Private boat tour Paros: what to expect
Our private skipper-led trip leaves from Pounta port in Paros and explores Antiparos caves, the Blue Lagoon and Despotiko, with stops to swim along the way. It is for up to nine guests. Here is what that route means for your day, and what to confirm before booking.
- Pounta, Paros
- Up to 9 guests
- Local skipper

Where does the tour depart?
The departure point is Pounta port on Paros, not Paroikia’s main port. Your tour starts and finishes at Pounta. When you enquire, confirm the meeting point and departure time for your date so you can arrange your journey to the harbour.
What is on the route?
The featured route combines Antiparos caves and the Blue Lagoon with Despotiko and swim stops. These are the places covered by the tour, rather than a fixed timetable for your booking.
- Antiparos caves
- The route takes you to the caves around Antiparos. Ask the team what visiting the caves will involve on your date; do not assume every cave can be entered.
- Blue Lagoon
- The Blue Lagoon is part of the Antiparos route. Confirm the planned swim stops with the team when arranging your trip.
- Despotiko
- Despotiko is another destination on the featured itinerary, with time on the water and opportunities to swim. Ask before booking if you want a specific shore visit.
- Swim stops
- Swimming is part of the trip, not just sightseeing from the boat. Tell us about your group’s swimming preferences when you enquire.
Who is the tour for, and do you need a licence?
This tour is for a private group of up to nine guests, with a local skipper at the helm. You are booking a guided boat trip rather than driving a rental boat yourself. Send your total group size when you enquire.
If you would rather drive, see our self-drive boat rental page for the separate no-licence and licensed-driver options.
What should you confirm before booking?
The tour is presented as a full-day trip, but this guide does not set a departure time, return time or price. Before confirming, ask for the details that apply to your date:
- The quote for your group and what it includes.
- Departure and return times, and the exact meeting point at Pounta.
- The planned stops and any specific cave or shore visits you want.
- Any food, drinks or equipment you would like to arrange.
For cancellations and unsafe-weather options, read our cancellation and refund policy.
