Explore the beautiful islands of Antiparos, Despotico and Paros on a snorkelling boat tour in the Cyclades. Welcoming participants of all ages on this family-friendly adventure!

This boat tour begins in Paros, a charming Greek island, forming part of the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea. The island is renowned for its stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters. On this trip, you’ll discover some hidden gems around Paros and the nearby islands of Antiparos and Despotico!

The adventure begins at the starting point in Paros, where you’ll board the traditional kaiki wooden boat, which holds up to 30 passengers. The experienced skipper will give a quick safety briefing, before you set sail from Paros along the Aegean Sea! Throughout the full-day cruise, unlimited refreshments are available on the shaded deck. The trip begins with a stop at the Blue Lagoon, located in the middle of the three-island complex Padieronissia.

The skipper will provide you with full snorkelling gear, including a mask, a snorkel and fins, so you can experience the unique underwater world of the Blue Lagoon.
