Athens Snorkeling Swimming Cruise

We did the private snorkeling with pick up and added on visit to Poseidon's Temple. George was incredible! It was my husband's birthday and George brought a cake. Also, we had told him that we were hoping to see octopus while snorkeling. He brought along his colleague, Danai, who is an "octopus whisperer!" She had great experience and respect for these incredible creatures. The weather conditions were unfavorable for going out on the boat, so George drove us to the safest place to snorkel off of the shore. It was a great experience and George and Danai went above and beyond. It was a great birthday for my husband and a highlight of our trip!

Could not have had a better experience! Everything was absolutely amazing! We were traveling with George for about a week and he was such a delight and so knowledgeable, I was never disappointed.

George (owner) picked us up at Port Piraeus and zipped us down to the marina for an awesome day on water. When arriving at the marina we met the boat captain (also named George 😀). The “George’s” were excellent hosts. Kind, insightful and constantly making sure we had everything we needed. Boat had a nice canopy to keep heat at bay and a wonderful foredeck with plenty of space for more passengers. We zipped over to an island and snorkelled in caves and pristine water. Next we motored to a stunning bay which felt like it was just there for us. After another snorkel experience we chilled on the boat enjoying some wonderful local snacks they provided including a local melon which was insanely delicious….. after checking with us on the afternoon plan, we went to a smaller island then an amazing swimming area to top off the day, on the mainland coast. The team were flawless. Their care and focus on us as guests was warm yet casual which made it super relaxing. I will be recommending George’s team to others for both this experience plus the other private tours & diving he offers. We found a gem! Thanks again to “ Team George” at Extreme Tours, wish all operators were as cool as these guys 🤙

WE HAD SOOOOOO MUCH FUN WITH THIS TOUR COMPANY (EXTREME DIVERS) THAT THIS WAS OUR SECOND TOUR WITH THEM!!! This time our guide was Vanai and our skipper was again George! This time the weather cooperated and we had an even more amazing experience because the snorkeling was even better! We are avid snorkelers. It was so nice to have a private tour, as the itinerary was entirely up to how we wanted to spend the day. We went to the coast of Aegina and got to snorkel a shipwreck and see so many colorful fish! Vanai was an extremely talented photographer taking photos for us with her go pro and on my iPhone! IT REALLY WAS JUST THE MOST PERFECT DAY ON THE WATER IN GREECE!

My wife and I took the private snorkeling with hotel pickup in Athens. This was one of the best excursions on our trip. The hotel pickup and drop off made it extra stress free. Our guide and captain were excellent. They asked where we would like to snorkel and gave us great options for what we were looking for. We were taken to beautiful areas including sites with fish, boat remains and caves. We were never rushed and whenever we felt like we were ready to go, we then went back to shore and took a scenic trip along the coast and visited the Temple of Poseidon. We then went to a nearby place to eat and have a drink, before going back to the hotel.. It was very relaxing and chill day. I would highly recommend Extreme Divers to anyone visiting Athens.

Loved our experience! Everyone was so kind and helpful. They checked in with us and made sure everyone was safe and happy. Even gave us a lift to a phenomenal restaurant! Simply, the best!!

I can not imagine finding someone more trustworthy or more fun to work with than George and his crew. They are honest, professional, safe and extremely flexible- they will cater to your preferences. I was able to snorkel with a few friends in areas with no one else around and experience the enchantment of the Aegean Sea. At the same time one of my friends scuba dived and other friends relaxed on our boat. It was perfect for each of us. It’s a great gift to work with a family run company who cares deeply about honoring their word and representing their family, community and country well.

We did 3 different excursions, George was an awesome tour guide. Very knowledgeable and delight to be with, very patient with us. LOL Had a great time and saw so much in the short time we were there. Would recommend Extreme Divers if your looking to do anything in and around Athens, Greece

Astonishing experience .... We organized this activity during a team building event and it was a great opportunity to connect and interact with our colleagues. The organizers were very accurate, professional, respecting the safety protocols and offered to us an unforgettable experience in Athenian Riviera that all of us will keep in our heart and memory for ever. The shipwreck is must :) They offered also an underwater camera to capture our moments, which was very much appreciated... Go for it, it worth's the time to invest to this. Thank you Georgios for your professionalism and marvelous tour. E.

We didn't get the same experience as advervised. We were taken to 1 spot to snorkel. After an hour or so we were bored so we wanted to go somewhere else. The tour guide tried to get us to go to Poseidon's temple again. After saying no to it the 4th time and wasn't given another option, we went along. "Oh but its going to cost more. Oh we have to drive there." Wish we knew it upfront. I thought I booked a private cruise where I get to pick where to go. We didn't have enough money so tour guide took us to an ATM to withdraw cash for him. We paid 400 euros but afterward I searched on Tripadvisor and saw a $54.97 per adult trip to Poseidon's temple. We were hot and miserable driving around, not the cool relaxing cruise we booked. The trip lasted about 4 hours. Tour guide told Viator customer service that the trip was 7 hours long and the reason he didn't take us to the places advertised because I don't swim. There is no requirement on swimming to book this trip. The view info link said "Bring ... towels if you’re planning to swim" so swimming is optional. We went on a "Luxury Catamaran Cruise from Athens with Traditional Greek Meal and BBQ" with Sailing Athens the day before and it was perfect. Wish we had gone with them again instead of this shameful Extreme Divers. One star for the 1 spot tour guide took us to.
