Private family boat tour in paradise - Our family of four did the private 3 hour tour of turtle watching and a stop to an island beach for swimming and snorkelling. It was amazing. We saw the turtles and had a lovely morning on a secluded beach. The small tour is much better than the huge overcrowded boats. And we started at 9am before it’s too busy and too hot! Our captain was friendly and it was just an impeccable and seamless tour.

Best trip of our holiday! - We had an incredible morning out on the 7 seater boat with Giannis. He took us out at 9am for a turtle spotting and Keri Caves tour with our 2 children aged 4and 6 who had not been on a boat before. Within minutes the children were totally at ease, lying at the front of the boat and loving every minute! We saw 3 Sea turtles within half an hour which was incredible, then onto the nesting beach for a swim, then onto the Keri Caves for another snorkel. The 2 hour trip was perfect for our young family, and couldn’t recommend Calypso enough, thank you so much for a fantastic holiday experience!

Five star operator! - Absolutely great tour of the bay, turtle island, the local caves, and of course the turtles! Our captain took us to see the turtles within 10 minutes after leaving the dock. We were also late but they held the boat for us. Tour operator is very kind and flexible. Boat was a good size to accommodate our party of 5. Only thing to be aware of is that this location is a bit far from the cruise port so budget some extra time to get there and to get back. Highly recommend this operator though.

great time with Yannis - As a couple with a 3 year old baby. 2 hour tour with Yannis. Great time in a small private boat, allowing us to access small coves where the larger tourist boats cannot go. Thanks to Yannis' piloting skills we were able to enter some magnificent little caves. Thank you again for this moment and for taking so many photos of us 😉.

Private is more information - It was stunning! ‘Justin’ was our captain and was nice and told us a lot of things. The boys saw some turtles and got into the water for a swim at an exeptable distance.
