Highly recommend this...

Katy_L, Aug 2025

Highly recommend this trip! Andreas was wonderful and drove us right to the gate for Balos, stocked us with snacks and chairs, and then took us to lunch after the beach. Balos is beautiful and definitely recommend it. The hike back up is no joke though. We are fit and enjoy hiking and it was strenuous.

Wonderful Adventure to Balos

Abby_c, Sep 2024

Andreas was a great driver! He was very knowledgeable about the island and Greece. It was the perfect way to spend a day. Balos Beach was beautiful. The drive up to Balos is VERY bumpy and the hike back from the beach is strenuous, but in an awesome adventure way. Andreas provided us with snacks and chairs for the beach and took us to the perfect photo spot before we hiked down to the beach. The restaurant we went to after the beach was delicious as well. Don't hesitate booking this tour, it was a highlight of our trip.

Hello Abby thanks for your kind words lam glad you enjoyed the tour. I appreaciate your review. Greetings to Bryan!

Best way to see Balos Lagoon!

Amy_G, Sep 2024

Amazing day! Andreas is so well organized, punctual, and informative. The whole day is well planned from hotel pickup, to a coffee stop, chairs and snacks for the lagoon, and lunch afterwards. Make sure to wear athletic shoes for the hike down and out. The view from the top is not to be missed and one you wouldn’t get from arriving by boat. We saw a number of tourists trying to do this by rental car and were so happy to have Andreas driving and dropping us off right at the entrancement . Definitely recommend for your time in Crete!

Best trip ever

William_B, Sep 2024

Undeniably one of the best trips I have been on. Our guide was welcoming, funny and knowledgeable. The tour really did exceed expectations despite the heavy rain witnessed whilst at Balos lagoon. After an already brilliant day, myself, my partner and two friends were treated to the best food we’d had all holiday. The restaurant was beautiful!!!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hi William thanks for your kind words l really appreaciate your review. Iam glad you guys had good time and nice memories. Hello to everyone, all the bests! Andreas

Great day trip to Balos. Highly recommend!!

Francine_I, Sep 2024

We really enjoyed our trip to Balos! The excursion was a good amount of time to be able to see and enjoy the beach, and we got there early enough to beat a lot of the crowds. On our way back, we stopped at a restaurant with a beautiful view of Falassarna and enjoyed delicious food. Our guide gave us great tips and recommendations for the area we were staying and made the trip very enjoyable overall.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Spectacular private Balos swimming experience

Donna_K, Aug 2024

Highly recommended. This private tour to Balos via 4 wheel drive exceeded our expectations. This is a bucket list location and swimming experience. Andreas provided excellent service, shared local knowledge and gave us privacy to thoroughly enjoy this tour. After a 3 hr swimming stop at Balos we enjoyed an excellent meal at a local tavern with panoramic views over Fallassarna beach. An unforgettable experience.

Hello Donna thanks for your kind words, l really appreaciate it! Was a pleasure for me as well to be your guide and lam glad you enjoyed the tour! Greetings to George!

Great tour with Andreas!

Cathryn_B, Aug 2024

My roommate and I had a wonderful trip to Balos Beach with Andreas as our guide. He picked us up promptly on time, provided us with ample water and snacks, bought us Freddo espresso, drove us safely over to Balos beach, and supplied us with camping chairs and an umbrella. After our 3 hours at the beach Andreas brought us to a gorgeous restaurant on the way back to Chania, where we were treated to delicious authentic Greek cuisine (complete with drinks and dessert). Andreas was polite and considerate, and as two traveling young women we felt very safe with him as our guide. The jeep was clean and comfortable and had no mechanical or cosmetic issues. The hike down and back up to the beach from the parking lot isn’t paved and there aren’t consistent handrails all the way down, so I wouldn’t recommend a trip to Balos to anyone with mobility impairments. All in all, we had a great trip!
