Good value for money.
Easy to book. Good value for money. Meet address directions could be better described for ease of location. Swimming in the sea was beautiful. Beaches not as beautiful as expected. Rock formations along the coastline are very interesting and the colours are stunning.

Great boat tour!
We had a lovely morning cruise with beautiful swimming spots. Would totally recommend.

Best experience!
What an amazing experience! The beaches and swims were well worth the price and you saw many different spots which cannot be accessed unless taken there by boat. 2 hours was the perfect amount of time, there were 8 people all together on our boat but not cramped at all. Best swims I’ve had in my life, the music was a vibe and Pano our guide was absolutely fantastic!! 10/10 would do this again!

Defo give this trip a try out!
A superb trip and great value for money! What a beautiful coastline and what a way to see it!

A very bad start but a fabulous finish.
The first part of my adventure was nice as I was promptly picked up at my hotel by a kind young gentleman. Then it went straight downhill to extremely disappointing. Before I even got onto the boat I was met by a very rude man, who was responsible for taking my money. Of course, he claimed that my card was declined, which seems to be the thing in this region, because they prefer cash, which of course I had and readily paid, although I try to preserve my cash in order to avoid ATM fees and poor exchange rates. Then he proceeded to speak to a coworker in his native language while staring and gesturing at me while laughing. It was very odd, and the two young German women standing next to me were also taken aback by his behavior, and kindly tried to tell me that he was clearly just “playing” with me, but it didn’t feel like playing. It felt like targeting. I’m a 67 year old American woman traveling solo, and although I’m advanced in age, I am very strong and an exceptional swimmer and athlete. Why was he singling me out? Yes I was the oldest, but no one with me on that excursion had my abilities in the water. Clearly he thought that I was not capable of the adventure ahead of me, but why? My silver hair? I’ve never before experienced such treatment, and I was looking forward to the opportunity to confront his behavior, but he stayed on land, so I never got the chance. It ruined the first beach visit for me, because I had done nothing to deserve such rude treatment and I was clearly singled out. When the next boat came to pick us up, I was in no mood for more targeting or bullying….whatever you want to call it. But Nicolas was our skipper and after a short time, I was back to enjoying myself and the spectacular excursion he took us on. I am a lover of the ocean and make a point to experience every ocean no matter where I travel, and I have never seen anything like I did today. The beauty of the crystal clear, blue waters, splashing up against magnificent shear cliffs was overwhelming. We ended our cruise in a magical place for a 30 minute swim, and I didn’t get out of that water until I had no choice. Thank you Nicolas for making my excursion such a positive experience after it was nearly ruined by an immature, and extremely rude man who should NEVER be responsible for greeting customers. That is not how any excursion should begin, and he should be reassigned to another position that does not involve people. Perhaps he’ll finally understand when he gets to be my age, but he’s got a lot of growing up to do first. Otherwise, he’s going to meet up with someone who won’t tolerate such bad behavior. Take the excursion as it is worth it, but if you encounter the middle aged bald man who takes your money, and he treats you badly, do not tolerate it.

Paleokastritsa Corfu: Paradise, Yali Beach & Blue Caves Boat Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Corfu.
How much does Paleokastritsa Corfu: Paradise, Yali Beach & Blue Caves Boat Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $66 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Corfu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Paleokastritsa Corfu: Paradise, Yali Beach & Blue Caves Boat Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Corfu is not rushed.
Is Paleokastritsa Corfu: Paradise, Yali Beach & Blue Caves Boat Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Corfu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Paleokastritsa Corfu: Paradise, Yali Beach & Blue Caves Boat Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Paleokastritsa Corfu: Paradise, Yali Beach & Blue Caves Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Paleokastritsa Corfu: Paradise, Yali Beach & Blue Caves Boat Tour?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Corfu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Corfu and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paleokastritsa Corfu: Paradise, Yali Beach & Blue Caves Boat Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Corfu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Corfu?
+
On Outty we rank every Corfu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Food and Cultural Tour in Corfu, Full Day Cruise from Corfu in Classic Wooden Vessel, Swim & BBQ, Paxos Antipaxos and Blue Lagoon Full Day Semi-Private Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Corfu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Corfu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Paleokastritsa Corfu: Paradise, Yali Beach & Blue Caves Boat Tour?
+
Included: Bottled water. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
