You will have about 1 hour and 30 minutes at leisure to enjoy the unique charms of Hydra island, whose amphitheater shape once served as a safe shelter for Saronic Pirates. From the decks, you will be able to admire the very special architecture and dramatic landscapes of this island, whose old traditional stone houses and mansions silently stand witness to a long and turbulent history.

Happy Island Hopping - A leisurely trip to three distinct islands that’s well worth it. The crew managed to keep on schedule and lunch was plentiful and tasty. The Greek dancing show was lively and enjoyable. A special shoutout to Georgiana who led both our island excursions. She gave a very informative description of life on Hydra and Aegina. Overall a good experience.

A lovely trip!! - We were picked up bright and early from our hotel and didn't really know what to expect. It was well organized and the staff were friendly, communicated well, super helpful, and knowledgable. Georgiana was our tour guide on Hydra and she was great! She had a great sense of humor, just the right amount of information, and very easy to understand. Her English is flawless. She also speaks Spanish - I don't speak it, but based on her professionalism, I bet it is perfect as well. Spiros is a server on the ship who was attentive, helpful, and professional, and it seems like he truly cares about helping everyone on the ship have a great time! It was a long day - picked up at 7am and dropped back off at the hotel at 7:45 so plan accordingly. The Hydra tour and Aegina swimming excursion were totally worth it!

Good trip but - I am fine with this trip, the cruise staff did great job! But I am not happy with Viator service, when I booked the picked up location and indicated pick up time is 7:30 am, someone email me said that location no longer exist and inform me another location. But actually the pick up time is 7:05, for sure I missed my bus and have to taxi there. When I come back, I noticed that the bus do stop at my former location for pick up!

Not worth the money and the tiredness - Too many people and this big boat did not allow us to enjoy the sea in the islands. I believe, that is the purpose of visiting the islands. A memorable moment is only Hydra island, although me and my husband had to run to reach a beach bar and be able to enjoy the sea. - 12 hrs the trip seated only in a chair. - No water or soft - drinks included in the price. - No guide at all, everything was extra charge. - 45 min in Poros was not enough te visit especially 3 PM - No music on board, only after 6 PM. - Aegina Island you had to pay extra to visit a beach. We did not want to pay extra so visited a beach near by that did not meet our expectations.

I wouldn't bother - Not worth the money for this tour whatsoever! Huge ship - around 300 passengers or maybe more. Free seating all over the place, so reach early if you want a decent spot. Trip itself is very rushed - u barely get 1 hour in the first two islands which just isn't enough to explore as it's stressful knowing you need to come at a certain time to the ship. I think just take a public ferry for a margin of the price . As yours are at an additional cost anyway! And the tour is just not worth the price in my opinion

Cancellation without reason - After buying the tour I was cancelled arguing that I would not go out that week, instead if I could buy it by another operator, but a little more expensive.
