This was a top experience of all time for us. Stelios made it great - showed us how to paddle (our first time), took great care and concern for our safety and took pictures of everything. It was a gorgeous day and the water was perfect. It was a nice mix of activities - seeing the cave, doing the mud and cliff jumping (I bravely did!). We hope to bring our kids back to this beautiful island, its people and even do this experience. So worth it!
Excellent experience, suitable for all.

My partner & I were picked up from our hotel & driven to the location. After meeting the instructor we were shown where to leave our belongings & then given our buoyancy aids & paddles. After a brief explanation/ demonstration for anyone not experienced in paddle boarding, we set out across the bay stopping at various places for resting/ swimming/ jumping off the rocks etc. This was a really fun experience, suitable for complete beginners. It’s not too far to paddle and being in a large bay, the water is pretty calm. Would recommend for all levels of ability.
GREAT Excursion!!

This was AMAZING! Nick was incredibly patient and very informative! The entire Excursion from beginning to the end was just so wonderful! The water and scenery is other worldly! Crazy beautiful! Erika, our driver picked us up right at the Port, had a sign waiting and then she took us into town instead of returning us to the boat which was great because that old town is not to be missed! Especially the point at the end which is called Venetian Point I believe and it looks like a little town in Italy it is just sunny so definitely go into the town don't skip that!
Fab experience!

This was a really nice slow SUP around a bay of about 2km in total. We stopped a few times and went very slowly. We probably could have done a bit more paddling, but it was still nice. We didn't get to swim in the Turtle Hole Cave as the tide was too high, but best to be safe than sorry.

This was an amazing experience. Our guide, Bobby was so kind and helpful. He was very patient with everyone and their boards were very new. The water was so warm and clear and Bobby kept taking us to different areas so we could see lots of things. Very nice surprises. He took lots of pictures for us also. We really enjoyed this trip the most of all our activities in Crete.

Loved this tour. Guides were entertaining and fun. Could use less time with the ‘mud facials’ would have enjoyed more time paddling. But overall an excellent tour and our driver from the cruise terminal was 10/10
