One of our favorite days on Crete. The boat was gorgeous and our guides were very welcoming. The small group made the trip even better. We saw many boats pull up with 30+ people on it and we were grateful for our 10.

My husband and I did this tour for our 1st anniversary and it was honestly the perfect day! We chose the 3pm option and the timing was just right, there were 6 passengers on board and we all fit on the boat just fine. The food was really lovely and the crew were super fun and accommodating. This is the perfect activity for a couple and would highly recommend getting the KTEL bus from Chania if you’re staying there! It’s much cheaper than a taxi and very reliable. 10/10 experience, would love to do this again some time!! I would also recommend bringing sea sickness tablets just in case as it can be a bit choppy on the water!

This was a truly wonderful experience I would recommend to anyone. The guys made you feel immediately right at home and we were fortunate enough to have a good combination of groups on the boat so that everyone was mingling and having a great time. A number of folks had dietary restrictions and the hosts were more than willing to accommodate. The food itself was simple and prepared to perfection. Drinks don’t stop flowing if you don’t want them to. Swimming in the sea is certainly a must as well - don’t be intimidated, we had people with some minor mobility issues but they were helped out of the water. Don’t forget you float nicely in salt water compared to fresh water. The seas definitely throw the boat around a little bit, but you get used to it quickly and it even starts to be fun riding the waves. If you get seasick, my advice is to watch the horizon! We took a cab from Chania to get there which ended up 50€, but the KTEL busses are my recommended transit option. Do it! Book it!
