Relaxing boat trip off Skiathos

See the Blue Caves

Swim or sunbathe on Lalaria beach

Tsougrias Island and free time

What we expect

Discover Skiathos from a different perspective on this cruise. You'll see the famous Blue Caves of the north coast, enjoy downtime on Lalaria and Kastro beaches, free time in Katigiorgis, as well as a stop at Tsougrias Island.

Relax on deck in the morning sun as you sail past the Blue Caves – a string of sea grottoes carved into the coastline – en route to the island's most beautiful beach, Lalaria. This sweep of white pebbles is a little slice of heaven and only accessible by boat. Follow this up with a stop at Kastro beach, where you can sunbathe...

Trip round island!

Booked trip to see north island as buses don’t go, especially Kastro, old capital but due to rough seas could only see briefly from boat along with Lalaria beach. Sea was very choppy and captain will only go if safe. Went other way round due to this & stopped at Tsougrias first for hour then went to another beach past Koukounaries before lunch at Katigiorgis on Greek mainland which was pretty. Not a lot to see other than views/beaches but expect better if can stop in Kastro to see church.

I realise we have no control over the weather. and it's a fine line to need the revenue, not let people down against safety. But I felt the line that was chosen could have been an earlier decision on behalf of the older and young children. I am all for adrenaline ride but I did not feel safe, the waves were really rough to the point of the boats high and lows were something I haven't experienced before, all on board ere holding on in fear. Boat did turn round, they tried to give a better experi

Seating was uncomfortable. The beaches were shingly. The last beach was described as, on a par with the Caribbean, which it certainly was not.

Booked only because my wife wanted to see blues caves and lararia beach. Looks like a big lie .

Whilst I understand that weather pays a big part in this trip. All private boats informed their customers that they could not sail to lalaria beach yesterday evening. Had we known this we would’ve cancelled which is probably why we didn’t get told yesterday. We understand that the itinerary could be changed because of weather, it was changed for 2 stops at Tsougaria beach……why 2? And Agia Eleni beach by where we are staying (5 times we have already been there) Really disappointed. Not again

I think the advertisement needs to be more specific! It needs to say that winds 20 and above will lead to lalaria being missed out! This was the main place we wanted to see. If we’d known the above we would have booked the trip on a less windy day.

I would've preferred longer to look around the ruins of Kastro and less time on the pebble beach I found the interesting places were given the least time to look around

Excellent jolly staff Good stop off’s with enough time for a swim. NB: Little shade available if you are sun shy. Excellent lunch stop- don’t worry that all in one restaurant- it was cheap with gorgeous food. Please note this trip is not exclusive to TUI so too many people on boat for my liking.

This was by far the best boat trip of our holiday! The crew were amazing and so friendly. The beaches were breathtaking and the stop for lunch on the mainland was such good value for money and delicious too! Would 100% recommend this trip - but don't forget your beach shoes as they are essential on the pebbly beaches.

Terrible TUI service with no rep

We did not get picked from our hotel. Apparently we were supposed to get a taxi over 2 miles away to the ‘pick up point’ which would have cost us another €20-25 each way.

Everything was fantastic my only small gripe I wish I knew in advance which beach had the restaurants

Sylvia

I thought that the cruise was predominantly aimed at people who wanted to swim and sunbathe. The beaches we stopped at, apart from the last one, were stones and shale and therefore hard on your feet. The time on the water was great and the staff were lovely. A very slick operation.

A full day vlaue for money trip

Loved the stops at Lalaria and Katagioris. The stoney beach at Lalaria needs beach shoes for getting in & out of the water. Katagioris was very quaint and we loved our food in the Blue taverna. We only had a drink at the shack taverna at Kasto because the narrow path climb to the castle would have been too much for me. The guide should have stated this. I would miss the last island of Tsougarias out completely. was very tired by this time and it wasn't as nice as stated. Needs tweets x

The upgrade to transfer was hassle free and good value. The guide and bartender was really lovely and gorgeous and brought good vibes but unfortunately the passengers were a little sedated? The itinerary was well planned however I would skip Skougrias island as the beach can't compare with Lalaria beach. Would have been better to properly explore the Blue caves instead. Toilets on the boat don't have locks on them so I've had people push open while I'm in there. Overall really great experience!

Very enjoyable day, solo traveller got looked after. Enough time at the places. Crew were lovely it's laid back, it's not a party cruise it's relaxing. Fully recommend excellent value for money.

The day was very enjoyable, however, the crew did not interact with the people on board. In fact some were downright miserable. The look on some of their faces suggested that they really didn’t want to be there

Underwhelming beaches mostly shale not sand. Overpriced tavernas on beaches and two many boats landing at same time left it feeling overcrowded most of the day

The first two beaches were not great,stony and no facilities at the first stop. The lunch stop was lovely though and the final stop nice too. The boat was far too crowded,hard to find a seat so people were getting back on board early to try and find seats!

Lovely round island boat trip from Skiathos Port on the Calypso. Lalaria, Kastro, the lunch stop in Pelion and finally Tsgouria beaches. The first two beaches we stayed 50 minutes and the lunch stop 3 hours, although I think it was too long as there is no shade to escape the sun on the beach.

The boat was full but not too crowded. The staff were helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We stopped at 5 beaches and they were all lovely, especially Lalaria Beach. The length of each stop was good to have a swim and dry off before getting back on the boat. The lunch time stop on the mainland was a lovely small beach with two traditional tavernas to choose from. The trip was really good value for money and the boat was comfy. Transfers from our hotel included. 8 hour trip!

Dilly

The beaches were beautiful and very much the best part. The scenery was amazing and well worth the trip. We were sitting at the back near the engine, which was noisy, and made it difficult to hear the guide and the bar, we thought, was overpriced.

Great way to get to some of the beaches you otherwise never would know about. Really good value for money and a great day out. The only thing that could improve is the organisation of the coaches for transfer back to the hotel after the boat trip finished. It wasn’t clear what coaches was going where and some simple signage would have helped. Apart from that strongly recommend.

Beautiful beaches especially Lalaria and a lovely stop at a local Greek taverna for lunch, supporting the local community. Helpful and friendly staff throughout the day. This is the second time we've been on this trip and it wasstill just as magical as thr first time. Perhaps as a way of improving the trip it would have been nice to spend more time at Lalaria and miss out the last beach. Also the boat seemed very overcrowded.

Busy boat! Interesting to go round whole island and gave ideas for trips to some beaches etc.

Fabulous day out - different beaches with some beautiful coastal scenery in between. Loved the beach with the tavernas but not so keen on being shoehorned to one particular one by the crew. I avoided it and went to another which was great value for money and an added bonus of a 'postcard' view.

Lalaria was amazing for swimming - water so clear and colours of the seas were spectacular. Had a delicious lunch in Katagiorgi of fresh fish and lobster spaghetti Can thoroughly recommend this trip,around the island.

Everything ran on time.The trip was interesting and fun,stopped at good beaches and a good value taverna (€50 for 4 food and drinks).

Good to see right around the Island, a small cove on the mainland and lots of swim stops where the boat took you right onto the beach. Worst bit was other passengers assuming they had to have exactly the same seat on the boat when you got back on after a stop and insisting you moved and got quite confrontational ??

Work was being done at Kastro so we couldn’t visit this and we weren’t told that until we were on the boat. Also not long enough at Tsougria.

Im glad the captain changed course for the rough weather, but not so glad he then sailed through it for half the trip - very bouncy waves and I was seasick. Commentary on the beaches and facts was excellent. Happy hour was excellent Boat was comfortable Restaurant for lunch was poor quality - it may be 10% off but we wishes we had checked out the other two venues. The private island was excellent and the walk to the church for hte views well worth it.

TTatts

This has the potential to be a brilliant day out - the stops for swimming and lunch are lovely. The boat seems to get over booked - the guide said there are seats for everyone but that wasn’t our experience on the day we went. We had to stand for some parts of the trip.

We didn't like that there were no reps in resort. A message sent to the reps would be answered within 24 hours, which could be useless. And you need to be somewhere with wifi to send the message, and then you wouldn't get the reply unless you were again somewhere with wifi (we turn off data roaming when abroad as there is a charge every day that it is used). Holiday was great but we had to vacate the room 11am for an 8.15pm flight, and nowhere available to shower and change b4 the transfer

Sarah

Traveled as As a couple - 31 years old

The crew seemed miserable and not a good tour guide at all. They were fixing the boat whilst we were on it and covered it oil. We only had 45 mins at two nice beaches then 2hours plus at a restaurant mainland one that was not as nice. Then taken back instead of going to the final destination. They said weather bad but we can see boats still going out. It was a rough crossing over to mainland and no announcement of not to worry. Mamma Mia trip with same crew much better!

Boat trip was great and the destinations were fabulous. The option for lunch that was chosen was fine, not great though

Overall a good day, the last stop at Tsougrias was just a waste of time. The beach bar music was too loud the staff were extremely rude. Ruined the end of a beautiful day.

Boat felt too crowded, indeed some people walked away. Not enough seats. Was it safe?? Too many boats landed on the Lalani beach at the same time. It was good to visit a small harbour on mainland Greece, it seemed we were the only tourist boat. Overall not our best boat trip whilst on holiday.

Really enjoyable , excellent value and the guide on the boat explained every stop and point of interest, along with each place’s history. We saw some real gems and the small port of Katagiorgis was beautiful .

Disappointing boat trip. Change to planned visit to Lalaria beach did not happen because of alleged windy weather, but learned later that other trips had visited that day

AC

Very noisy on lower deck, so best to sit on upper deck, would have preferred smaller boat as normally more personal. Enjoyed stopping a different beaches, and at the Pelion on mainland for lunch, which was excellent value for money.

If snacks and drinks were included that would be nice - maybe one drink per customer included in price? Other than that it was perfect

We saw dolphins, beautiful beaches and had probably the best lunch we ever had anywhere. Wonderful day cruising, we’ll maintained boat and wonderful crew. A truly lovely day..

Holiday with daughter

Great tour, lovely beaches. Clean boat and able to be in shade. Loved the taverna for lunch. Even saw dolphins. If being picky… I couldn’t hear what the lovely staff were saying about the sights… but this is picky as generally the tour was fab!

October 2021

Although the route was changed due to sea conditions, the trip was still amazing. We were fully informed during the whole of the journey - where we were going and why the names of Places came about. We were taken to some beautiful islands and lunch was a real treat with a variety of food available.

September 2021

Was disappointed that the boat was very full and expected that there would be less people particularly due to the pandemic.
