“The other parts of the tour was amazing. However, the failure of the agents in Santorini to get us to the volcano dinner cruise was a very big disappointment.”

Reviews of 3 day Sailing Tours
- 3D2N Sailing Komodo Flores, Indonesia
I booked this tour in advance of my trip to Indonesia and, quite frankly, got scammed. Most people on the tour booked while they were in Indonesia and paid a third of what I paid. Also, when I arrived on the boat they had over sold the space in the “shared room” so I was given a chair cushion on the floor to sleep on- unacceptable (tour radar was very responsive in getting me a partial refund). Do not book this tour until the company has upgraded their boat. With all that being said, the Komodo Islands are beautiful and well worth a visit and the itinerary of this tour was great. Also, the food was amazing. Everything but the accommodation, but those are a deal breaker.
What our customers ask about 3 Day Sailing Tours & Trips
When is the best time to go on a 3-day sailing tour?
The perfect time really depends on where you're headed. If you're sailing Halong Bay, plan your trip between October and April when temperatures stay around 70-75°F (21-24°C). For Mediterranean trips, book between May and October - that's when the water warms up to a pleasant 75-80°F (24-27°C). Want to explore the Amalfi Coast? Go from June through September when the weather's perfect for swimming near Capri and Positano, with lots of sunny days.
What's the best time of year for a 3-day sailing tour in Vietnam?
You'll want to visit Vietnam in spring (March to May) or fall (September to November). The weather's just right then, with temperatures between 68-82°F (20-28°C), and you'll get clear skies and calm waters. These months are perfect for kayaking around Tra Bau and checking out Viet Hai village. Winter months (December to February) are cooler but great for photos. Just try to avoid summer (June-August) - it gets pretty hot and humid, and storms can pop up in Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay.
What kind of weather can I expect during a 3-day sailing tour in Halong Bay?
The weather in Halong Bay changes quite a bit throughout the year. In winter (December-February), temperatures range from 59-77°F (15-25°C). Summer months (June-August) heat up to 75-95°F (24-35°C). Spring (March-May) is really the sweet spot, with nice temperatures and clear skies - perfect for exploring spots like the Dark and Bright Cave. Try to skip the monsoon season (July to September) since sudden storms can mess up sailing plans and make it hard to see the beautiful views around Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay.
What are the most popular places for 3-day sailing tours?
Three spots stand out as favorites. First, there's Italy's Amalfi Coast, where you can sail around Capri, Positano, and Sorrento. Vietnam's Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay are incredible too, with their towering limestone cliffs. Then there's Indonesia's Komodo National Park, where you can explore islands like Padar, Rinca, and Pink Beach. One TourRadar traveler described Halong Bay as "a masterpiece of nature" while another said the Amalfi Coast offered "beautiful landscapes and pleasant sailing."
