Beautiful Agia Pelagia Bay in Crete is a great place to explore by boat. This small group tour kicks off with hotel pickups and sets sail from Agia Pelagia Port for a three-hour tour on the water. Marvel at hidden caves, secluded beaches, and vibrant sea life as you navigate around the bay, led by a skilled skipper. Cool off with stops for swimming and snorkeling before returning to the port and being transferred back to your hotel.

Overall we had a great trip, just some things to know that you aren’t told of .. You have to swim from shore to your boat and so must be able to swim confidently in the sea. This unnerved our daughter (12) but she did manage it. Our skipper was very friendly, allowed our daughter to “drive the boat”, knew the local area and fish etc

Good experience & snorkeling spots were great. The staff at Sailingcrete/Eurodiving who operated this trip were mostly friendly - our captain could've been a bit more! Main problem we had was with transfer back to our hotel afterwards, given we were on the half day morning trip, & there was no one available to take us until 5pm (our trip finished at 2.30pm). If we'd have known in advance that this was the case, then we could've planned for food/drinks. Local taxis pricey & unavailable!

The trip was lovely. Not hurried. Only duffuculty was getting onto the boat via a paddleboard and then onto a jetty on your hands and knees. Not good for people with limited mobility. But beautiful scenery and very friendly watchful guide.

Our skipper, Thannos, was so great - he took us to some beautiful snorkelling spots. We had a fabulous morning!

The boat trip was very small with only the 4 of us as a family on the boat The only thing that took a long time was the journey to the boat where we were in the bus for over an hour picking or dropping other people up that we're not on our trip. This could have been mi limited. However the trip itself made up for it and Matteus was fantastic. Telling stories and giving information throughout. He helped our daughter learn to snorkel for the first time as well.
