Fun and exciting!!
So much fun!!! It was my first time ever on a quad and what an exciting experience. Team was great with explaining the quad and how to control it. You see the countryside and the mountainsides. Amazing vistas that you see while you’re driving. Oh and don’t wear your Sunday best because you will get dirty!

Top experience for us!
This was a top experience of all time for us. Stelios made it great - showed us how to paddle (our first time), took great care and concern for our safety and took pictures of everything. It was a gorgeous day and the water was perfect. It was a nice mix of activities - seeing the cave, doing the mud and cliff jumping (I bravely did!). We hope to bring our kids back to this beautiful island, its people and even do this experience. So worth it!

Fantastic day from mountain to sea.
Great guide, great nature, a bit crowded due to rain closures for several days before. Sylvia with Kyriakakis was a great guide, who did a great job of explaining the long journey from mountain to sea. I wish I would have know they rent hiking poles - what a knee saver! Recommendations: rent hiking poles, eat breakfast at the taverna on the way (but move fast), bring swim suit for the hours between finish of hike and ferry, and bring some Euros of beers at Agios Roumeli. Also, schedule a massage for the day after your hike. Have fun!

Spectacular. For the fit, best way to see a lot of Crete in one day.
It is a long day. I was picked up a little after 6:00 a.m. and returned to my hotel at close to 10 p.m. or 22:00. The hike itself is demanding. I am an avid hiker and even I was feeling tired and sore at the end. But it's MORE than worth it! If you're lucky, you'll see a bright red sunrise over the Gulf of Heraklion from the bus window. Later, the ascent up to the White Mountains from Chania is epic. The hike is ~13 miles, which takes most about 6 hours, and has several unique and memorable sights. Finally, almost as brilliant as the hike itself, the open-air boat taxi along the southern coast in the Libyan Sea is stunning and also provides new perspective of the island's dramatic geology, including other gorges. The drive back to Heraklion takes a different route so that you see even more new sights of rural Crete. The operators are well-organized and provide detailed instructions in multiple languages while on the bus to ensure everyone knows the logistics.
