Top Crete Outdoor Activities

Such fun a great group of people and a superb guide in Adrian. We’ve never ridden a quad before but it was extremely easy to pick up and the route through the mountains was beautiful. We would definitely do this again and encourage everyone to try it.

Extraordinary experience! More than gloomy weather, a flooded Lassithi Plateau (never seen before by the locals) and yet our group of 21 people had an excellent day! From the pickup at our hotel, rhythm, visits, experiences, landscapes and above all guides - Nicolas / Meddi / Aaron - who helped us discover their culture, traditions, and ways of life with joy and good humor! A must-do!!

Our tour guide, Mike, was incredibly knowledgeable and did an excellent job of sharing information at just the right time while preparing us for each destination along the way. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. Mike took the extra time and effort to arrange a lovely table for us at the restaurant and made sure all our needs were met. The restaurant itself was wonderful, offering a delicious meal, excellent service, and beautiful surroundings that made the experience even more enjoyable. We greatly appreciated Mike’s thoughtfulness and attention to detail throughout the tour. The timing at each location was well suited to our needs, and although the day was packed with activities and stops, we never felt pressured to make purchases. Zeus’s Cave was one of our favourite destinations, although visitors should be aware that it involves considerable climbing, numerous steps, and uneven, rocky terrain.

just now New Although the sun was not to be seen on this day, the boat trip on the Eos was an unforgettable experience. The crew was super friendly and anticipated our every wish! The food was also excellent! All in all, a great day! I can highly recommend it ❤️

We had a very good experience on board the sailboat. Thank you so much to Petros & Thanos who made this experience very pleasant! The water was very clear, we were able to see fish, sea urchins, and even a starfish. The meal on board was typical of Greece. We were in a small group so it was very relaxing and very cool! Eucharisto Petros & Thanos!

The whole experience from start to finish was absolutely top class. The team were welcoming, organised, and made everything feel safe without taking away any of the fun. The bikes were powerful, well‑maintained, and easy to get the hang of, and the route itself was brilliant — a perfect mix of open stretches, muddy tracks, and technical bits that kept it exciting all the way through. I left grinning from ear to ear. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a proper adrenaline hit and a professionally run adventure.

The pickup went smoothly. At the beginning, you can specify your own hotel or place of stay. Depending on the information provided, you are then assigned a pickup location that is easy to reach. Afterward, we were picked up on time and driven first to a family-run apiary, then to Elafonissi, and finally to the mountain village of Elos. During the trip, our tour guide Carolina constantly shared interesting facts and anecdotes about the history, traditions, and ways of life on Crete - in both English and German. Because of this, the somewhat long drive flew by. On the return trip from Elos to our drop-off location, there was deliberately no more input from the guide to allow us some rest and the opportunity for a nap after this long day. About Elafonissi Beach: Overall, very clear and very beautiful, shallow water. A natural lagoon forms where you can splash around perfectly. You can also see the red sand in places (but of course not as pronounced as in the deserted photos on the internet). Umbrellas and lounge chairs can be rented on-site for €20, but they sell out quickly. However, the bus also has umbrellas that you can borrow for free. Unfortunately, the umbrellas are partially damaged from frequent use and are not very sturdy otherwise, so it is unfortunately not easily possible to use the umbrella in stronger winds. About Elos: Cute mountain village with excellent food. Overall, a one-hour break was taken. This was just enough time to eat, so you can either explore the village or eat at the restaurant - not both. We would have liked to spend more time there, but our guide told us that there are often complaints that even this one hour is too long (you can find such a review here and there in the reviews as well). Overall: Anytime again

Beautiful place!! Water was not so cold in April!! Long trip but you can enjoy and stay 4 hours on the beach, you can bring some food or get something in a store where the bus stopped ! They have good bakery! Then you walk for 15 minutes to get to the beach !!
