Hydra-Poros-Aegina Islands One Day Cruise With Live Music Dancing & Buffet Lunch

A nice sampling of islands close to Athens

VIP experience was very good. We got a good snippet of each island. Now we know we want to return to Hydra! Walking tour on Hydra was quick and informative. Tour guide on Aegina was difficult to understand. I would skip the tour and just do my own thing.

Wonderful experience. Catarina was wonderful with us.

Wonderful experience. Catarina was wonderful with us and her patient. Just wished we had a little bit more time at the ports.

Great day

Was a great experience and real fun day. Friendly staff and service. Magnificent tours and places. Highly recommend it.

Would do it all again

Hydro was magical! I was disappointed by Poros ( not much there) and Angina involved piling onto a bus. The service and views from the ship more than made up for these minor disappointments. The dancing was a nice ending touch. The second meal could be skipped. I would do it again just like this.

One day trip - a great experience!

Great tours and scenery, really nice weather and was enjoyable even in November. The lunch was also great and perfect amount of time on each island.

Nice way to see multiple islands

Very nice cruise of the three Islands. Not sure any of the tours are truly necessary but they were informative. The VIP upgrade was worth it for us allowing us to have guaranteed seating for the cruise. The food was very good.

Canceled due to storms and announcements vis sms text. No answer from the tour about any changes in schedule. No refund.

Weather reports from local station said to cancel plans on the morning of the tour. Terrible lightening all night and I to the morning. After several calls to get information of the trip was still on, no answer. Due to the dangerous conditions we canceled to comply with the government announcements. I did talk with the captain the day after and our refund was not honored. I do t regret canceling due to the storm and dangerous conditions. The Captain and I agreed to disagree. She said to disregard the television and text announcements. I decided to take them as a serious announcement.

This tour company you can send you clear massage and direction.

Very good tour company promised pick up on time never failed food and service excelllent vip highly recomendable good organised drop off your tell love will it next time.

3 island tour in a day!

this is worthit! highly recommended! if you are in athens for 3-4 days i would suggest you allot 1 whole day for this activity tho i wish i stayed longer in poros or aegina such a beautiful place! quaint island with so many shops with local goodies and souvenirs!

VIP private cabin is the way to go

We loved this excursion! Hi highly recommend upgrading to VIP with the private cabin. It accommodates 4 and offers complete privacy in luxury accommodations. We enjoyed having dedicated chairs on the deck outside if the cabin, a bed, your own bathroom with a shower, personalized and attentive service along with excellent food. First to disembark as well. There is time spent on the ship and we appreciated the VIP treatment. Kostas and and his assistant Mary were fabulous! If you are considering a day cruise to the saronic gulf this company is the one to book it with!

Greek Island Day Cruise

There is an awful lot of time on the boat and the seats are not that comfortable. We enjoyed visiting the islands but you do not have much time on them. The lunch was quite basic and there was nothing to drink with it. You are being asked to upgrade to VIP to get better seats which was annoying. All the things on islands have to be purchased you could do on your own but have to be careful it sails away on time. My biggest upset was when we booked we were told 8am. The night before we were told it had changed to 7.30 am. This meant we could not have our breakfast at hotel which we had paid for, on arrival at the cruise we sat in dock until around 8.10 so we could have easily had breakfast. Many other people arrived between 7.30 and 8am. We did enjoy our day but would not do this trip again.

What a fantastic day.

We’ve been on previous trips to these islands however on this occasion we decided to pay for the VIP option. Best thing we have ever done. We were exceptionally well looked after by the team in a very comfortable lounge and had an excellent top restaurant style lunch. In addition the fast track on and of the ship was really appreciated. Thank you for a fantastic day.

Too much time on the boat vs. island time.

Too much time on the boat vs. on the islands. Also, tours were not worth the money charged. Would not suggest this to a friend.

A trip to remember

Sightseeing the fantastic landscapes and small towns on the islands are priceless. Therefore i recommend to leave the tourists more time to enjoy that.

Not picked up from hotel as booked

We booked hotel pickup but the driver insisted that he could not pick up from our hotel because he was not allowed to park there. We were given instructions to walk a few blocks. None of the other tours had any issues with hotel pickup. We were also not dropped off at the hotel and had to walk some ways to get back. Other than the transport, the tour was as expected and the staff on the boat was awesome.

Enjoyable day

Excellent and enjoyable day. Everything as promised. We were treated like VIPs by our personal waiter, Costas. Also had a enjoyable day on Hydra.

Worth doing, but not sure I’d do it again

This was overall a great trip and I’m glad we did it, but I’m not sure if I would do it again. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it’s a lot of time on the boat and not a lot of time on the islands. The islands were amazing and beautiful. Poros and Hydra were our favorites. Aegina was our least favorite and we had the most time there. If I ever come back to Greece I would go directly to Hydra and Poros for more time. The cruise was great. The food was good, the service was great. I got very seasick and there was an employee that treated me with so much kindness.

Great for a quick island getaway.

Would definitely recommend purchasing the V.I.P. package. We were treated like royalty and enjoyed seeing the three islands.

They cancelled twice last minute.

I would have given it a one star, but they at least attempted to communicate. The communication was super last minute and we didn’t have enough time to book a different activity since they canceled on us twice. We have been waiting for this trip for over a year and really looked forward to this. The reason for canceling last minute was because not enough folks bought tickets, which they could have just cancelled earlier but they wanted to wait until the last minute and see if more people would purchase tickets.

VIP Goddes

I booked VIP and it did not disappoint. Costas was our attendant and he catered to everything we needed. Full disclosure I was in VIP with one other person as this time of year is considered off- season. We missed the Poros island as the weather did not comply with us. I enjoyed a short donkey ride in Hydra and the tour of the city to Aegina was ok. The tour included a fish tasting which was Amazing as I would have never tried fresh Calamari, shrimp or Cod. For lunch I enjoyed the fish and grilled zucchini and squash VIP gets a separate dessert which was ok. This is a quick adventure but perfect for me as I did this as an activity on my last day. I recommend if you are looking to enjoy some sailing on the water adventures.

Ups and Downs for a Long Day

The views on this trip were incredible. The ferry rides can get a bit long and this is a long day trip. They will try to upsell your for two bus tours after you get on the boat. These are not necessary although if you like bus tours where there’s not frequent stops then they could be for you. They felt very rushed to us. That being said Hydra was our favorite island. We opted to go on a quick hike to the side of the bay. The view was gorgeous. Lots of friendly cats and horses about. The horseshoe bay was stunning. Poros was smaller. 45 minute stop. The view was incredible. More boats and people about. You can walk to a clock tower as snap a photo but that’s about all the time you have. There’s a delicious Greek bakery in the market a few blocks from the port. Was worth the stop. The lunch was a basic chicken/fish and sides lunch. Nothing special there. The live music was also just a man on a keyboard. Though entertaining it could have been better. Aegina was a bigger port with a gorgeous sunset. We took a bus tour to a monastery that was built relatively recently and we were stunned. Such beautiful architecture for a new structure. Detailed artwork and tile work were incredible. The sunset view on the ride back was worth the whole trip. Those views I will remember for the rest of my life. Such beautiful colors on the water with the little island towns was just stunning. The dancers were entertaining on the ride back. Half the boat was asleep at this point but the other half had a good time. All in all this trip was totally worth it but after doing it once I don’t think we’d go back. 8/10.

Nice day trip !

Great organized. Friendly staff. VIP formula is highly recommended. Dedicated staff, drinks and food included. Also enjoyed the entertainment on board.

Three beautiful islands in a single day.

This tour of three beautiful Greek islands was a perfect capstone to our 2 week Italy/Greece vacation. We chose to purchase the "VIP" ticket and were happy we did. The extra expense allowed us to use an interior cabin which was quiet and well tended. Katerina was our tour staff. Katerina did a great job of shepherding the guests in the VIP lounge through the various visits. She was upbeat, high energy and enthusiastic about her work. All three of the islands were worth visiting. Everyone will have their individual favorite. It takes about 12 hours but it's a fun day with lots of breaks. PROS: Great WiFi so we could use devices during the hour-plus trips to the next island. Food - quality was good. They picked us up and dropped us off in a comfortable van. They gave excellent walking tours or bus tours of each island which we participated in each time. CONS: Women's bathroom was in poor shape. The boat was not the one pictured in the ad, it was smaller and older and less of a "yacht." Our cruise had some strong rocking about, and I regretted eating the entire meal just before this started (though I didn't get seasick, just bounced about).

A great trip and visit but terrible pickup drop off experience

We cruised to three islands. Hydra and Poros were exceptionally great views and unique cultural facts. The trip was overall great and there was a buffet and dancers organized. They kept to time and it was well managed. My only advice is that you don’t request their transport. The lady who picked us up and dropped us was so rude and get completely misleading information on which bus to get into and then continued to be condescending throughout our time with her. So as long as you organize your own pick up and drop off, it’s totally worth it.

My experience may not be typical....

First, I will say that those involved with the outward facing customer service did a great job and the best that they could, for sure. However, I'd give my particular experience a "poor" rating: The island time was very, very rushed. Our particular ride was extremely rough and the ship was taking a beating. Glasses were falling and breaking, people we getting sick and falling. I was wondering if we should even be out in those conditions, with those waves, frankly. I do understand that this is beyond anyone's control (unless they were warned to not go out), but, again, the entire day suffered because of this. The captain and all involved did a great job trying to provide, but it really impacted the entire trip as the shortened times on each island made it impossible to see hardly anything or enjoy the experience. I was disappointed that we had taken a day to this.

Island hopping near Athens

The trip and views were incredible. I splurged and purchased the VIP package as saw some previous reviews mentioned it. Positive about VIP were Kostas our personal attendant who was great, private section on boat, priority entry/departure from boat and seeing that it was a long journey, a place to recline and nap before getting to destination. As for downside, snacks provided were a bag of chips and a plate of a dozen toast points with some sort of spread for the four VIP guest. Not the VIP snacks I was imagining. Lunch was decent combination of a bit of everything from the buffet all the other customers had but just served to us by Kostas. Not sure an extra 100 euro per person for this VIP experience was worth it. I would stick with the general ticket and prepare myself for a very long boat ride of 2-3 hours between each island. It was definitely a must see for someone looking for something to do.

One day Saronic Islands tour

The cruise was terrific. Would recommend the VIP upgrade. Islands were beautiful. Nice way to get a feel for the islands. Not a lot of time at each but good tours while there

A wonderful VIP experience

My mom and I had a great time on this day cruise. We booked the VIP ticket, which is well worth the price. You get a hotel pickup, a private indoor and outdoor lounge area, are first off the boat at each stop, and best of all, are taken care of the entire time by the lovely Kostas, who serves as a private waiter in the VIP lounge. This guy is a hard worker and super nice, so I hope everyone who goes on this experience tips him well at the end. He deserves it. A 10/10 experience.

VIP Ship Island Tours Was Worth It!

What a wonderful time we had on our big ship visiting three beautiful and fun Greece islands. We went with the VIP package and would never consider anything else. It was fabulous every step of the way. Everything was taken care of in every detail. Yes, it did cost just a bit more, but how often will we ever get to experience this type of tour to three beautiful islands in Greece. I would strongly recommend anyone visiting Greece to take this day-long visit and be treated like royalty.

One day tour for those in a rush

It was described as a buffet, but it's not really a buffet. Drinks are also not included. HOWEVER, service was awesome. There were guided tours of the islands and there was time to explore a bit in between. Recommend if you're in a time crunch, but would recommend a single island tour if there's time.

Well organized tour.

We loved Hydra the most of the three islands. Not a usual fan of large tours but this one is well done. The ship is spacious and comfortable. The crew was outstanding. The pickup from our Airbnb was precisely at 7:30 as stated and the driver found us in the crowd for the return. Well done tour!

Just wonderful!

We really enjoyed this one day 3 island cruise. I booked the VIP ticket and I am so happy that I did. Kostas was our private server and he was so kind. The food was delicious. Being able to visit three of the other islands was great and we had enough time to spend on each island to shop, eat and explore. I would definitely do it again.

disappointment

there was a bit of music going on and off boat . otherwise it was a long boring trip . the only reason i booked this boat was because i thought i would be entertained

Amazing!

We went on this tour at the end of july and it was amazing. It’s a very easy way to discover 3 incredible islands. The transfer from our hotel went very well and all the staff on the boat was very kind. It was a highlight of our trip and we definitely recommand it!

Nice experience

Booked a VIP , it was good but below expectations when it come to food and the rest rooms which was shared with others

Wonderful

I totally recommend, the trip was wonderful and the service was excellent. The pick up and return service was on time, with nice drivers and air conditioning. Also, the communication with the travel agency was prompt and very good, they are indeed, as they say, there for you 24/7. Thank you very much for the experience, it was worth every cent!

Rushed 3 island trip

Too much crammed into 1 day and long time at sea. Better to visit just 1 island and they are very similar. Food line was too long and food was mediocre

Can you trust them?

Trip was canceled the night before. Money refunded but very disappointed. Entire day had been planned around this trip. No reason given other than “circumstances beyond our control”. Weather was excellent

Worth every penny.

This was one of the highlights of our stay in Greece. The ship was well-maintained and the service was excellent. The excursions onto the islands were fantastic.

Amazing

The cruise was amazing with wonderful service. The islands were gorgeous, and the scenery indescribable. Pick up and return service was on time and excellent. Thank you, it was the trip of a lifetime for me and my son.

Awesome adventure

I was concerned when we got on the boat and there were so many people getting on but it didn’t seem crowded at all. We had a relaxing enjoyable experience visiting 3 islands. The staff was more than accommodating and pleasant.

Great Experience

Great good, great experience visiting the 3 Islands. Definitely would recommend getting the VIP package.

Amazing experience

Amazing experience And would suggest using Crispy Local they were amazing. Great knowledge of Athens and tours

Making memories

Was a memorable experience.we thoroughly enjoyed it. We would thoroughly recommend it. Katherina made our trip extra special with her amazing service

3 islands, amazing day!

If you want to see as many islands as you can in one day this is the perfect tour. We went in three islands and we had amazing time. Also in the boat he had an endless party with a live band and dancers.The buffet was rich and very tasty with traditional flavors. If i will come again to Greece i will difinitely choose the same tour!

Great one day cruise

This one day cruise is the perfect way to see these 3 islands and have a real great time! Personally the island that i liked the most was Hydra! If i could i would have stayed there some more days. The service was excellent and the staff very happy to serve. I would 100% recommend this cruise!

Excellent tour of three islands

A bit of a quick hitter but that’s what you expect given the time. Left us wanting to go back to each and spend more time. Wonderful staff.

Fabulous one day tour!!

We had a fantastic time on this tour of 3 Greek islands. We took the VIP option and have no regrets. We were picked up by a very polite driver (sorry I neglected to get his name) in a very clean & comfortable vehicle. Our VIP lounge attendant, Kosta, was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The meals were very tasty & well presented. We took the walking tour in Hydra as our complimentary tour & we purchased the Panoramic bus tour in Aegina. We did not have the V.I.P. meet with the Captain or visit to the cruise ship's bridge; but no worries as we were well entertained by the singer & dancers. I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing day visiting the greek iskands!

Totally worth it! Is an alternative way to see as many as possible and feel some of the greek spirit. It was really entertaining and fun with tasty greek food and greek dance! I recommend it to anyone that wants to have a full day fun experience on the water!

A day on the islands…

I took the Tour from the hotel. We went to the port, I had coffee at Cruzeiro for a fee. The ride was cool… but you spend a lot of time in the water. I missed going to the beach, because on the island I could go to, I also did a Tour, and when I came back the boat was already leaving. But the feeling is very wonderful. Lunch was delicious. And the visit to the islands was toppp. I enjoyed it a lot, I didn't have enough time for more days. So the one-day visit to the islands was highly beneficial.
