Best day Cruise we've had
Second time with Ionian Cruise but this time to mainland. The places are mind blowing but the cruise makes it easy and accessible. Early start to get a nice coffee and enjoy the history of Corfu and the rest of the places in at least 6 different languages, stop to each place for a free time to explore, back to the boat where cocktails, barbecue and lots of drinks are served all day, then stop for a dive to the clearest waters you've seen. And when you think the day is over and heading back to Corfu professional dancers perform greek songs and along with a sister boat of the same company we are all dancing and sailing towards the pier. Best day ever!

Highly recommended. Fun day out.
Went on the day excursion to Parga today 13/09/2026. Has been a great experience from start to finish, the crew were welcoming and friendly and have made the day so much fun. Weather was amazing - I don’t think it fell below 29 degrees all day so everyone was in high spirits. Although it is a fairly long trip each way to get to Parga, once you get there it is definitely worth the journey. Little piece of Greek paradise- we’re fairly new to Greece having only been to Santorini before the current holiday in Corfu. This little town is absolutely beautiful, blue water, light sand, beautiful little paved alleys to get lost in. Definitely worth a walk up to the castle ruins if you get chance to as the views are spectacular. I would quite happily visit Parga as a standalone holiday. Lots of bars and restaurants to choose with a variety of food for all tastes. The journey home was made fun by all the crew who just seem to bounce off each other’s energy. The ladies who did the Greek dancing were fun to watch, and were very brave to do their dancing with the water being so choppy. Boat was nice and clean, the only things I could grumble about would be that there is only one male toilet as the urinal was out of order, so there was a queue. The other thing is the smoking at the back of the boat. I’m an ex smoker so probably whinge more about it, but having to pass a bunch of people smoking to get to the toilet wasn’t nice, it also seemed to go straight upstairs and around the back seats. Overall though a fun and relaxing day. Thank you all.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your day trip to Parga! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great experience from start to finish and that our crew helped make your day fun, welcoming and memorable. It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed discovering Parga, from its beautiful blue waters and charming streets to the spectacular views from the castle. We’re also happy that you enjoyed the Greek dancing and the atmosphere on the journey back to Corfu! Thank you as well for your honest feedback regarding the toilet facilities and the smoking area. We truly appreciate you bringing these points to our attention, as feedback like yours helps us identify areas where we can improve the experience for all our guests. We’re so glad you enjoyed your day with us and hope to welcome you on board again on your next visit to Corfu! With appreciation, The Ionian Cruises Team

Poor comms, broken bus, trip cancelled
Unfortunately having woken at 5:30 for a 6:35 pick up this was very disappointing. We waited for the bus to collect from our hotel and after waiting 30 minutes chased to find the bus was broken and no replacement could be found. No attempt to call those who had booked or the hotel. This was a special trip on our last day of our holiday with my Mum and totally let down by this company and its lack of communication. Very disappointing I wouldn’t book with them again based on this

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Parga & Sivota Islands Blue Lagoon Cruise from Corfu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Corfu.
How much does Parga & Sivota Islands Blue Lagoon Cruise from Corfu cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Parga & Sivota Islands Blue Lagoon Cruise from Corfu take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Parga & Sivota Islands Blue Lagoon Cruise from Corfu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 118 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Corfu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Parga & Sivota Islands Blue Lagoon Cruise from Corfu?
+
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 Parga & Sivota Islands Blue Lagoon Cruise from Corfu suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Parga & Sivota Islands Blue Lagoon Cruise from Corfu?
+
Around 41 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Parga & Sivota Islands Blue Lagoon Cruise from Corfu 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 Parga & Sivota Islands Blue Lagoon Cruise from Corfu?

What languages is Parga & Sivota Islands Blue Lagoon Cruise from Corfu offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Russian, English, Italian and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
