The trip was Awesome, We traveled on the Pirate ship and toured one side of the island, saw the blue caves and the cove was beautiful. Everyone was given the opportunity to swim at the cove and by the blue caves. The crew on the Pirage ship were freindly and courteous and provided entertainment on board on the way back to Zakinthos. Good value for money and a really enjoyable day.

We signed up to do this tour and they changed the pickup location three times the night before our tour which was fine, but also slightly annoying to have them calling several times while out to dinner. The next day we showed up to where they said they would pick us up and we were there 15 minutes early. We waited for an hour and 15 minutes and they never showed up. While we were waiting I emailed the tour operator, messaged them through Viator, called the number that called me the night before, and called the number listed on the site and received no response for 30 minutes. When I finally did receive a response they said just wait we will be there soon. I waited for another 20 minutes before asking when and they responded with soon. They never showed up and we left because we didn't want to waste our trip. I asked for a refund and later that day they said they couldn't refund me and tried to blame the whole pickup thing on me by saying that they came to the hotel but we weren't there and I reminded them that they told us to go to the grocery store. They also said they sent a taxi for us but we waited there for over an hour and there was not a taxi in sight. They said they could take us on the half day cruise on a speedboat instead of a refund. We reluctantly agreed. The pickup on the second time was much smoother. The half day cruise does the same stops just for a shorter period which honestly was better in my opinion. The seas were very rough the day we went and they didn't have enough seating for everyone so some people had to sit on folding chairs and plastic deck chairs. An elderly gentleman was sitting in one and it fell and he looked like he got hurt. I would not recommend this excursion to anyone but if you do decide to book it, book the half day, not the full day. Smugglers cove was extremely busy and not that cool in my opinion and the swim stop was nice, but not necessary. Depending on your group size, I would recommend renting a private boat because it is very reasonable and you can visit the same sites for however long you wish.
