Amazing Views with a Great Captain - Sebastian was a great guide and captain! His English is proficient and he was funny. Also, I told him I got sea sick, and he navigated so well that I had minimal sea sickness despite the waters being choppy. We saw the most stunning views as well. I would do this tour again!

Excellent Trip - Excellent half day trip. Took us around the islands and slowed down and stopped for everyone to get great pictures and then dropped us off on the beach with the ship wreck for everyone to swim and relax. Incredible day. Highly recommended.

Packed daytour delivers! - Boattrip was really nice with an opportunity to swim in crystal clear water. Bring goggles! Tour takes you to all the good spots. Second swim opportunity at beautiful and rough sea. Good lunch and coffee spots along the way. Guide is super friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of time for fotos, wich is great if that's your thing 😅

Mixed! - Pros: places visited by beautiful boat, possible swimming in beautiful places, possibility to stay in the shade during the boat trip although there are people.
Cons: the 2h of unannounced car rides, the driver’s not careful driving and a lot of people at the places visited (such as the beach where you can’t even sit while you’re there for 1 hour).

A bit disappointing - I have always booked trips with trip advisor and this is the first time I have been disappointed. I would advise that the photos and itinerary for this trip be updated as they are a bit misleading. That said its a good trip just not what I was expecting.
My first point would be small boat 25 to 50 people. There were over 60 people crammed on our boat making photo opportunities nearly impossible. Next you don't get to go on Navagio beach for 1 hour in fact if you don't swim you don't get off the boat at all during the trip. Also factor in your transport times as ended up being a full day trip for us 9am pickup to approx 4pm.
Can't add any photos as they all have other peoples heads, arms etc in them.

Bait and switch! - Bait and switch. We booked a boat for 17 people max and they put us on an overcrowded boat of 50+ and charged us compared to everyone else. They said the charge was for hotel pickup. Total BS. Avoid at.all cost.

Do NOT I repeat NOT book with ABBA! - Do not book with ABBA tours! We got a bait and switch experience! We didnt get what we paid for and we got exactly what we were trying to avoid a crowded, low budget miserable experience.
First, the red flags went up when our transportation didn't show up. I had to whatsapp ABBA and ask where our diver was, 1/2 hour late. Apparently they just told him we were at Kalamaki Beach and not the Kalamaki Beach Hotel.
Next, we drove 7 km to Zante, the driver kept taking phone calls and was in an argument with the head office. Next thing we know, we are picking up another couple in a four person car. We are now at 5 people in a 4 person car and I was the poor soul stuck in the middle of one tall person and another man. I couldnt even sit back. I was stuck leaning forward and became car sick driving on the windy roads. We arrived at a transfer office a distance away from Zante and instead of asking us for our name to check us in and knowing where we were to go, they asked us where we were going. How do you send transportation to pick up a guest and not know where they need to go next?
We ended up on a huge bus of people. The whole thing felt very wrong since we were supposed to be on a small group tour. Instead of fixing it they tried to rationalize why we paid 1/3 more than everyone else on the trip and their reasons were beyond insulting to justify this experience. Like a 25 Euro fee each way for the two of us to drive 7km. And we didnt even have a private car as described above. I didn't even have a legal seat in the car. No apologies offered.
This was supposed to be a small group trip on a small boat. Instead they combined 3 tours, 50+ people on THE biggest boat offering tours in the area. We were supposed to be able to boat inside the caves but the best this boat could do was to back into the end of caves. We watched as 10+ truly small boats entered the caves and were raving about their experiences.
This may be the absolute worst passenger boat setup for this type of activity. Unless you are one of the 5 people that gets to sit on the bare bow of the boat, you will not be able to see in front of the boat. No views. There are only limited side views. The boat was so overcrowded 4 of us had to sit inside the cabin. No air, no view. Absolute worst experience I have ever had on a boat tour in my life and I've easily been on over 50.
But the worst part is, they suckered us and another couple exactly the same way. We called them out on it and they thought were stupid enough to believe this was the higher end tour we paid for. Despicable management that will take your money and run and not care at all about your experience or enjoyment.
Stay FAR away from ABBA tours! And for the pending follow-up to this review by ABBA don't believe a word of it. No right being in the hospitality industry.
