★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 804 reviews · 5 hours · from $67

Review of Trogir’s five-hour speedboat tour to the Blue Lagoon, Maslinica, and Duga Bay, with practical tips on timing, value, and families.

“Really enjoyed this trip and can't believe how quickly it went. Sites visited were varied and all beautiful, but in hindsight we would consider a longer eight hour trip as the time flew by. Transportation was really convenient and they even offered to pick us up from our resort pier the day before. Contact and instructions were excellent. Boat was well equipped for our children and for everyone who wanted to swim.”

Review of Milos’ 5-hour Volcano Boat cruise to Kleftiko, Sykia Cave, and quiet swimming spots, with snorkeling, snacks, and free photos.

“We had an amazing day with the ‘Volcano’ crew exploring the southern part of Milo’s. Although it was quite windy that morning, we stopped at 4 different swimming/snorkelling spots which were very well protected from the wind and with calm, absolutely stunning waters & views. The crew were all very friendly, fun & knowledgeable. Would 100% recommend this tour - loved it!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 252 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $163

Review of Milos’ five-hour speedboat cruise to Kleftiko, with caves, snorkeling, swimming, snacks, drinks, and free photo footage.

“This boat experience was our favorite activity out of everything we did while visiting Greece!!! We made 4 stops that were sufficient time to snorkel, swim, take pictures, rest and relax! Sikia cave and Kleftiko are obviously highlights but were insanely gorgeous and the boat crew kept us away from other boats/tours. The next two stops were also incredible. One was for snorkeling following a crew member and the other was a stop where there were a few tiny beaches. Go pro pics were taken underwater at the first stop and drone pics were taken at the tiny beach stop. So fun and the pictures were sent the next day…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 155 reviews · from $47

Review of Phi Phi’s $47 speedboat tour to Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Monkey Bay, snorkeling spots, sunset, and glowing plankton.

“Great day! The water was clear, we saw so many fish including ones I hadn’t seen in Koh Tao or Krabi, including a small shark. Our guide team was very professional, friendly and helpful. Our leader Ax took amazing photos of everyone and encouraged us to take pictures at each stop. The water was a bit rocky during the sunset viewing, but the bioluminescent plankton was very cool. It’s a bit pricey but a nice day.”
