Top Crete Outdoor Activities - page 5

First and foremost the entire experience was simply amazing from start to finish. Let me start by saying our tour guide Nikos was absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable in all aspects not only on this rich history of the island of Crete and the Cretan people but in Greek history in general. Secondly I never felt like I was being treated like just a tourist the entire time I felt like I was being treated like family as a guest in someones home. Nikos made my partner and I feel like we've known him for years and he did a great job making the experience feel personal. The beach it self was beautiful and it's something you can't explain you just have to go and see it for yourself. Calm relaxing and so full of life with unmatched beauty at every turn of your head. Last but not least the luncheon was by far my favorite part of this trip. You're not just going to any old tavern to have lunch this place is special. The location the sights and the food was incredible. It was truly a surprise filled rich history, flavors, and a sense of deep rooted community. If I could rate this higher than a 5 out of 5 I would.

Was just like the rest of the reviews say, an absolute blast from start to finish! It is a very comprehensive itinerary and they pack a lot in for the day! The tour guides are very friendly and knowledgeable, which makes it a no brainer. Don't look any further, just book it! A special thanks to our lovely toure guide, Louise, she was epic!

It was interesting to see and experience Elafonisi, though it doesn't look as in some of the pictures that can be found online. For example, the pink color of the sand is not that saturated, and it's not pink everywhere. The water is crystal clear and nice to swim in. We brought our own parasol with us but struggled to keep it upright because of the strong wind. Don't underestimate the walk back from the beach to the parking lot - it is uphill and can be tiresome, especially under the scorching sun. The tour guide provided interesting information about Crete. On our way back, we had lunch at a tavern in Elos where the food came very quickly. The only thing we didn't like was the 30-minute stop at a café and honey shop on our way to Elafonisi because it felt too long. 10-15 minutes should have been enough.

Excellent excursion! For cruise passengers, it is an excellent choice! Beach Bums will pick you up and drop you off at the port. Well worth the money! 3 hours of driving on different terrains with beautiful sights! I do not recommend this for novice drivers. It's a long excursion with 2 short breaks. Adrian was the best guide and very patient. Highly recommend!

Matched the itinerary. It's a long drive but the guide provides plenty of history of the island along the way. The guide spoke 4 different languages to accommodate all guests. There was plenty of time for the beach portion and the guide gave excellent advice about where to set yourself up. Overall, long but good day.

From pick up at the hotel to drop off everything was very well organised. The horses are incredible and extremely well looked after. I always worry when booking a trip like this it will be like the old school pony trekking with board horses but not the case here! The owners take great care in choosing the right horse for you, I have a hip issue at the moment but they worked around that to ensure I was safe and that I was enjoying the experience with out making me feel isolated from the rest of the group. Once back we had an incredible lunch served with home made wine, the food just kept coming and was so so good! The owners are welcoming and funny and make the experience a joy. Would we go again absolutely! As an experience rider I would love to go out for longer and get to see so much more of this beautiful countryside. Thank you for the experience We will always remember to have 'one more meat ball' ! 🤣

I loved that this tour picked me up and dropped me off at my hotel. Ingrid was an incredibly informative guide who was funny and supportive. I have no clue how Nikos, the bus driver, navigated the narrow streets, but he got us there and back in safely and comfort. The hike is fairly straightforward and down the whole way, so not challenging on the heart. It’s very rocky the whole way though, so footing can be tricky, but totally doable by almost everyone. Hiking poles were helpful, but not necessary. If you’re an experienced hiker, you can take your time down to actually enjoy nature and the environment. I feel like many people came and hiked down just as quick as possible without actually taking in the surrounding. I like the itinerary gave you enough time in the mountains and sea without consuming your entire day.

Beautiful experience right the mountains! It is a tiny family business and it feels good! Thie horses are sweet and friendly. The ballade was from the mountain down to the beach. The view was astonishing! And you discover less touristic areas which was charming. Only my mum, myself and Niko the horse owner. Niko was simply perfect! Very professional and friendly. He loves his horses. They are well cared of. We recommend this experience 100%!
