I'm Panagiotis and I have started fishing at the age of 5 years old. I remember myself going with my father, who was my first teacher for spearfishing. I have been at the sea from such a very young age and my ability to dive deep, gave me the advantage to learn quickly about the habits of fish. I became a freediver and a freediver-instructor. Now, I want to teach you how to free-dive and go spearfishing to catch that big fish you have always been dreaming of! Even if you are not experienced in spearfishing you can always observe me going for spearfishing. I'll catch your fish and then we'll grill it on board of our RIB boat and dine all together! Are you ready for this experience to live like a local Cretan?

Jennifer_E, Oct 2026

Lovely day sailing and snorkeling trip.

Absolutely fantastic sailing trip to Dia Island. The crossing was smooth and water crystal clear. We spent the morning snorkeling then had a lovely pasta lunch. The crew were friendly throughout. Would highly recommend this trip and we would definitely do it again if we return to Crete.

Awesome, thanks!

A simply exceptional experience, which will undoubtedly remain one of our best vacation memories in Crete! We spent a magical time aboard the sailboat, with magnificent landscapes, a great atmosphere, and a stop near a small heavenly beach where we were able to enjoy a superb swim. But what really made this excursion unforgettable were Petros and Redi! Two absolutely wonderful people, incredibly kind, always smiling, attentive, and taking great care of us from start to finish. They did everything to ensure we had a perfect time, and it really shows! We were also treated to a delicious meal prepared on board, a real pleasure in such a magnificent setting. Everything was there: the beauty of the place, the friendliness, the good mood, the professionalism, and above all this feeling of being welcomed like friends rather than just tourists. A huge thank you to Petros and Redi for this memorable day! If you are still hesitating to book this excursion, go for it with your eyes closed! It is an experience you absolutely must have in Crete. We recommend it 200%, and if we come back one day, we will do it again without the slightest hesitation! ⛵☀️🇬🇷

Amazing day on the water

It was amazing. The cruise out to the island was so pleasant. The catamaran went at a really nice pace to really enjoy the ride. Especially sitting on the netting watching the water. The swim was so nice and the water was crystal clear. , They supplied everything you could want for a day in the water. The dinner was delicious. I truly can’t imagine anyone rating this less than 5 stars. It was perfect and I consider it a bargain for the price. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful experience!...

Wonderful experience! Basil was so patient and helpful that it turned a stressful time into a memorable one. This was a great choice to make towards getting our scuba certification. We only wish we could stay longer and finish the process with him as our instructor! Thank you so much to Basil and all the staff at Chania Diving Center for taking such great care of our family.

Beautiful boat trip to hidden beaches and caves

We booked the three-hour "Hidden Caves and Beaches" trip on the yacht and would recommend the excursion anytime. Markos and Viktoria were very nice, gave us exciting tips and advice, and prepared delicious sandwiches with grapes. The caves and beaches were more or less "hidden," but there were nice opportunities to swim and snorkel in the turquoise-blue, clear water. We really enjoyed the time. Everything also worked out very well with the shuttle from the hotel to the harbor and back.

Great trip!! I was so...

Great trip!! I was so glad my husband and I booked the speedboat tour instead of one of the larger boat tours. We had more time and a guaranteed seat. Our captain was lovely and gave us drinks throughout the trip. If you are looking to travel to Balos, THIS is the way to do it!!

Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari

an1a_lue, Sep 2026

Great tour with a fun guarantee

Booking and contacting the organizer was super easy. About a week before, I was messaged via WhatsApp and asked if we wanted a pickup at the hotel. The quad tour began at 9:30 a.m. with an orientation and we were back at 1:30 p.m. Tip: if you have a neck gaiter at home, pack it. Otherwise you can buy one on-site for 2€. A bandana or neck gaiter is urgently necessary because it gets quite dusty and you otherwise get problems with breathing. In our group there were 3 quads and 3 buggies. So a manageable group. The guide was super nice and there were two short breaks and one 30-minute break. The guides had water and sandwiches with them for everyone. I recommend choosing clothes that can get dirty and sturdy footwear. You definitely get to see places in Crete here that are not accessible with a rental car.

Dia Island Sailing Cruise with Meal and Water Activities

Danielle_J, Aug 2026

This boat trip experience...

This boat trip experience was 10/10. The night before we received a message to say we were upgraded to a larger boat at no extra cost with the same itinerary included and this did not disappoint. We were able to lay at the front and there was room for all to enjoy without feeling at all crowded. The ride out was a little choppy but really fun and enjoyable. We the stopped at Dia for the perfect amount of time which I believe was around 2.5-3 hours. The drinks were great lots of choice with beer, wine and soft drinks, the crew later made us some really tasty cocktails that also kept flowing. The activities were fun and there was so much to do. There was not many other boats in the bay at the same time so it felt very picturesque and so much room to enjoy the activities. We were cooked our meals and there was other snacks to enjoy this was a great meal too absolutely zero complaints. The crew were fantastic and really helpful. I felt very relaxed and safe, with also enjoying some fun activities, great food and drinks taking in beautiful scenery. 100% recommend. Great value for money.

alyssia_t, Aug 2026

Splendid day!!

It was a beautiful experience. We left at 3:00 PM from the port of Heraklion (they are very punctual, I recommend arriving at the meeting point 15 minutes before departure). The crossing lasts 1 hour but it is very pleasant. Arriving at St. George's Bay on the island of Dia, we spent 4 hours here swimming and snorkeling in crystal clear waters. The dinner is abundant and very good: they served us pasta with shrimp, Cretan salad, and to finish, mixed fruit. On the boat, you have soft drinks and water at your disposal. A special thanks goes to Amelia and Captain Alexandros for their kindness, precision, and attention to safety. On the way back, we were able to see the sunset from the boat, and it was a view that I will not easily forget. Highly recommended!!

We really enjoyed the...

We really enjoyed the day, our tour guide was very knowledgable, frequently stopping to show us local plants, animals, birds. We saw vultures and a farmer feeding his sheep and goats near a rural village. Great explanation of the Island. The speedboat to Spinalonga was fabulous as it meant no queuing or waiting around in the heat amongst the crowds. Lovely lunch in a local spot with sea views, plenty of cold water provided throughout the day and and a/c in the car. A great day, thank you.

Heraklion: Dia Catamaran Cruise Mediterranean Meal & Water Fun

Sangita_S, Jul 2026

A must do trip highly recommended

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.

Perfect.

Awesome! It was worth every cent, and the price-performance ratio is surprisingly good. The route was really great; it included everything (wilderness, off-road, coast, small villages). Additionally, there was food (a delicious sandwich, something sweet, and water) and a photo album, which I received via email right after. The trip guides, as well as the lady who sold us the tour, are super nice!! There was also a small pottery workshop included (or alternatively a cave tour). Overall, a great experience ☺️
