Naxos: Private Traditional Boat Trip to Rina Cave from Panermos

This was a lovely experience. My family had a chance to get into the water and experience Rina Cave without being on a crowded boat. Make sure you give yourself enough time to get to the takeoff point so that you can enjoy the ride down the island and see all of the little villages and scenery along the way. Bonus points to stop and jump in the ocean a few times along the journey.

This was a great experience! 2 hours was the perfect amount of time and it was fun to be able to see Rina Cave and cliff jump.

I went with a group of friends (12 of us) and we all had a wonderful time. Starting from the west coast, we stopped to visit several central mountain villages before making our way south east to to Panermos. The drive over from Apeirenthos to Panermos was very memorable and reminiscent of some Mediterranean version of Canada's East Coast drives. Captain Yannis and his team are a joy to chat with and were very positive throughout. We really enjoyed his history lessons of the island and sipping wine in the pristine waters. Several swim assists were provided for some less confident swimmers in our group. Rina's cave itself was nice to see but we really enjoyed snorkeling in the area and appreciated the beach stops to discover cool rocks. We paid 330 euros which we found very worth it for the experience. Although we had an unconventional group size and needed to get to Panermos a little later in the afternoon, we were accommodate for. The tour itself lasted around 2 and 12 hour for us.

This 2-hour boat trip was the highlight of our visit to Naxos. As a family of five with children ages 10, 12, and 14, we were looking for something that would let us experience the water, see the cave, and enjoy the coastline without taking up an entire day or breaking the budget. This trip was exactly what we hoped for. We had the boat to ourselves, which made the experience even more special. Along the way to Rhina Cave, our guide shared interesting facts about the area’s history and pointed out notable landmarks. Once we arrived, we all jumped in and swam into the cave. Goggles, pool noodles, and life jackets were available for anyone who wanted them. Our guide explained the history and features of the cave, took photos for us, and even gave us the opportunity to jump from the cliffs into the crystal-clear water outside. Later, we stopped near a secluded beach where we could swim, explore the shore, or simply relax on the boat. We were then treated to a delicious Greek salad, fresh melon, and local wine while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. On the ride back, our children were even allowed to take turns steering the boat, which was a memorable experience for them. By the end of the trip, we were completely satisfied and grateful we had chosen this excursion. Everyone was kind, welcoming, and professional, and the value for what we paid was outstanding. Our family would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Naxos.

100% successful from start to finish. Explanations, sites all was perfect and friendly. Thanks for this great moment in Naxos
