Great time snorkeling. The water clarity and visibility was incredible. They took us to an amazing cave, we snorkeled back into it about 50 meters, it was amazing. The crew were extremely professional, friendly and helpful. It would recommend to anyone and would like to check out more snorkeling adventures with them! 5 stars!

People were very nice and helpful but the boat was a rubber boat and not a sailboat. So it was cold and tight spaced.

We took our 6 year old for her first time snorkeling in the ocean. The staff and captain were great. They provided great equipment, including wet suits (Oct the water is a tad cool). My daughter swam about 20 minutes each in 2 different locations. She had a blast. Great for first time snorkelers.

These guys are terrific! Very professional, funny and fun. I loved the experience and would definitely book a dive with them in the future.
DOUGLAS_F, Nov 2025
Really fun day snorkeling! The crew was super and made sure everyone was OK and safe in the water. We wore wetsuits and had a guide into the caves and around the rocks. Not a lot of fish to see but the caves and rock formations were interesting. Christiana arranged pick up and return to our cruise ship. We had a great experience and would highly recommend Chania Divers!

Everything on time, friendly, safe, attentive. Great for all ages. The pick up and drop off was really nice.
Mark_K, Oct 2025
Very fun experience, started out in a more protected area to make sure we all knew what we’re doing. We then went to a larger, less protected area that was beautiful. The guides were fun and engaging, recommend it if you like snorkeling in beautiful waters.

Absolutely amazing experience. Vasili and Andreas were very informative and friendly. Would highly recommend!!
Gerald_M, Sep 2025
It was a great tour. We really enjoyed, the snorkeling was beautiful. The water is beautiful.
I believe our snorkel guide was name Elena (not sure I’m spelling correctly)
She was the best, the captain and the driver that took us to the boat we’re all wonderful.

This was a really great trip from the moment we stepped off the ship. We were picked up right outside our ship and taken to a Beautiful small port to begin our excursion. We fully enjoyed our snorkel and cave exploration. The crew was professional fun and knowledgeable. 10/10 would do it again!!

Convenient pick up and drop off. The perfect timing of a shore excursion for a cruise. Guides were helpful. Water was beautiful. We snorkel off of Florida, different experience. More interesting rock formations to see underwater and some fish!

I highly recommend Chania Diving! Whether you’re snorkeling or diving, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. They took us to some stunning spots, were super friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. Great conversations, beautiful locations, and genuinely kind people—I’d book with them again in a heartbeat!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much! It was our pleasure to dive with you and we will be more than happy to see you again.

Travelling to Crete on a P&O cruise ship decided to book this snorkel trip via trip advisor. The advance Communication from Chania Diving Centre was superb. We provided details of our ship and our ETA at the port. They sent a minibus clearly liveried as Chania Diving Centre and it picked us up at the dock gate literally 100 yards from the ships gangway. The friendly driver Nikos arrived bang on time at 0850 and told us a bit about Souda Bay as we drove to the ‘dive site’. A rigid inflatable boat whisked us off and we stopped at 2x good snorkelling sites. I seen a parrotfish, trumpet fish, spider crab and lots of other species. Very friendly guides Vasili (aka Basil) from South Africa and Andreus from Turin, Italy. We had a great morning and got dropped off back at our cruise ship by about 1-45. Very good value and friendly team. 🇬🇷🐠🐡🤿

Thank you so much. It was our pleasure to meet you all!
We hope to see you again on your next visit to Crete.

Captain Basil, Jen, and Aleni were wonderful hosts and teachers on our snorkle tour! The spots were so beautiful and I felt safe and like I was on an adventure at the same time. Wear sunscreen!!!
Andrea_P, Jun 2025
I would not recommend this tour at all. Their communication was horrible and at the last minute, they told me they couldn’t pick me up and refused to refund me my money and no reason was given. They said I did not communicate with them and I have proof of emails that I sent with no response.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Dear guest,
We are truly sorry to read that you were disappointed. However, we did our best to communicate with you before the activity. We sent you three emails requesting your exact pickup location, as you only informed us that you were on a cruise ship. Unfortunately, we did not receive any response with the port you would be arriving at.
Please understand that it is not possible for us to guess where each cruise ship will dock, and it is the customer’s responsibility to provide clear information about their location.
Only 30 minutes before the activity, you let us know that you were 2 hours away and could not attend. At that point, we had already reserved equipment and staff for your experience, which is why a refund was not possible under our cancellation policy.
We always strive to provide excellent service and communication, and we kindly ask our guests to do their part as well.
We wish you all the best in your future travels.

Trained helpful divers and snorkelers.. The staff was observant of everyone needs. They helped a member of our group snorkel for the first time and took an advanced snorkeler on a deep dive.
Karen_H, Sep 2024
Good pre trip arrangements and contact. I felt looked after on the boat and during the snorkeling. We went to two lovely snorkeling spots.
Downside no toilet or changing on the boat.
Although 8.30 start didn't return to Chania until 14.30.
It was a super trip thanks to all the staff.
Tiina_K, Sep 2024
We had a very nice time! Really good and friendly service! Felt safe the whole trip. Everyone enjoyed.
Albert_M, Sep 2024
Our snorkeling trip was another highlight of our Greek adventure. Captain George was both knowledgeable and hands-on, making sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the day. Demitra, our guide in the water, was amazing—she stayed with us the entire time, pointing out fascinating sights beneath the surface. One of the coolest moments was when she handed us a sea urchin to hold. Adding a personal touch, Demitra’s father, who was our transport driver, shared that he was on holiday from South Africa, and we’re now planning to visit him soon. It was a very cool and memorable day.
Jack_H, Sep 2024
This family run business is simply amazing! They picked us up from our cruise ship and got us back in a timely manner. This was the highlight of our excursions, beautiful waters in the sea of Crete snorkeling at
in the caves jumping from the rocks, Marine life starfish, large, minnows swimming. It was an amazing experience.. The crew was very accommodating and careful to make sure we were safe and the beautiful waters. Special thanks to Dimitrakopoulou, Jared and Papa Basil!

Basil and his daughter made our trip really relaxing and enjoyable loved every minute of it. Would definitely do again
Andrea_T, Aug 2024
We had a fun day snorkelling. The guides were experienced and had focus on our safety and learning all through out the day. The pick-up driving service was nice.
Cyrille_C, Aug 2024
Everything was taken care of - from personalized pickup at the hotel to the harbour.
Unique experience in the sense that Dimitria and her family really take the time to show you the best spots, by snorkeling with you. Snorkeling tutorial is also very clear.
These people are true pros !
Assya_P, Aug 2024
The instructors were great and very supportive. They gave us one-on-one attention making sure everyone was doing well and was safe. The trip was very well timed. We saw great water wild life!
Ash_B, Jul 2024
Great instructor and Capitan . Very accommodating for children (8 & 10) . Small groups and very little waiting around
Sindre_C, Jul 2024
Great! Fun. Good service! Would love to come back again. we are deaf - but they took us into account.
Paula_C, Jul 2024
A brilliant trip. Basil was a great guide, very knowledgeable and great at keeping the group together.
Elisabeth_S, Jul 2024
Our snorkeling tour was the highlight of our trip to Crete! Our guide, Dimitria, couldn't have been any better. She was incredible...enthusiastic, engaging, knew the answers to all our questions, and was a wonderful host. The crew was just as amazing. We went to beautiful areas to snorkel, they had all the equipment ready to go, and we had plenty of time in the water to explore. Thank you to Dimitria and crew for making our vacation so memorable!
Laura_B, Jun 2024
I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide Dimitra and boat captain/driver George were exceptional, they were both very friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable. Dimitra made a point of remembering all 7 of our names at the beginning which was very impressive. She was lovely and made our tour as enjoyable as it was. We had a marvellous time snorkelling and jumping off the boat in the sunshine. There was an emphasis on safety throughout the tour which was reassuring. It was such a lovely afternoon that our family will remember forever!
Leonard_G, Jun 2024
We had an amazing time snorkeling on this tour. We saw lots of good sea life, and a turtle while on the boat. Went to 2 spots to snorkel and they were both beautiful. The crew was very friendly and good with families/kids. Would recommend this tour to anyone looking to spend some time in the water and see some pretty sights.
