Reviews
Excellent
This was the best trip we went on whilst in crete, our guide and captain, Manolis and his first mate Matteo were brilliant. It was Matteo’s first day and he did a fantastic job, that man will be a great captain one day! The trip over was smooth and we could relax and enjoy the views of Heraklion and Dia Island. Once we arrived we had a small safety briefing and off we went, the only small snag was there was not enough snorkles and masks to go around but people shared and when I got to snorkel, it was brilliant. I saw sea urchins, star fish, fish of various varieties and plenty of interesting rocks and under sea life. Other people were paddleboarding and swimming, it was wonderful.
The lunch provided was really tasty and more than enough to go round, pesto pasta with green salad, fresh bread and fruit served with soft drinks and wine.
The trip home was just as easy and once we’re were in open waters, Manolis came around and told us the story of the island with a few surprising facts for us (which I wont spoil for you). We arrived back to port on time after a really enjoyable time, I would 100% go again and recommend it to anyone!
Thanks goes to Manolis and Matteo for making the trip interesting and enjoyable
Fantastic Experience – Safe, Beautiful, and Relaxing
We had a truly wonderful time on this trip, which lasted about 6 1/2 hours in total.
Although it was a bit windy and the sea had some high waves, we always felt completely safe – the boat was stable, and the crew were both professional and friendly. The atmosphere on board was calm and relaxing, making it easy to just sit back and enjoy the ride.
We had around 4 hours at Dia Island, to snorkel in the crystal-clear water, visit the island, eat, relax, and soak up the sun. The small church on the island is definitely worth a visit; it’s a peaceful and atmospheric spot that adds a special touch to the experience.
The food served on board was a pleasant surprise – we had a delicious pasta dish with seafood that tasted homemade and was just what we needed after a swim and some sun.
All in all, this was a well-organized and thoroughly enjoyable tour that we highly recommend – whether you’re looking to explore nature or simply enjoy a day on the water.
We had such a great time!! The boat is clean, well secured, the food is good!! We we had time for paddle, snorkeling, and went to a second bay after dinner, a lot of fun!! Yannis and Banos were the best!!!
Fabulous day sailing and snorkelling with a super lunch. Couldnt have enjoyed it more!
My favorite excursion during my trip to Crete. I really recommend. There’s good for, beautiful blue sea, lovely fish if you like snorkelling and the boats crew was fantastic (Rafaela and Nicos). Thanks again ☀️
Amazing experience with sailing Creta. Manos and Katarina were a really nice crew , the food was delicious. Smooth sailing, they had snorkels, SUP, wine! What else do you need? Wind! We had it too! The transfer was also included and organized by them!
Everything was perfect ! Including the sailing, the food, the snorkeling… Dimitri and Costa were very professional and friendly!
Superbe expérience avec un équipage incroyable !
Je recommande fortement !
Le couché du soleil ainsi que le spot de snorkling et le repas sont tout simplement un bonheur !
Croisière en Crète :
tout était parfait, croisière incroyable, petit groupe, une heure de bateau jusqu’à l’île de dia, une fois amarré à l’île possibilité de faire du snorkeling, du paddle, même un peu de pêche, plus apéro et repas servi à bord du bateau, retour au coucher du soleil plongeant dans la mer, paradisiaque tout simplement je recommande a 300% !!!
