So much fun and beautiful water at all three snorkel stops! Totally professional crew with excellent equipment. They were able to pick us up at the cruise port and this allowed us time in the afternoon to explore Chania. We are certified divers and recommend the way they handled the whole experience.
We had the best experience on this excursion! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Our skipper was great! Went swimming with us and everything. The best surprise was there was someone along the ride to take photos and sjatr with us afterwards. Our photographer, Maria, was so kind and loved taking pictures of everyone. You can tell the skipper and Maria love their job. Highly recommend
Absolutely amazing experience!! Tour guides were super friendly and informative and made every effort to make the experience unforgettable, thank you so much ☺️
We had a wonderful snorkeling experience. I went with my 13-year-old son and we both really enjoyed the experience. We spent over three hours on the boat visiting three different snorkeling locations, and each one was beautiful and exciting. The atmosphere was friendly, well-organized, and relaxing. Highly recommended for families and anyone who wants to explore the sea around Crete!
This glass bottom boat tour this morning was simply superb with Nicolas. I wish I could swim. I could have snorkelled then! 😊I fed the fish, though! Was great fun!
We booked the snorkelling experience from our hotel ( Kiani Beach). It was a seamless experience. They picked us up from the hotel reception - we snorkelled at 3 good spots and the snorkelling instructor was really helpful and attentive. Great photos at the end of the trip too!
Very common diving, little to see except the elephant cellar, very cold water. Very nice instructor But we're in a hurry to get to the site fast, get back, get back on the shuttle. Service not great even if the team is cool. I don't recommend it!
We were unable to go due to the poor weather, asked if we could make a larger boat and if we could make our own way there to the boat although pick ups were included in our tour? We weren’t going to be able to make the boat as is was notified to us too late in the morning The excursion was cancelled regrettably. Had to call Viator myself to get a refund which I am waiting to land
Thank you for your feedback, and we are genuinely sorry for the disappointment and frustration caused by the eventual cancellation of your excursion. The safety of our guests is our absolute priority, and we rely on the final authorization from the port police, which we received too late for your schedule. For clarity, you contact us by phone before your booking, and we highlight the very unpredictable weather forecast for that day, and that we cannot guarantee the program will run. We appreciate that you still chose to book with us. Our team was in constant communication, updating you both the evening before and the morning of the trip. As soon as the port authority gave us the official clearance, we immediately contacted all guests. We sincerely apologize that this timing did not work for you and for any subsequent confusion with the refund process. We are glad this was resolved via Viator and have confirmed the refund on our end. We deeply regret that the circumstances prevented your trip and hope we might have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
The facility and equipment were clean. The staff was friendly and provided equipment safety instructions. They provided us three opportunities in different locations to snorkel. Our tour guide provided life vests to swimmers who request a vest. Our tour guide was always in the water checking on the snorkeling participants. Snacks and water were made available to us for energy.
Thank you for highlighting our commitment to safety, cleanliness, and guest care. We're pleased to hear you felt well-looked after, from the equipment instructions to the constant supervision in the water by our guide. Providing a structured and secure experience is very important to us. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back on another adventure.
Was a really nice snorkeling adventure. It was a really beautiful location and the staff was so nice. I wasn't expecting to get a snack because I only book a 3 hour adventure but it was a nice surprise. There wasn't a lot of the day I went out but I understand it's hit or miss with that kind of thing. My husband and I had a wonderful time and beautiful pictures from that day.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy you and your husband had a wonderful time on your 3-hour adventure. The snack is a little something we like to include for all our guests to keep energy levels up. We appreciate your understanding about the marine life – as you said, it can vary from day to day, but we're glad the beautiful location, friendly staff, and photos made for a memorable experience. We hope to see you both again!
