About this tour
Explore Crete’s most famous beaches— Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island —on the island’s best and safest RIB boat. This fast cruise combines comfort, exclusivity, and adventure 🛥️.
From Kissamos Port, our friendly crew will greet you and provide a brief safety briefing before departing. As the engines start, feel the rush of speed as you zip across the Cretan Sea, passing by the dramatic cliffs of Gramvousa Cape with breathtaking views in every direction.
First stop: Gramvousa Island. Moored close to shore, you’ll swim or wade through the crystal-clear waters to get to land. Explore the Venetian fortress, enjoy the views from above, or snorkel near the island’s shipwreck 🌊.
Back on board, cool off with refreshments and snacks from our open ice cooler. Then heading to the pièce de résistance—Balos Lagoon—a paradise of turquoise waters and white sand beaches. Swim, relax, and enjoy one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the Mediterranean 🏖️.
With unlimited drinks, snacks, and a private experience for up to 11 people, you’ll beat the crowds and arrive at each destination before the ferries. Please note: refreshments are only served when the boat is not cruising at high speed for safety.
Can’t wait to have you on board for this amazing sea adventure 🌅.
