Great Day!
Really enjoyed this trip, was fun, not rushed. Pick up was right outside my hotel, booked for 8.25am so had time for breakfast. It was little late (10 minutes) not an issue, just a heads up. The sea swims were refreshing but not in a cold way. The temperature was perfect. Nice amount of time to spend in Paxos, to leisurely eat. The restaurant wasn't expensive. Also some tourist shops although I didn't go to those. There was no beach or anywhere to swim. The caves were incredible to look at. Geology is not my subject but these caves made me wish I knew more. My only issues were it was hard to hear the guide (maybe the volume needs turning up), and I'd like to have heard more about the mythology. Returned back to my hotel. Ideal amount of time for the day trip. Very enjoyable day.

Wasted day on overcrowded boat.
My experience was terrible. Location should have been clear from start instead of getting 6 different emails on the experience, there were conflicting gps coordinates. There is no dedicated parking so you need to find it outside the port authority gates ie give extra 20 min for parking and walking to boat jetty. On board was ok. There was a good bar with great staff. Prices overpriced as would now expect. Overall pricing was too much. I get it was 10.5 hours trip but I should have driven to south to skip the 4 hours of just travel if I new it was going to stink of diesel inside the cabin area. Once arrived at Paxos' was really nice little village and 2 hours too little to enjoy the gems but will go back someday. Second stop was swimming in the gorgeous aqua waters but sadly you are 1 of about 10 boats with ca 250 passengers each squeezing for same 2km of water. So sad and disappointed they could have zigzagged the schedules of arriving and departure of the tour boats. This was terrible experience. I was yelled at to move after arriving 5 min to the waters to swim to allow another bug boat crowd the space and filled with diesel smoke in crowded waters.hated it! Will pay more for private charter.
Response from the operator: We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify a few important points for future guests. This is a shared day cruise at an affordable price, not a private or luxury charter. During the high season, Paxos and Antipaxos are extremely popular destinations, and the swimming areas can naturally become busy with boats from different operators. Unfortunately, we cannot control the schedules or movements of other companies. The cruise includes approximately 10.5 hours in total, transportation by boat to and from Paxos, time in Gaios, and a swimming stop at Antipaxos. Guests who are looking for complete privacy, flexible timing, quieter swimming locations and a more exclusive experience would indeed be better suited to a private charter, which is a completely different type of service and comes at a significantly higher price. Regarding the meeting point, we always provide our guests with the necessary information before departure. We are sorry if the different messages caused confusion, and we will review this to make the instructions clearer. We are pleased that you enjoyed Gaios and appreciated the crew and bar staff. We are sorry that the crowded conditions at the swimming stop affected your overall impression, but these conditions are unfortunately part of travelling to such a popular destination during the peak summer season.

Day trip 30/8
Fantastic day out.Such good value for money. The staff on the boat were wonderful. Very hardworking and polite.Would highly recommend this trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic day with us and that you felt the trip offered great value for money. Our crew works very hard, especially during the busy summer season, so your kind words about their professionalism, politeness and dedication mean a lot to the whole team. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back on board again in the future

6 hour round trip on a...
6 hour round trip on a boat for a 1 hour lunch stop and 30mins swim at antipaxos. The day advertised swim stops (plural) so we were dissapointed when we got one swim at a location with 4 boats parked along side each other (probably around 800 people crammed into a small area) We also had a 4 hour transfer round trip which you may want to consider if coming from palaiokastritas as we were the last stop! Not worth the time or money. The commute isn’t advertised when booking otherwise we wouldn’t have bothered.
Response from the operator: Paxos and Antipaxos are extremely popular during the summer, so seeing several boats and many visitors at the swimming stop is unfortunately unavoidable. We cannot control the schedules of other operators. Regarding the transfer from Paleokastritsa, the distance is indeed considerable, and this should be taken into account when choosing this excursion. The transportation information and pickup times are provided before the trip. We understand that this type of excursion was not what you were looking for. For guests wanting more privacy, flexibility and quieter swimming spots, a private charter would be a much better choice. We are sorry the experience did not meet your expectations, but we hope this clarification helps future guests choose the experience that best suits them.

Paxos Antipaxos Blue Caves Cruise from Corfu with Swimming Stops: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Corfu.
How much does Paxos Antipaxos Blue Caves Cruise from Corfu with Swimming Stops cost?
+
Prices start at $56 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 Paxos Antipaxos Blue Caves Cruise from Corfu with Swimming Stops take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Paxos Antipaxos Blue Caves Cruise from Corfu with Swimming Stops worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 120 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 Paxos Antipaxos Blue Caves Cruise from Corfu with Swimming Stops?
+
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 Paxos Antipaxos Blue Caves Cruise from Corfu with Swimming Stops suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Paxos Antipaxos Blue Caves Cruise from Corfu with Swimming Stops?
+
Around 42 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paxos Antipaxos Blue Caves Cruise from Corfu with Swimming Stops 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?

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.
