You'll pass no end of beautiful coves, caves and beaches on this half-day boat trip along the north coast of Crete. What's more, you'll also enjoy a tasty lunch and stop off for some snorkelling along the way.

Casting off from the historic port of Rethymnon, you'll pass the Venetian Fortezza, where you'll admire the kind of views that make a perfect Instagram upload. With plenty of time to relax on board, you'll catch some rays out on deck as we continue on to the caves of Kefalas Bay – once the spot for plundering pirates to hide their treasure.

Dropping anchor, you'll stop off for a dip in the clear turquoise waters while back on board your hosts prepare a lunch made with the freshest local produce. Beautiful surroundings and top service make for a relaxing day on the waves.

You should tell people they need to check in first apt the kiosk to avoid them having to queue unnecessarily at the boat first and then back at the kiosk Toilet could have been cleaner

A very relaxing trip! Glad we didn't turn up at 8.15 as instructed in the booking since check in/boarding is from 9.30 - 10. Longer isn't needed during low season. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Clear instructions were given for the snorkelling and the staff kept a close lookout on all the passengers so we felt very safe. Lunch was well organised and delicious! We went to a lovely cove with few waves and plenty of fish. Excellent experience!

This was a very relaxing and enjoyable boat trip. The captain made sure that everyone understood about safety and what to do when it came to the swimming and snorkeling. As the boat moored a distance from a very rocky shore, while life jackets were available for less strong swimmers, I wouldn't recommend this trip for very young children. Lunch of Greek salad was very good. Excellent day. Well organised.

Avkopplande och mycket trevlig tur med serviceinriktad och rolig personal! Grottan var inte så jättestor dock och hade gärna haft ytterligare ett badstopp. Annars, kanon!

Great trip captain was fantastic and was very safety conscious. Great lunch too!!

Super härligt att komma ut på sjön när det var varmt. Kunnig personal och härlig snorkling. Enda tråkiga var att det var rätt lång sjöresa och endast ett snorkelstopp
