00:09Finding the pickup point was a challenge for us nervous hire car drivers and we missed the bus,
00:15we were expecting a minibus but it is a big coach.
00:19Thankfully the company added us to the next day's trip for no extra charge.
00:24The first boat ride gives great views of the island before a second boat takes you over to Greece.
00:31A quick drift into a large cave then two stops for swimming and a final stop at a little town
00:37with a nice number of shops to browse and scrumptious ice cream waffles to devour.
00:42The first stop was idyllic and most of the tourists jumped into the crystal clear water.
00:48They lower ladders so it is very easy.
00:50The second stop most people had dried off and did not venture into the water but the boat was surrounded
00:57by fish so we just had to get in and snorkel with them.
01:01Snorkels are not provided for the second stop, best to bring your own.
01:06We were called out of the water for lunch which was massive, salad, chicken, sausage stew, cabbage and bread with
01:13a cup of wine.
01:14I cannot recommend this trip highly enough.
01:17You will not be disappointed.
01:19We did not stop smiling.
01:23The trip was excellent, very well organized.
01:26We had the opportunity to see extraordinary landscapes, entrance to caves, the sea of an unreal blue.
01:34We had two stops of one hour each, where we swam and snorkeled and another stop in Shivota, on the
01:41mainland, for walks, meals, souvenirs.
01:44The crew was prepared with swimming accessories, children's vests, adult wands, snorkeling tubes, very kind and attentive to all passengers.
01:55We left Benitza's, a bus was waiting for us at the appointed time and then they took us to the
02:01port where we took the motorboat.
02:03A wonderful experience, which I recommend with all the confidence to families with children but not only.
02:09Thank you, Issa, represented by Masongi Travel Center, Benitza's office, for your recommendation and for all the information provided, which
02:20was very helpful.
02:22First time doing this trip and it does not feel to impress, I have never seen such beautiful crystal clear
02:29water.
02:29The boat is spacious and fully equipped with plenty of seating spaces, they stop twice for a nice swim first
02:37stop being at the beautiful Blue Lagoon and the second stop in Shivota.
02:41After this you will stop for two hours at Shivota Island and it is beautiful, I must recommend Charlie's Restaurant.
02:48It has a toad variety of food at a reasonable price and overlooks the Bay of Shivota.
02:55The highlight of our holiday, Theo the captain was so funny and brilliant, booked through Tui, was told the price
03:02we paid was Alan Kluiv's but it's not on the boat but once we got to the private island they
03:07cooked us a lovely barbecue on the beach, deck chairs you pay for, barbecue included in the price, then on
03:14to the Blue Lagoon, Sioux Beautiful, a chance to jump in then back to Corfu town and coach back to
03:20hotel.
03:21Well, times were roughly 8.45 to 6, well worth it.
03:26We had a great day on the boat, sitting at the front with a clear view of the sea.
03:31We were able to swim in perfect waters for snorkeling, although due to Covid restrictions, they didn't provide the equipment.
03:39Swimming and walking along the Shivota coast was incredible.
03:43The boat was a bit smaller than other cruises, which allowed us to go inside and explore caves up close
03:50and get quite close to the Blue Lagoon.
03:53It was really cool.
03:55They sailed to various beautiful places in Greece.
03:59You get the opportunity to swim everywhere.
04:02Lunch is also included, which is delicious.
04:06Definitely recommended.
04:08P.S., for people who booked their trip with Corindon.
04:12This is the same excursion they do.
04:15We were on this boat with them.
04:18Via TripAdvisor 36pp, Corindon 47pp.
04:23Exactly the same.
04:25And transport included.
04:26But don't really point that the way they do.
04:27Final idea some of that.
