snorkel items at the cave and swim spot to use if you’d like. This was a very nice day. Highly recommend.

Tutto bellissimo! - Everything was perfect. Crew on board was fantastic. Food has been amazing and in good quantity. Complete with a double snack (watermelon and cake) during our journey back. The best of the best on Mikros Kosmos. A pleasure trip with typical songs and no loud or annoying music.

Getting away from it all… - Boat is beautiful. Food is excellent and plentiful. Our captain and crew were delightful. All three locations we went to were true highlights we would recommend everyone visit… if you want to bask in the bluest of clear waters. Bring a towel and waterproof shoes. Winds are high and the salt water spiky at times but the view from the front is incredible!

Beautiful boat trip but communication was lacking - Rhina’s cave is unforgettable. The clear blue water is absolutely gorgeous. The food was simple but delicious. Do not expect any fancy service. Two notes. 1) We spent 1h at the cave and 2h30 at Koufonisia. The remaining 5-6h was traveling. 2) Communication with the crew was not the strong side. No safety instructions were given and no briefing of the ride. We received no tips on what to do while in Koufonisia. When anchoring by Rhina’s cave, the crew started yelling at us to sit down. We only understood that we could stand up again when we saw Greek tourists jumping in the water.

Full day on the water in Naxos - The boat was very comfortable with many options for shade and sun loungers. Sailing to Rina Cave and to Koufonisia was scenic and beautiful. Lunch on the boat was pretty good. Stop at Koufonisia was enjoyable for the pretty beach but there was no option for shade and we had to rent beach chairs and umbrella for 15 euros per person. There is nothing to do in the port, was dropped off there for 3.5 hours which was too long. Had to provide our own transportation to and from Agia Anna port. Told to be there at 9am and finished at 7pm. Long day for us.

It was ok - Good: the BBQ was tasty and there was plenty. The staff was very kind. There was plenty of wine and water to drink which were included in the ticket. Should be noted: We spent a long time swimming at a random spot and then 3 hours on an island and then a very slow boat ride to, from, and in-between. This left only 30ish minutes for the cave which was the reason I booked the tour. The bathrooms were a mess as well.

Be prepared for a very long day - A very long day sailing. The boat was hugely overcrowded, the snorkel masks were ALL broken and nobody cared. Average lunch. 3 hours on Koufanisia which was beautiful but most of the little shops were closed. The water was stunning, the cave was cool but the boat and the hours travelling made for an exhausting day.

Just nice… - The best part of the tour was swimming in the Rina cave. We stayed there maybe an hour. Lunch was served there. The food selection was very average with pork skewers and a sausage dish in tomato sauce of sorts. There was a selection of pasta and green salad with fried potatoes. It was just ok. Then we went to Koufonisia. It was a small village with a nice beach and lovely crystal waters. We were there for 3 hours which was way too long. It was a nice experience but nothing to rave about.

Explore Rina Cave and Koufounisia Cruise from Naxox - I wrote to Tripadvisor and Viator, but no reply , so I leave a review hoping to take this message into account. I booked on your website this excursion for Sunday 06 July 2025 on 12 June for an amount of 150 € for two ( 2 x 75 € ) and I was collected the next day. I haven't received any confirmation, let alone electronic tickets. At 10 days, I don't know...... I booked 4 more between 30 June and 08 July and I did not encounter any problem.
