Experience one of Eastern Crete’s most spectacular natural wonders on this exclusive Land Rover safari. Hike through lush gorge landscapes to the impressive 20-meter Richti Waterfall, swim in crystal-clear natural pools, explore hidden beaches along the north coast, and discover authentic mountain villages untouched by mass tourism. Visit the oldest olive Tree in Kavousi and the lost City of Azoria, a hidden historic place.
Maximum 6 Guests Per Vehicle: Unlike crowded coach tours with 40+ passengers, our Land Rover Discovery carries only 6 guests. You’ll sit in comfortable, forward-facing leather seats with air conditioning—never cramped sideways benches or uncomfortable military-style seating.

An amazing tour, well worth the money!!

5.00This was an amazing experience, particularly thanks to George our guide who went over and above! We saw so many things and had so many different experiences in one day, it was a real treat. Highlights were of course the Richti waterfall, which was a reasonably easy hike and beautiful to swim in, and then the lunch at Taverna Natural, which I still can’t believe was included in the price. The day packed in so much, it was well worth the money. We would recommend highly to anyone keen to explore the island in an easy way, and learn more about the history - the guide will give as much or as little as you ask for, so make the most of it!
Amazing tour

5.00This was an incredible excursion - we enjoyed every minute. My 10 year old son , who can be difficult to please, described it as his favourite day of our 7 night stay in Crete. The tour guide, Michael, is extremely passionate and knowledgeable of the local area. We were picked up directly from our hotel and we felt well looked after from start to finish. The Richter Waterfall is a beautiful spot - we swam in the fresh water pool which was enjoyable and refreshing. We were driven around the mountains and shown incredible views over Crete, which we wont forget in a hurry. The local Cretan food was also delicious ! I cannot rate this excursion highly enough for those who are keen to explore some of the Island and its natural beauty, Ancient ruins and wildlife.
Excellent!

5.00Great way to see some highlights of the East side of Crete. We enjoyed the relatively short hike to the waterfall at the Richtis Gorge and especially the olive oil factory tour and tasting. Lunch was a delicious variety of traditional Greek foods with a breathtaking view.
A TOP tour in Crete

5.00We did this tour with Enrico Ferluga from Adventure Crete and this was a special day. Enrico has been able to tell us so much about Crete and other historical matters. After seeing the waterfall have had a lovely lunch with fantastic views of the sea. Congratulations to Enrico who made a big contribution to this fantastic day which ended at the olive factory, where we were able to buy top olive oil.
