About this tour
Explore the northwest coast on a three-hour boat trip in Paleokastritsa, Corfu. Travel by speedboat to Limni Beach for a swim, then continue aboard a traditional wooden boat to see the sea caves and coast before stopping to swim by Kasteli Beach. The trip includes two swimming stops and time to enjoy the water at a relaxed pace.
Limni Beach and the Blue Caves
A speedboat takes guests to Limni Beach, where there is around 1.5 hours to swim and explore. Groups go to the beach one after another; a traditional wooden boat then picks you up to continue the journey along the coast. You’ll pass underwater rocks and changing colours and visit the area’s sea caves, including Nausika Cave, Blue Eye Cave and St. Nicolas Cave. Swimming inside the caves is not allowed.
Swimming by Kasteli
The boat stops at Kasteli for another chance to swim, from the boat, by diving in or using the ladder. Keep away from the shore at Kasteli, where small rocks may fall. Sunbeds at Limni Beach are not part of the tour and may incur a charge. Water is offered on the boat. Life vests are available for emergencies, but are not intended for swimming; if you are not a confident swimmer, stay on the boat or bring your own flotation equipment.

A lovely small sized, relaxed boat trip! Time to enjoy the beautiful double beach and then swim in crystal clear waters. Saw the blue eye cave and other areas only accessible by boat. Perfect if you want to head North a little to see the magical coves and coastline. Guide was super friendly and knowledgeable but didn’t talk the whole time - which is always ideal! Definitely recommend!

It was very good. We enjoyed the activity a lot. The only challenge was the limited English the wooden boat driver could speak. He told us things but he wasn’t able to answer questions from passengers well.

A beautiful tour to fantastic caves and amazing swim stops. Possibly more time on the boat and one more swimming stop to jump from the boat into the sea, and less time at the first beach (1.5 hours).

This experience was definitely memorable. One thing that made it extremely unforgettable was Dimitris. He was a great guide: made funny jokes, told us exactly when and of what to take photos, told us interesting stories and was really nice to the wholes group. The caves were beautiful and the beach even more . Everything was super impressive. I recommended you buy this experience because you will have a great time. We love Dimitris!!!!

Great boat tour with Dimitris. You can park for free right next to the pick-up point. You are dropped off for 1.5 hours on the small pebble beach of Limni (bring water shoes and a snorkel mask!), and then you travel along the coast, which is splendid, with a stop to swim at Kasteli. Great experience :)
