Top Crete Snorkeling - page 3

From a timely free pick-up to a boat ride and snorkeling, our experience was great. Captain Panagiotis and his crew were all very friendly and took a great care of us. We felt very safe the entire time and thanks to their snorkeling tutorial we all became instant snorkeling fans. It was a perfect half-day excursion that made our stay in Crete even more special.

There were so many fun activities included for all ages, from stand-up paddleboards and snorkeling to the inflatable slide. The food was also absolutely delicious, and everything was very well organised. A huge thank you to Daniel and Joanna, who went above and beyond with their communication, organisation, and genuine willingness to help. I was especially grateful after I dropped my phone into 12 metres of water. They immediately jumped into action, helped recover it, and somehow managed to get it back for me, something I’ll never forget! The only thing to keep in mind is that if you’re prone to seasickness, the ride can get a little bumpy depending on the wind conditions. Overall, an amazing experience with a fantastic crew. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a fantastic experience for my wife and I. We were picked up a few minutes walk from our hotel in Chania and rode in a comfortable, air conditioned van. Our first stop was to an olive oil mill. We had a wonderful time meeting with the owner and learning about the process of making olive oil. We learned of Crete's rich history of olive oil and then were able to tour the facility which was impressive. Afterwards we had a guided olive oil tasting and were able to learn more of the subtleties that go into appraising an olive oil. Next we visited the oldest olive oil tree which was nice to take pictures and see. Then we visited two different wineries and had a guided tasting of 5 wines at each place. All of the wines were fantastic, and it was great to learn about the different grapes grown on the island. Our guide Andy was also a sommelier and significantly increased our experience by giving some insight into how wine is professionally appraised. Would 100% recommend.

This is an all day trip and in the back there are only two bench seats that face each other with little leg room. We loved learning about agriculture on the way, our guide, Janis, was fun, and stopped at great places for photos. We were very disappointed that Zeus' Cave was not open which is the main reason we booked it for our daughter. Overall a great day though.

This is a very enjoyable way to spend a morning in Chania. You don’t need a car to get there as there is a pickup service. You don’t need to be a good swimmer to do this. Wet suits are provided which are very buoyant and keep you afloat. The snorkels and fins were excellent - no leaking. The staff were really friendly, professional and helpful. There weren’t huge amounts or variety of fish to see but it is still a very enjoyable tour. I would do it again.

If you have small children, skip this one… I have teenage boys, and it was perfect for them! My oldest was able to fish, they both got to use the paddle boat, diving and flipping off the side of the catamaran was a plus! Sailing on the boat was enough to put them into a short nap. My husband and I were able to sunbathe and take in the views! The lunch and dessert was amazing and our captain was great at answering all of our questions and giving us even a little history lesson about Dia Island! All in all I would book this again. It was very easy-going and no hassle or trouble at all.

Was a full day with 3 main stops. There is plenty time at each place to enjoy the areas and have quick drink if you want. The towns are very pretty and Spinalonga very interesting. It is €20 extra to get into Spinolonga but you can just sit and enjoy view of port or paddle if you don't want to walk round. If you want to jump of boat into water for swim on way back ensure you already have swim wear on. Transfers were great and local. All staff were friendly and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our day. Totally recommended

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!!!
