Dia Island Boat Cruise

4.6/5
381 reviews

Legend has it that the gods created Dia Island and there's certainly something heavenly about it. On this trip, you'll set sail to the mythical isle whilst enjoying all-inclusive drinks and a tasty lunch onboard. What's more, with plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling and even a spot of fishing too, this trip really gets the holiday vibes going.

Casting off from Heraklion, you'll admire Instagram-perfect views of Castello a Mare fortress as we leave the shore behind. With time to relax and sample a drink from the bar, you'll catch some rays out on deck as we cruise towards Dia Island – the favourite dive spot of underwater explorer, Jacque Cousteau.

Dropping anchor, you can dive into the Aegean and snorkel the same waters as the famous oceanographer or try your hand at some fishing. Then after the crew serves up a delicious lunch, there's more time to top up your tan on the leisurely cruise back to port.

    Great day out. Small group of 10 on the boat. About an hours sail to Dia Island, opportunity for a swim, snorkel or paddle board. Food was really nice, chicken and rice and feta cheese salad. Crew very attentive.

    Enjoyed all aspects of the trip. The sea crossing was a bit rough but that added to the excitement. Plenty of time to sun bathe and swim/snorkel in the quiet waters of the bay. Food was excellent and staff very attentive.

    Was very nice , although water temperature far to cold to swim from the boat to the island as hoped . The sea was beautiful and clear , there was no fishing option as we were told and we also explained that we wanted to snorkel amongst coves with the children, well the sea was about 6 meters deep so that was not possible. It was lovely although very overpriced
