What to expect
The clear-cut waters surrounding Crete are home to a fascinating array of marine life – making it nothing short of snorkelling heaven. Sailing from Kolymbari, you'll soak up the views of the Chania coast before diving into the Mediterranean to see shoals of exotic fish, colourful coral and more.If you've never tried snorkelling before, then this the ideal chance. Head to the dive centre and you'll be greeted by friendly guides who'll give you a quick intro to all the essentials. After that, it's into a boat to cruise by the secluded beaches of Menies and Spilies on route to one of Crete's premier dive spots.Plunge into the warm waters of the Med and you'll soon be exploring the underwater kingdom. And with crystal clear water, you won't miss out on a thing. Dry off in the sunshine and catch some rays on the way back to shore. And for complete flexibility, you can choose between a morning or an afternoon trip.

Just the right amount of time at 4hours of which just over half is snorkelling. Good for non-snorkellers as boat trip interesting. It was a struggle to get onto beach without water shoes due to stones and slippery rocks. Good value for money. Plenty of space boat which had toilet facilities. Helpful crew (Smile Cruises). The length of trip meant we could be back for late lunch so not a strenuous day.

The whole trip was very straightforward with transfer included. The trip there was quite long due to the number of stops but much quicker on the way back. The boat was comfortable and not overcrowded and both stops were beautiful. The crew were friendly and helpful. Overall a lovely day out and great value for money.

Staff on the boat were great. Two stop offs were beautiful with lots of time to snorkel. Drinks available on board if you wanted to buy any. Only downside was that there wasn’t much room on the boat and if you sat us the the cover you’d get no sun.

The snorkelling was great. The guide was jolly and helpful but couldn’t hear his commentary during the boat trip so missed out on interesting facts and information

Whole trip was amazing. Coach transfer was good/comfy. 4 hours out at sea, two stops including jumping from the roof of the boat into some crystal clear deep water. Boat was clean comfy and not too overcrowded. Would definitely recommend and would do the trip again without hesitation. Tip: take some drinks / snacks - there are some on the boat to buy but not very much!

Selve båtturen var fin. Burde fått tilbud om redningsvester. Hadde vært fint å vært forberedt på monstervepsene.

The trip was very good. I expect that a little more room on the most in the sunny position. Would be good. Most of the most was in the shade, and as it was first on her the choice I think it should state in literature that most of most is in the shade. I’m

The guide was great, she was very knowledgeable and we felt that it helped us enjoy an experience I have not done before. There is quite a bit of travelling but the views are incredible so definitely worth it!

The transfer was very late and our original excursion was cancelled so prepare that you might not be able to go when you have booked, which meant we had no lunch on the excursion. However once on the boat, the tour guide was very nice and accommodating and the 2 spots we went to we're very nice.

It stated when we booked the excursion that it included a soft drink. It did not include a soft drink and all refreshments had to be paid for. You might want to change your details for this excursion.

Great overall experience. Staff were informative and safety was paramount. No sign, disappointingly, of our free beverage but we purchased water that was available from the cool box. Snorkelling was great fun and the teens enjoyed it immensely.

Incredible day, beautiful scenery and lovely locations. Saw wild goats on a remote beach and an ancient ruin of a temple , all places we would never normally go to. Our teenagers loved it . Our guide Phil was brilliant . Thank you

Was a good trip overall, the snorkelling sites visited were interesting included caves and was good to walk up to the viewpoint and visit the little church. The negatives would be that the boat was too crowded, crammed shoulder to shoulder on the benches made the journey uncomfortable. We never got the complimentary orange juice either and there was no safety announcement about life jackets or rings even though there were all sorts of people on the trip. Overall a good trip though.

Guide was helpful & reassuring. Pick up and drop off was simple & stress free. Description of excursion is misleading however…no free drink was offered - drinks and food available came at a cost. However, the snorkelling experience and the amazing knowledge of the tour guide made up for this. A must do when in Crete!

The trip was a great getaway from the hotel for a few hours. The ride along the coastline was lovely -the sea is beautiful and so clear, worth the visit to the 2 bays - best day out ! Great guide too
