What people are saying about Laganas

This trip was fantastic. Our guide (unfortunately didn’t catch her is name) was so helpful and friendly. My dad was on crutches and I had previously emailed the tour company to ensure the boat was accessible. Our guide was absolutely amazing, helped my dad on and off the boat at all times, I can’t thank him enough. Although there’s no guarantee you’ll see turtles, we saw 2 massive Loggerhead turtles. These amazing creatures were just swimming around underneath the boats and popped up for a breather - it was such a great sight to witness these magnificence creatures in their natural habitat. There were plenty of swim stops near the caves as well as an hour to roam on Turtle Island and also grab a snack from the floating Tuck Shop. Thanks again to the guide, he made it so enjoyable and really helped my dad enjoy the trip too!

The guide was very nice and showed us all the places that were in the description. We had enough time to look at everything in peace and to take pictures or have them taken. The view of the sunset was simply breathtaking. All in all it was a great trip with new impressions and information about the island.

Nikos was really friendly and knowledgeable about all the locations. He picked us up on time, he gave detailed information on all the stops and we had plenty of time to explore and take pictures. The sunset spot at the end of the tour was fantastic. I would happily book the tour again.

Very simple tour. Get to check out the cave and then you get taken to a beautiful lookout for the sunset. Nice establishment right there for wine beer or other alcohol and snacks as well. Spent it there with my wife and was very romantic and sweet. We enjoyed it very much

Beautiful tour. Nice tour guide Nicolas. Only did not receive a map and water, but otherwise fine!
