Chania
Departing from the Chania area, our boat trip takes you along the stunning Akrotiri Peninsula coastline, far from the crowds. You'll cruise past scenic bays like Kalathas and Machairida, with stops for swimming and guided snorkeling in clear, shallow waters. One of the highlights is a visit to the impressive Blue Cave, where sunlight reflects inside the rock to create an unforgettable glowing blue effect. Our guide ensures safe entry to the cave, either by boat or short swim, depending on sea conditions. Along the way, relax on deck and enjoy the peaceful coastal scenery.
Marathi Beach
We anchor near the beautiful Marathi area, known for its calm, clear waters and stunning coastal scenery. This is one of the best spots in the region for snorkeling — ideal for all skill levels. You'll have time to explore underwater marine life, swim at your own pace, or simply relax on the boat while enjoying the peaceful setting.

5.00Convenient 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!
Awesome Time!

5.00I 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!
Snorkelling in Chania/Souda Bay

5.00Travelling 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. 🇬🇷🐠🐡🤿

1.00I 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.
