Highlights
  • Vathis - First stop is Vathi, a beautiful village on the island Kalymnos.
    The boat enters a magnificent natural fjord and as the valley of Vathi is slowly revealed, you have the chance to take pictures of the surrounding gulfs and caves. You will have 1 hour to explore, you can walk the peaceful streets of Vathi, try local sweets and the famous homemade orange juices, and watch the history of the island unfold before your eyes at the local sponge warehouses
  • St. Nikolaos and Georgiou Church - On our way to Plati islet, the boat pays a visit to the nearby fish farms. The smell of the fish attracts wild dolphins and most of the time you can see them jumping out of the water.
    Then the boat heads to Plati. It anchors close to the land and once the engines stop, you can jump in and swim around the boat. The sea is unbelievably clear, meaning you can easily notice the sandy bottom through the blue and turquoise waters.
    Meanwhile, on the boat, happy hour will start and the barman will serve refreshing cocktails at low prices.
  • Pserimos - The last stop is Pserimos island, which is inhabited by only 15 families during the winter and gets busier in the summer.
    You will have 1 hour here to explore. Swim on the shallow, sandy beach, discover hidden paths or just relax at a local cafeteria or taverna.

Fantastic Interisland boat trip! - This full-day inter-island boat trip, which allowed me to experience one of the most unforgettable moments I spent on the island of Kos, far exceeded my expectations. This beautiful day full of unique experiences was definitely one of the highlights of our vacation. First of all, I was impressed by the comfort and cleanliness of the boat. The friendliness and hospitality of the staff added to the positive energy of the trip. While our guide provided detailed information about the islands to be visited, he made the tour more meaningful by emphasizing the historical and cultural significance of this information. Each island had unique beauty. The places we visited during the tour included quiet beaches, historical ruins and traditional villages. In addition, the delicious treats and refreshing drinks offered throughout the tour made this day by the sea even more special. In short, this trip became one of my fondest memories on Kos. I recommend everyone to experience this fantastic boat trip between the islands. A great option for great views, friendly crew and unforgettable memories!

Small boat - A very pleasant day out. Crew were very welcoming. Not a party boat, but that's why we booked it. Took us to two islands including lunch. We also got to see dolphins swimming near the boat. Stopped off in a sheltered bay and could dive off the boat for a swim. Recommended

Book a boat in the harbor (Seaworld) - great day! - We made a reservation directly in the harbor near the boat (Seaworld), for 25 euros per person, including lunch! Before the departure you could make your choice known for lunch. Lunch was served in a restaurant in Kalymnos. Very good! You only had to pay for your drink. The toilets in that restaurant were also very clean. We could have booked the same trip/boat via TUI, but it would have cost us 55 euros per person. There was a large group of TUI guests on board. The staff is super nice. My husband was even allowed to use the captain's toilet, because he has difficulty walking. You could also swim along the way. Drinks widely available at the bar. I would highly recommend this boat!

Great day - This was a lovely day out with my family. I love Kos and thought this was a great way to see the surrounding islands and spend the day on a boat. The crew made sure we took the most scenic route and it was clear a lot of effort had been put into the day. Stop 1. Plati I went in October so it was windy at the start of the day, however, the crew made sure to find a sheltered spot for the swim stop off the side of Plati - this was beautiful. You could jump in from the boat or climb down a ladder. After the swim stop, we had lunch on the boat. Lunch was basic but good. You got souvlaki (unless vegetarian), a salad, tzatziki and some bread. The staff served this quickly. Stop 2. Kalymnos On route to the second stop we went past the fish farms where the crew made a huge effort searching for dolphins. We were lucky enough to see some! They were very respectful of the dolphins and kept our distance while still making this a special experience for everyone on board. The dolphins were beautiful and made this day even more special! We then arrived at the second stop Vathi - this was a gorgeous fishing town with a blue lagoon. The docking area for the boat was very tight to turn around in and I was impressed with the crew. In Vathi, there is a small swim stop if you want, and an area to jump off the rocks. We wanted to explore the Island so did not swim here though. I was very grateful to stop here and be able to experience this part of Kalymnos that most of the 3 island tours do not go to. This stop went by very quickly and as we were exploring the small fishing village we did not have time to stop for a drink, however, this was our choice. Stop 3. Pserimos Finally, we stopped at Pserimos beach for a sunbath and another swim. Pserimos has lovely soft sandy beaches and was the perfect beach stop. There are around 10 boats that run a 3 island tour during the summer months, however, this is one of the only boats that completed the trip in this order meaning that Pserimos was much quieter than when I have done the 3 island tours on other boats. The staff were incredibly helpful and provided some information around the island without going on too much. I will note that they only provided the information in English and while this was not an issue for my family, if you are not an English speaker this may be frustrating. Overall, this was a great day and if you are considering what boat/company to chose for the 3 island tour I would recommend this one. :)

Sale away your day - Very good trip and for a full day was amazing value. All booked through trip-adviser and was easy to board ship and enjoy our cruise. Lunch was a nice touch and even got to see some dolphins in the wild. Nice selection of places to visit, each different from each other and felt a bit like exploring the islands beyond KOS. crew were great and very helpful and price of drinks on board very reasonable. Only tip I'd give would be turn up very early if you want to sit outside in the sun.....for us it was not really an issue, but for others it was all they wanted. I think some people turned up at least an hour before leaving. We turned up half and hour before and had to sit inside. Still a great time and I'm not a sun worshiper tbh. Highly recommended for a full 7 plus hour trip on a great boat with a great and friendly crew.

Princess Diana 3 Island Boat tour, KOS - Princess Diana 3 Island Boat trip, KOS We travelled on the last trip of the season. Good weather and fairly calm sea. Lots of people got on the boat early to reserve seats on the benches and put their towels on the sunbathing mats leaving little room for anyone arriving after them (we were not late, 9.30 and the boat leaves at 10am) Selfish and shouldn’t be allowed. We went to Pserimos first, a small harbour set up for the tourist boats, cafes on the beach selling refreshments and a couple of little tourist shops and little else. Visit is for 1 hour. Then on to Kalymnos ( 1 hour) for lunch in the Poppy taverna in the harbour. Lunch was very disappointing. As soon as you sit down they give you a plate with a pork kebab , cabbage salad , tzatziki and bread. There is no choice. We asked for the vegetarian option which was just a bigger plate of cabbage salad. There was no veggie kebab. We ordered drinks and before we had finished our lunch the waitress came round collecting payment for the drinks. She was very abrupt and a little rude imo. All the shops are set up for the daily boats from Kos on the 3 island tours. Next stop was the island Plati , deserted except for a few wild goats. The sea here is exquisite, azure blue and so clear you can see the bottom and all the fish. You have a hour to swim. On the way back to Kos Town we did see a pod of dolphins. This was a highlight of the trip. The captain stops the boat so you can watch them for 5-10 minutes. It was wonderful to see them in their natural environment. The people on the boat are friendly and for 20 euros it was a good day out , just shame about the lunch.
