Overview

Immerse yourself in Crete’s crystal-clear seas with ease and without the expense of a private charter on this sail-and-snorkel trip from Hersonissos. Board a traditional wooden boat and cruise the waters of St. George’s Bay and Stalis. Visit two snorkel hotspots that would be hard to access independently, snorkel and swim at each, and enjoy a BBQ lunch and fruit platter on deck. Snorkeling gear is provided for your use, so there’s no need to bring your own equipment.

Fish, fish and chicken

emily_P, Aug 2024

Experience is great, we had 2 stops, first one just to swim and second one with different places you could swim to and different activities. Me as a not strong swimmer was given a floatie so could fully participate. We chose to do snorkeling at second stop, it is just the goggles they give but we were able to see so many fish it was amazing. We had the chicken for the food which was a cooked bit of chicken, salad and a couple slices of bread, nothing fancy but did the job and we threw some bread for the fishes as was no butter so a bit dry for us!

We love it!!! ...

Many thanks Frida for your review which is representative of our boat trip and most importantly we are happy you had an enjoyable time

nice and enjoyful, but way too expensive

Kobi_B, Jul 2022

Although the trip itself was very nice and enjoyful, it was way too expensive for what we got. The sailing and jumping from the boat into the clear blue water at 2 spots was very nice, but lunch was very poor, and eventually we felt like we paid way too much for this kind of tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Kobi thank you for your review and overall I am happy you had a nice time. With regards to lunch we certainly offer daily fresh supplies and our meal is a full package including meal-salad-fruits. I am sorry but our price is the market average, probably below that, as we have not increased prices since last Year (you can imagine since last year costs where significantly lower for businesses, fuel being the main disaster for EU and worldwide)

Somewhat disappointed

Sam_I, Jul 2022

A fun day out and taken to two nice swimming spots. However boat was very crowded and the snorkles were just masks, no snorkle pipe.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Sam, Thank you for your review. It's high season therefore sometimes it may be crowded. We always take up to max. 70% of boat's capacity to ensure that all customers are comfortable. We usually don't have snorkle pipes as some customers take the snorkelling equipment when leaving the boat, which causes us as you imagine logistical problems. I am happy you had a nice time overall.

Nice boat and excellent staff

Peter_V, Jul 2022

Nice trip but the boat was very crowded. Staff was excellent You could swim twice but you could not see fish There were only diving glasses available

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Peter, Many thanks for your review. First of all thank you for your comment on the Staff. We give a lot of attention on the Crew and how they perform and we have no negative feedback in this respect. It's high season therefore sometimes it may be crowded.

Dit is geen zeilen wat...

Maarten_S, Jul 2023

Dit is geen zeilen wat een oplichting veel te vol met mensen eten was vreselijk en echt niet waar voor je geld

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Dear customer, I am sorry to have read your review but can not understand in one line the reason for this. For Med. people and culture it is NOT about the money; You must have been confused with other cultures. We can not harness the weather conditions and since the port authorities allow all boats to sail we can not cancel the boat trip. The Captain always has as a top priority the safety of all passengers therefore announcements were made through boat's speakers for windy weather conditions. It is left to your absolute free choice to join eventually the boat trip or not.
