"We are excited about being the first and only company to provide a small group experience in this adventure of a lifetime."

Adventure activities include a trek up Mt. Skopos, snorkeling and a 2-day catamaran sailing tour of the Ionian Sea where passengers have the option of actively learning and participating in the sailing of the vessel or relaxing and enjoying the sea tour.
