Premium catamaran cruise to Dia Island in Crete

4.6/5
68 reviews

Cast off on a luxurious half-day catamaran cruise from the old Venetian harbour of Heraklion, gliding over to Dia Island in Crete. As you sail, you can tuck into traditional Cretan delicacies and refreshing drinks – setting the tone for the trip. Once you arrive at the island, you can take your pick from the watersports on offer – try paddle-boarding, snorkelling, fishing, or simply go for a swim – there's even an inflatable sea pool. After working up an appetite, you'll have an onboard Mediterranean feast designed by an award-winning chef, served up with unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks. For this experience, you can choose to sail in the morning sunshine or see the island at sunset, and if you want to opt for a little extra luxury, you can choose a private cruise.

    Unfortunately the information about disability access and facility are wrong 😕 The Tui rep at the hotel said it was ok . But I had to walk a narrow plank to access the catermeran and I could access the sea as the later was not suitable. It's not a Disability friendly cruise although no fault of the operators who were fantastic 😀 and helped beyond there remite..

    Wir wurden gleich am Hafen sehr herzlich in Empfang genommen und uns wurde auch auf Boot geholfen. Die netten Herren haben uns viele interessante Infos zur Insel erzählt und waren super lustig und nett. Das Schnorcheln dort war ein großartiges Erlebnis! Viel zu sehen und das Essen war einfach fabelhaft! Zu jeder Zeit haben wir uns sicher gefühlt! Das war nicht unser letzter Trip dorthin! Absolute Empfehlung!

    Le personnel au top on c'est senti directement en sécurité. La vue du couché de soleil etait magnifique. repas de très ********** qualitée. Le prix est raisonnable, peut-être serait il bien de faire une petite reduction pour les enfants de moins de 12ans.

    The catamaran was very clean , the staff were lovely , my family enjoyed the water paddle boarding and snorkelling, there was no fishing , except eating the fish , but had a great day a little bit over priced but still worth a great day out
