Beautiful day out - We were lucky with our day in terms of weather and calm sea. The boat trip is just lovely. The boat goes at a lovely pace so that you can take in the scenery and also near the coastline. The crew are very friendly and we had a drink, apple, watermelon and bruschetta. We stopped at three lovely places to swim and at Vathy which looks stunning on entering the town. All in all we had a thoroughly lovely day.

Amazing Ithaca trip - Amazing trip highly recommended the day was perfect. We were let down last minute with TUI cancelled so went to see Evan in Lourdas who made some phone calls and with superb help and communication from Kristina we managed to make the trip from Poros. We had the most magical day 1 day 24 people and a million memories. Thank you Kefalonia Excursions Evan and Kristina you were amazing and all the crew on the Valsamis cruise for being so friendly and professional. A day which will live long in the memory.

Without this trip, your holiday will be incomplete. - This cruise must be done. The Captain and crew are so friendly, the snacks are good. They take an excellent route very close to the island. It is truly beautiful, The stops are very interesting, including the opportunity to swim from the boat to an exclusive beach. Highly recommended.

A wonderful day cruising... - A wonderful day cruising from Kefalonia to Ithaca. We stopped to swim at some beautiful locations. The crew treated us to some lovely local food and snacks, and couldn't do enough to make the journey an amazing day. Who wouldn't want to spend the day cruising around these beautiful islands seeing the wildlife and views?!

Chilled day with friendly crew - A really chilled day with friendly crew. Time to relax and unwind and enjoy the views across the Ionian Sea. Plenty of space on the boat when we went in early July. The captain sailed close to some parts of the shore so we could admire caves and rock formations. And the crew gave us some commentary from time to time. Just about the right amount of time at each stop. 3 swim stops - 2 in swimming distance of beaches. Floats were available for people who needed them. Then stops to explore Vathy and the little island of Lazareto. Plenty of juice, water, watermelon and savoury snacks served between stops. We’ve previously done bbq cruises and thought just snacks would leave us unsatisfied - but they left us content and not too full and sleepy for afternoon swim spots (plus room for cheese pies when we stopped in Vathy!). The trip ran exactly to time too. With the captain comfortably navigating choppy conditions back across the bay to Sami.

Magical and unforgettable - Swimming in beautiful bays which can only be reached by boat, lovely helpful crew and a great visit to Ithaca town. Watermelon snacks freshly cut, lunch of fresh bread, feta and tomatoes - perfect for the day. Whilst there was no tannoy, the crew came round to talk with us and explained the various stops we had - much better. Beaches can only be reached by swimming - please note. An unforgettable day out. A massive thank you to the crew.

Good budget option - lacking in communication though - It was a good day, with some nice stops and snacks on board, however - the experience could've been better with some communication from the crew. It's quite a long day (slow boat hehe) without any introductions, stories about the region (something about a guy named Homer maybe?), etc. They didn't even communicate about why we had stopped (oh, we can jump off the ship and swim now?) and how much time we had until we had to go back. You had to ask. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a good budget option, but if you want to make it more memorable, you might want to consider a different company with some more interaction. Especially if you're a solo traveler.
