Absolutely wonderful trip - Maria was a fabulous hostess, she was so informative and welcoming. The whole team were great.
We boarded at Corfu town port, picked up more passengers on the way then arrived in beautiful Paxos for a walk around the town and lunch (take euros as cards were not accepted). After lunch we sailed to Antipaxos for swimming from the boat - the sea was spectacular the water so clear and so many fish to see.
After our swim we reboarded for a trip around the other side of Paxos to view the caves, followed by a barbecue and disco on the way home and were treated to a Greek dance show.
I highly recommend this trip.

Favourite day of our holiday!!! Amazing views, great hospitality very friendly staff. On the return we had a famous corfu DJ, traditional Greek dancers, bbq for very small additional fee. All hosted by 2 Amazing women, one who was the Greek version of Jane Mc Donald! If you don't like the noise on the way back lots of quiet seating downstairs. Won't let me add more photos annoyingly but the views were amazing 😍

We booked this trip through Jet2 Holidays in order to visit the UNESCO site of Butrint. We had been a bit worried about passport procedures and the organisation of it all but there was nothing to worry about at all. Despite being on our own with other nationalities, our hotel pick up was on time, all the passport processes explained very clearly and throughout the day each step of the day was clearly explained. At the Albanian side there was a coach for English speaking tourists and our lady guide spoke very good English and guided us expertly through the vast site of Butrint. The scenery and the whole UNESCO site were spectacular and the well worth visiting. A fab day out with no delays in passport control at all.

We enjoyed the cruise but wish it was organised better. We booked it based on itinerary they provided on their website. This was wrong and the cruise didn’t follow it. We were supposed to go to the caves first when the sea was still calm in the morning and we didn’t. As a result we went around 4 pm when the sea was rough and it was not enjoyable at all. We could not enter the caves either which was a huge disappointment.
There were way too many people on board. No distancing at all. When the sea started to get rocky they asked everyone to get inside and there was not enough space - people were sitting on the floor, most of us feeling very unwell. I appreciate they can’t predict the sea behaviour but do not pile so many people on a small boat!
Seats were uncomfortable, toilets were disgusting and never cleaned for the duration of the trip. Run out of toilet paper. Floors on the boat dirty - again never cleaned during the trip.
Overall not pleasant experience although the views and places they took us are breathtaking! Definitely worth a trip but probably with another cruise company.

We had a fantastic day with Ionian cruises! The town they took us to was beautiful and the swimming and snorkelling spot was the most beautiful beach I think I’ve ever seen! The captain then drove us into the entrance to the blue caves which was very impressive. We then began the trip back to the port of Corfu where we were to be dropped off. The journey back was quite long but just as it started to drag the dj started playing some awesome tunes and the crew got everyone dancing! It was fantastic. Everyone was getting involved, even the boat sailing next to us. It was so good we didn’t want to get off! A fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone!

We had such a perfect day on the boat Christina. The crew was incredibly friendly, the tour guide made it very interesting and the captain had incredible skills getting us right inside the Caves. All in all a perfect day, and I highly recommend the trip to Gaios/Paxi.

Such a wonderful experience.
The crew is kind and helpful. They helped us to find our seats. The captain navigates the boat close to coast and we took many nice photos.
We took so many informations from the tour guide. We enjoyed nice cocktails from the bar and swimmed in such clear and blue-green water in antipaxos.
On the boat there's also a dj who makes a relaxing atmosphere on the beginning and on the way back along with the Greek traditional dancers they make a fantastic show!!
Worth it 100%

I took the tour today, very happy with everything! The cruise took about 45 mins then we were led to a nice cafe with commanding view over the lake. The ancient city Butrint is very interesting, the guild very knowledgeable. Lunch was included (2 courses, fish excellent). Back to the coastal city Sarande, some nice cafe to have desert and coffee (not included), free time on the beach or town. All in all I am very pleased. Highly recommend this tour!

Ionian Cruises and especially the journey to Paxos, Antipaxos and the blue caves is very recommedable!
The boat is, let's say medium size, so you will be a bigger group of at least 50 people, but they are well spread and organised on the board. There are different floors, outside and inside, also suppoted with air-conditioning. The WC is clean and there is also a bar with snacks and drinks. Despite that the journey starts early in the morning and ends in the late afternoon, it's very interesting, so you will always be occupied with something new. The board crew was very friendly and tried to provide everything we needed. On the way back, there was an amazing party with a DJ, absolute highlight, we didn't realise how quick we were back home.
Absolutely go for it, I would put it among the Top 5 things to do on Corfu.

Really enjoyable and informative day out. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The organization was commendable, making the excursion stress free and seamless. The lunch was delicious and the restaurant was relaxed. I’d highly recommend the butrint day trip to anyone interested in seeing ancient ruins and learning about the very beginnings of Albanian people, their culture and how they lived.

Hi - we are a group of 7. Two girls are 17 years of age. I am the mother of one of the girls, the other parents are not in Greece. If I get written consent from the other parents and copies of passports, can we all go on a one day cruise to Albania?
