Top Crete Snorkeling - page 3

Excellent quad bike tour. Safety was the first priority, ensuring everybody was capable of riding and controlling their quad bike (I’ve done many of these types of tours and this was the first time I’ve seen such an excellent introduction/familiarisation with the equipment). After that Medhi our tour guide made it his next priority to look after us and ensure we all had a fun and excellent experience. His knowledge of Cretan life and culture made this the best tour we’ve been on. Will definitely revisit in the future.

What a great time on the sailing ship. The sea was choppy that day. Upon arrival, we swam and snorkeling the clear water. Never seen so many urchins. On the return, many of us sat on the deck with legs over the side. It was really fun and a memorable time.

We could not recommend this activity more, the tour was just fantastic and we had the best time. We both felt we learnt so much more about Crete than just the beaches and cocktails (though these are not to be knocked) if you want want more and and authentic experience with a bit a luxury this is it

Great way to see the gorgeous farmland of the plateau without driving yourself. Along the way you visit a farm with wonderful fresh cheese, Psychro cave, have a very authentic lunch and finish the day at an olive oil cooperative. The team is really fun and provides a lot of information. It's well worth a day of your time. I think it's important to note that the hike to the cave could be difficult for those with health conditions especially in the heat. Kids can ride a donkey, so it's fun for them.

It was a great day out despite the hot weather. We had two stops of 90 mins before the boat ride to Spinalonga. Elounda and Agios Nickolas were lovely places to stop and look around. I loved the boat ride over to Spinalonga. The island was so interesting. Fantastic value for money and would highly recommend the excursion if you are in Crete.

Very good boat trip lots of activities, amazing food, and a great team on board. They were very attentive and brilliant at topping up our drinks and serving all food and giving us our instructions. Only downside is that even though they ask you to get there 20 minutes early as everybody else did, we had one small group that arrived 20 minutes later then our scheduled sailing time, which meant we were denied the extra 20 minutes out in the sea that we could’ve had and that we had all paid for. I think you are very clear that you will not wait for late passengers and I think you should honour that and respect to those who were there on time.

This was single handedly the most fantastic tour I’ve ever been on. Our tour guide and driver Daryl was just incredible. He’s personable, funny, a great driver, and brought us to the best parts of Crete that I never would have been able to see or get to on my own. He taught me so much about Crete I never would have known either. He drove us to some of the highest mountaintops on the island, taking the most remote roads that I never would have been able to navigate or drive on myself. My group and I got to see some of the best hidden Greek mountain towns and see the most incredible landscapes I’ve ever seen in my life. I really wanted to get to know the local culture coming to Crete, and that’s exactly what Daryl brought us to. Our group was 4 couples as well and he happily helped take photos of all of us with our partners in front of the landscape views. The lunch at the local Taverna was delicious as well. This is the best experience you can get of Crete if you’re not sure where to go (like me) but you want to see those hidden gems and meet local people. Highly recommend!! Only note - the mountain roads get pretty bumpy but as someone who gets carsick very easily I felt fine the whole time.

It was just beautiful. From pickup to drop-off, everything just worked out. The shuttle was very punctual, even a little early at the hotel, so we could start on time at the harbor. Alexandra and Markos were warm and inviting. They explained everything well and took care of everything we needed. The sailing trip was beautiful despite the very calm sea, and Markos did his best so that we could at least sail a little with the power of the wind. When we arrived at the island, there were explanations and assistance for the activities. We were very impressed by Markos' patience and calmness when he helped a fellow traveler control her fear and go into the water. There was also a birthday song with dessert for a fellow traveler. A successful surprise from Alexandra and Markos. We didn't miss anything and could feel free. For Markos, it's not just his job, but a passion. We could all feel it, and it just brought us joy. It wasn't a tourist-style farewell, but an experience with heart and warmth. The food that Alexandra prepared was very tasty and filling. We sailed towards the sunset, and just before the harbor, we arrived back on time with the sun having set. Our driver was already waiting. That was nice, we had no waiting times. Thank you for this unforgettable trip and our passion behind that!!!
