5.00LOVED IT! We were picked to from our hotel and boarded the catamaran helped by the able crew! After a safety briefing we were off across the bluest beautiful sea! Escorted briefly by 4 dolphins, we arrived at the shallower waters where we left the boat to snorkel and swim. Waters were crystal clear and plenty of fish etc to see. Back on the boat for a tastey lunch of pasta and Greek salad, all cooked by the captain. Plenty of food, plenty of refreshments and the crew were just great, friendly and knowledgeable. I would thoroughly recommend this trip, I would happily go again and again! Thank you for a great trip! Yamas!!!
Amazing outing

5.00Incredible experience! The crew were absolutely amazing and so skilled. Our host Romina was so generous, knowledgeable and genuinely made the most glorious Greek salad we’ve had with her own, homegrown olive oil. Amazing tour, a must do in Heraklion

5.00We had an unforgettable trip to Dia Island on a catamaran. From the moment we stepped onboard, everything was perfectly organized — the crew was warm, attentive, and made us feel completely relaxed. The catamaran itself was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room to soak in the stunning views of the Cretan sea. The ride was smooth, and the stop at Dia gave us time to swim in crystal-clear waters and enjoy the serenity of this beautiful island. The food and service exceeded all expectations. We were treated to a freshly prepared meal with delicious flavors and served with genuine hospitality. Every detail, from refreshing drinks to the attentive care of the crew, made the experience feel special. If you’re looking for a mix of adventure, relaxation, and excellent service, I can’t recommend this trip enough. It’s the perfect way to enjoy Crete from the sea — we’ll definitely be back!

5.00Every year we come to Crete and we're here for the first time. The swim was amazing, we enjoyed the sun and the clean water. We studied the SUP and tried to dive a little. After that, the food was also very delicious!!!
