Dia Island is a hidden gem with a peaceful, off-grid feel, just off Crete's north coast. Sail away on a morning or sunset trip from the Venetian port of Heraklion towards Dia. Onboard, you'll find snorkelling gear, a SUP paddleboard and fishing equipment for your enjoyment. You'll anchor at Dia Island to swim, snorkel or simply bask in the sun. Lunch or dinner, complete with local white wine, is served beneath the cliffs.

We enjoyed every part of it. The crew were superb and gave us information as we sailed along. The swimming stop at Dia Island was great and all the passengers went for a swim. The boat was equipped with buoyancy aids for the children on board. The food was very tasty and presented well and there were alcolholic and non-alcoholic drinks available. On the way back the captain caught quite a large fish which was exciting. Really good value for money and so much fun.

We experienced some of the best hospitality we have ever had with our crew on this trip (we think it’s Manos and Marian but that might be wrong!). They were friendly, knowledgable and experienced. It was very interesting to watch them sail the boat and Dia Island was a great location for snorkelling. Everything went smoothly with transfers and the trip, and the food prepared onboard by the crew was also very nice. Very personal feel to the trip and would recommend to anyone. Worth the money.

I loved the fact that we had 3 hours to do what ever we liked. We were proved with swim gear like fins, snorkel, paddle boards and noodles. The staff were great. Ensuring we were all comfortable at all times throughout the trip. Food was amazing too. Freshly made.

This was a fantastic trip and the crew were brilliant. We were particularly impressed with the attention to detail with our dietary requirements. I am Coeliac and my son is severely allergic to dairy. The team had gone to a lot of trouble to provide suitable alternatives and make the food work for us all. The pastilla (? Sesame seed and honey) were such a lovely touch! Only feedback would be to include beers in the drinks choice and some more cushions / back support but I’m nit-picking. Fab trip
