About this tour
🌊 Ready to make the Aegean your own private paradise for the day? Departing from the picturesque Chania Old Port, you will experience the raw, wild beauty of northwest Crete at its finest.
First stop? Balos Lagoon – that iconic swirl of turquoise and white sand where you’ll dip your toes in paradise (without 500 other tourists doing the same). Next, sail to Gramvousa Island, where history meets mystery: climb to a Venetian fortress with jaw-dropping views or float near a haunting shipwreck.
Next, cruise along the Rodopou Peninsula to discover hidden gems like Menies Beach and Chironisia Cove—secluded, soul-soothing spots where you can snorkel, swim, or just stretch out like a starfish with a cold drink.
Cap it all off at Theodorou Island, home to rare kri-kri goats and a sunken WWII plane—because why not end the day with a little wildlife and war history?
Onboard? Expect traditional Cretan snacks or freshly made sandwiches, soft drinks, water, beer, and good vibes. 🍻
🎁 Want more? Add a BBQ, fishing gear, a GoPro, or even a drone photographer. Custom vibes? Just say the word.
From secret coves to legendary lagoons, this is your sea story in the making.
So what are you waiting for? Book now and turn the Mediterranean into your personal playground. 🚤🦀

The perfect excursion.
We did a full-day trip with a group of 6 people to Balos…everything was fantastic..the knowledge of the staff and their experience, the tour and the complete information about the surrounding areas and the beautiful beaches you see along the way..All of them were very kind and willing to answer any of our questions and provide more information for our easier stay on the island. We all felt safe on the boat and the staff checked every last detail. We will definitely prefer the same team again in the future if we are on the island again…Thank you for everything..you gave us an unforgettable and unique experience.

The love for the sea is not exactly explained in words. Those who feel it deeply, I think, avoid talking about it too much.
