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.

The staff couldn’t help the rough sea which made everyone onboard unwell but the conditions should be explained at booking. Nature of the boat makes it lean and throw its passengers about. It would also help if the staff didn’t all just stand on the top deck constantly smoking / vaping whilst everyone around them is being sick. When you have free time to swim, ensure you are a strong swimmer. Your a good 100mt from any sort of cave and the water is very deep.

Ingen sikkerhetsinfo, kunne ikke se en eneste redningsvest. Synest det var for dyrt. Lite guiding med uforståelig engelsk. De ble servert en nydelig gresksalat med fetaost, olivenolje og brød. Burde vært ett Alternativ for barn. Eller ok mat. Lurt å ta med drikke, egne snorkler og masker kan være greit, ymse kvalitet på utstyr. Fikk snorkle i ca 1 time i en bukt. Fin opplevelse, men 1,5 time tur retur fra bukten. Turen tok totalt 5 timer

Best prijzig, het was leuk, mooi weer, leuk gesnorkeld, eten was lekker. Maar wat je krijgt voor de prijs, 10 minder p.p. Had wel gekund.

Tui voisi parantaa infojaan reissusta. Tui kertoo sivuillaan, että laiva lähtee klo 9 ja pitäisi olla 45min aikasemmin perillä. Oikee aika laivan lähdölle on klo 10. Ja ruuat ei pitäny paikkaansa, kun luvattiin herkku bbq lounas. salaatin ja limpparin sai. Muuten meri hieno ja kiva käydä pulahtamas. Loppumatka pitkäveteinen. Rentouttavan veneretken nimeksi voisi muuttaa venereissu merirosvolaivalla.

De bootrit duurder 5 uur We zijn langs de kust gereden bellen naar die grotten heeft die een ding gezegd van Kijk dat is een schedel en toen gingen we eten en mochten we zwemmen en daarna gingen we alweer terug is Ging allemaal heel snel word ik heel erg jammer vond de muziek stond veel te hard waardoor het niet rustgevend was totaal niet waar voor me geld
