    We chose the three-hour boat trip. The service, the pristine deserted beaches where we dived, the good snacks made our day. We really enjoyed our seas with dives, with the masks provided by Salty trips and of course with the passion of Captain Marinos. It is definitely recommended as an excursion for anyone passing through the southern coast of the prefecture of Heraklion.

    Attention to detail, what we agreed on was done!
    We started 1.5 hours away wondering if the boat ride (private cruise) would be worth the trip. The result exceeded our expectations! First stop in Spilia, then Agios Nikitas. Swimming in turquoise waters on lonely, almost private, huge beaches. Highly recommended!

    We booked the 3 hour tour and can highly recommend it. The boat is in excellent condition, the staff is incredibly kind and helpful, the places you reach are simply wonderful and the drinks are heavenly cold😂, you can always get explanations if you speak English. The departure and destination port is Tsoutsouros, the bay of Agios Nikitas, Aspes beach and finally the Skiadaki cave are visited. You can swim everywhere and you can also snorkel in the cave. Driving in the sea with 300 horsepower is also great fun!

    If it had more stars I would definitely give it. One of the most helpful guys with a great attitude and enthusiasm for their work. The boat was incredible and the trip was enjoyable. You will definitely be one of our first choices on our next vacation, so we can see the other beaches we didn’t get to

    Very nice experience. We chose the option to be allowed to park in 3 different spots over a 3 hour period in the morning. We enjoyed the experience so much that we repeated it by asking our driver to take us the same evening for another sunset trip!!
    The two pilots of Team are adorable and very attentive. I highly recommend!!!!

    It was a magical experience! Marinos and Giorgos were kind, hospitable and full of energy.
    They gave us a tour of the most beautiful beaches, stopping to swim in the crystal clear waters.
    I can say that the best part was exploring the caves where with the mask you can’t stop staring at the bottom 😌
    It was an organized excursion with experienced staff and safe equipment!!

    Wonderful 3-hour sea trip. The captain is very friendly and takes you to discover the wild coast, away from the crowds, where the sea offers incredible colors. If you can, take a snorkel mask if you want to take advantage of the proposed swimming stops.
    If you want to have a great time, do not hesitate to contact SeaExcursions (via WhatsApp if you do not speak Greek 😉)

    The thing to do for a stay in Tsoutsouros. Wonderful, a 3 hour excursion with 3 wonderful spots to swim and admire the seabed while taking the time to make the most of it. The team is extremely pleasant, available and lets us live this unique moment in total freedom. The last spot is wonderful, a break in caves with lunch on the boat. The best. Thanks to the team for this great moment. 👍

    3 hour morning outing with 3 stops for swimming, snorkeling, caves… Simply heavenly! Few fish but some nice lionfish.
    Discovering places that are difficult to access, while you are alone in the world. The boat is beautiful, luxurious, very comfortable. Marino, the captain is very friendly and also an excellent pilot. A small snack of cut fruit and a triangle sandwich was much appreciated after exploring the cave. We highly recommend this activity.

    We booked a great private boat trip for four people. Everyone was absolutely thrilled 😀 The captain was very nice and explained everything worth seeing well 👍 We went to several secluded beaches and a beautiful cave for snorkeling. 3 hours was enough and we had a lot of fun 😎 Many thanks to the team at SeaExcursions

    Super Super Super…. the 4 of us were skeptical at first but then we got excited… it was worth it… the 3 hours were characterized by a restrained, friendly and attentive captain, a lively, intact new speed boat… and most importantly of course the beautiful snorkeling stops
    Really highly recommended
