Great experience, proper sailing, welcoming and professional crew - A not to miss opportunity to spend time on a proper sailing boat, and be looked after with safety and enjoyment integral to the day. Costas and Alexandria were just the best crew. Food was superb, as was snorkeling and sunbathing. Brilliant day, don’t miss it.

Great day to finish off our vacation! - It was a great trip to finish our cruise vacation! Boat was very nice, the Captain & his assistant were truly great to deal with! Very relaxing day with a nice cove area to swim and snorkel in. They returned us on time which was critical to us because we had to make it back onto the cruise ship by 4:30. They offered us a free shuttle to/from the cruise ship (5min away, but still it was key in our getting back in time). Only suggestion I would have (if they wanted to attract more cruise passengers) is to shift the times 30 min earlier. We got back on time to the dock (4pm as scheduled) and we made it back to the cruise ship, but all aboard was 4:30 for the Viva. Tour got back at 4, the shuttle (appreciated) got us back to the terminal by 4:15 and we were able to catch the 2nd to last bus from the terminal to the ship. There wasn't a lot of wiggle room as the ship pulled away from the terminal at 4:40. I thought the NCL Viva left later (my mistake) and we had time to get back, but there really wasn't much room for error. That's probably why there weren't any other cruise passengers on the tour. It was a great tour, and I would recommend it, but I think they would draw more cruisers with a time shift, as I probably wouldn't have booked it if I didn't have the cruise ship departure time wrong. Also, I want to say the communication with the main office was excellent!

Best day of our holiday - Absolutely wonderful day, the sea was challenging but expertly navigated by our captain who calmly took it all in his stride. We learned all about the island of Dia and its history, swam, snorkled, drank and ate well. Well worth every penny, highly recommended!

This was an excellent... - This was an excellent sailing experience. The 45ft sailboat was outstanding, as were the crew and captain. The lunch was terrific and the day to Dia exceeded all our expectations. Highly recommend this excursion. Our only regret, is that we did not have time to do the sunset sail.

Great! - We searched for a birhtday gift to my father in-law, we came across this trip and we had a great time with good food and a service minded crew. They fixed everything for us, scubadiving, transfer from the hotel to the port, even a birthdaycake. We had a great time!
