About this tour
Ready to live your Mediterranean daydream? Hop aboard the most prestigious RIB boat in Crete and speed across the sparkling Cretan Sea to two of the island’s most jaw-dropping spots: Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island.
Your journey begins at Kissamos Port. After a quick safety intro and a warm welcome from our crew, it’s time to fire up the engines and feel the thrill of slicing through the waves at full speed. 🚤💨
⛰️ First stop: Gramvousa Island, a wild, rocky beauty with history, mystery, and views that’ll make your camera work overtime. The boat anchors as close as possible, but you may need to do a short swim or wade to reach shore (bonus adventure!).
🏝️ Then we head to the pièce de résistance, Balos Lagoon. If paradise had a zip code, this would be it. Think glowing turquoise waters, powdery white sand, and a vibe so serene even your sunscreen will chill out. Dive off the deck, wade ashore, or just float the stress away.
🍹 Throughout the cruise, help yourself to unlimited cold drinks from our open cooler (don’t spill during turbo-mode). You’ll have plenty of time (1.5–2 hours per stop) to explore, swim, and soak up the Cretan magic.
⚠️ Warning: May cause severe wanderlust and excessive smiling.
📸 So, are you in? Let’s make this a day to remember, fast boats, dreamy views, and serious island vibes await!
