10/10 boat tour - I loved how customizable this tour was in terms of timing. We decided how long we wanted to swim during each stop (within the 3 hours). The different shades of blue were mesmerizing. Justin was great!

Everything perfect - Great organization, our skipper Justin made us visit every point of the island with great professionalism, showing us even the smallest and hard to reach caves. Adapted to our requests managing to make us tour a little 'out of the crowd of tourists, and we enjoyed the beauty of the sea without the crowd of boatloads of tourists. Laura organized a great tour and also gave us directions on what to do in the following days. Really Recommendation

Perfect Itinerary - AMAZING… from start to finish! “Justin Beebs” as our skipper made it worth 7 circles out of 5 (if that was an option). Everything from the initial communication to the drop off was professional, very clear and promised. FYI - There are a couple of operators, so be sure to know which person you are dealing with (as we used their WhatsApp to communicate). The ONLY THING I recommend to “change” - use / get a branded umbrella with Calypso on top. For you driving to port, park IN THE big lot and find them there. DO NOT use the cafe as a starting point to find the “check-in” We skipped the turtle island stop and asked Justin to show us his faves - that was the best indeed. Make sure to swim in Pisina Beach (our fave and least crowded). You will see some stops before where you will want to stop, but refrain and trust the “Beebs”

Perfect choice for us - I’d spent a fair amount of time researching various boat options - this one won due to the reviews and the fact that it wasn’t going to be a crowded boat full of noisy people. We had a lovely, relaxing time with Tassos as our guide and captain. He pointed out all the highlights and got us into and back out of a number of amazing caves. What we also liked was that the Calypso guides tried their best to locate the last few turtles of the season for us, but in a less invasive and aggress way than some of the others we were surrounded by. There are other operators that play loud music for the tour, as well as during swim stops - not our sort of thing. Overall, we definitely chose the right company for us; everyone was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and the boats appear in great shape too.

Recommend - It was over all a great experience!! Sakis was a very professional guide, and made our day complete, by giving us good information during the day about the schedule, and in general very chatty, helpful and friendly! This company is lucky to have him as a teammate! Give him a big raise🥳🥳🥳

Excellent day on the water - Great day on the water. Tour operator was friendly and accommodating. Our captain was skilled and friendly. Got to see the sea turtles. And with the small boat, our captain was able to take us into small caves and coves for swimming. Price made this a great value. Would highly recommend!

Better than a big boat tour any day! - We knew when we came to the Island that a boat tour was on the ‘must do’ list but we couldn’t decide between a big boat (cheaper) or small boat (more personal but more expensive). After spending a LOT of time on trip advisor we went for a small boat tour with Calypso. And it was absolutely the right decision! When we saw how crammed the big boats were, we knew that was not going to be much fun! I was a bit worried that we might be on an old, tatty boat with an old unfriendly captain which might spoil the smaller boat option - but neither of these things were the reality. Our Captain, Mikkas (probably not spot right, sorry!) was lovely and a manoeuvred our boat into some really small caves that the big boats had no chance of getting into. He made us laugh and was so friendly. And the boat was beautiful. Really couldn’t have faulted anything. We also saw a turtle (amazing!) and Mikkas was able to keep us right near to it until it surfaced for air which the bigger boats just couldn’t do, and not everyone could stand in the right place to be able to see it on the bigger boat. So yes, we 100% recommend a small boat private tour with Calypso. Thank you so much!

Dreamlike water - a wonderful experience - Beautiful boat trip along the picturesque coast. Our Captain Makis of Calypso Tours in Keri Beach was very attentive, took many photos and took us to beautiful places. On a beach we were even alone!!!! We were able to jump into the water several times and enjoy this great blue. The caves are beautiful and the color of the water incredible. A really nice, unforgettable experience!!!Shouldn't be missed!!!

Very nice family trip - Tour is in general very nice - beaches and caves are amazing - water is beautiful, clean and the most clear water ever. Especially the final hidden beaches Are amazing. Turtle spotting is limited (we saw one in the harbor). Captain was a very good and save driver- even with the traffic of other tours very safely but not very talkative and informative. Agenda is flexibel (you can stay at the places as long as you want) but within the set agenda, so no other possibilities. Be aware of the time (we went at 9am) because it is getting incredible hot at the boat. Take water, sun protection and caps with you. When you go with kids: expecation management is key- do not promise anything (eg turtle spotting). They will love riding with the boat and enjoy caves and beaches.
