Be wary. If winds are high you are likely not to get to Hydra. We weren't told we weren't going to Hydra until after departure. Our time in very touristy Egina (in very hot conditions) was extended from 2 hours to 3.5 hours, with no offer of a partial refund. The ship was larger than expected, with hundreds of people on board. A very expensive mistake for us!

Hydra was cancelled because of the weather ? (Warm, no rain, little breeze). My waiter forgot to bring the drinks. Tickets for island tours are paying but nowhere advertised as such. Lines for the tickets are chaotic. My ticket lady acted as a school nanny, and was extremely stubborn and slow. Visit the lemon forest as promoted is impossible in the timespan foreseen. Three stars for the dj and the tour guide in Aegina. The rest of the staff seems in vacation themselves. I Would recommend to visit Aegina, and forget the rest.

Very good combination DE the islands! Great tour to see several places EN short time. The islands are beautiful, especially Hydra. Definitely you have to choose the VIP option, very good space, quiet and comfortable for so many hours on the boat! Kostas and Madonna were really excellent, super friendly!

First island is 4 hours away you spend more time in the boat doing nothing and 1 hour in hydra not enough time, 30 mins in Poros, no comments why would you stop for 30 mins, and 1:30 un the last island, not worth the money, and do not take the tour they offer get a taxi $10 to beach marathon
Don’t go on a windy day

We feel like there could have been better communication throughout the whole process. First, we did not arrange a pick up spot and the address given did not take us to the correct location. Second, there was a lot of wind the day we scheduled which prevented the ship from traveling to the last two islands. This was never communicated as a possibility and we only found out about 20 minutes away from the first island. Lastly, though we got extra time on Aegina, the entire trip was cut short by about 4 hours and there was no effort to amend the situation. But, Aegina was great to visit and Katerina gave a great panoramic tour! A must stop just to try the pistachio treats.
