Dia Island Boat Cruise

4.6/5
358 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.

    We hadden een andere verwachting bij het snorkelen. De snorkelsets waren niet allemaal in orde en er was helaas weinig tot niets te zien. Ook het zeilen was heen & weer varen, terug zelfs op de motor..We hadden een ander beeld bij de excursie; wij dachten meer varen en zo nu en dan een stop. Uitleg van TUI kan ook beter voor verwachtingsmanagement. Tot slot kan het pickup point beter afgestemd/gecommuniceerd worden. Wij stonden op een andere plek dan waar de chauffeur ons verwachtte.

    L'équipage, les deux capitaines, nous ont clairement gâtés ! Très avenant et à l'écoute. Padel à disposition et repas et boissons compris. Le spot d'arrêt est magnifique: crique avec eau claire et possibilité de rejoindre 2 petites plages. Pour être au calme, c’est l’idéal sauf si un catamaran vient s'installer juste à côté musique à fond... Ce fut également l'occasion de découvrir le port d’Héraklion. A refaire, je choisirais une destination avec quelque chose à visiter.

    I found it difficult to get back onto the boat from swimming in the sea. My upper body strength isn’t that good.
