Spinalonga Cruise - Great way to spend an afternoon in Agios Nikolaos. We got to the town around 10, browsed around the shops and cafes then took the cruise to Spinalonga. Very relaxing with a 30 minute swim session in crystal clear blue waters. Got to Spinalonga and spent an hour there touring the leaper colony with the help of our tour guide. Highly recommended!

Wonderful day trip - Booked online following good reviews. Our tour operator had a similar trip but included Agios Nikolaos, which seemed pointless as that’s where we were staying. Super friendly and knowledgeable tour operator. Enjoyable boat trip, where key points of interest were highlighted along the way. Swimming opportunity built into the trip, which was enjoyed. Arrival at Spinalonga was slick with the operator coordinating ticket purchases. Introduction and history explained followed by time to explore independently. Refreshments were available on the boat and ice cream was enjoyed all round on the return trip. Wonderful trip, very good value for money,

Well organized - Were traveling with our children, everyone liked very much, especially the bathing. We can only recommend ES.

Trip was as advertised - The trip was overral good. Boarded on time, and we had seats both in the lower and upper deck. The middle deck was a little crowded, but okay. The trip was as advertised. We didn't know we would be swimming in the deep ocean. My kids got scared the first time because they could thread water for too long. But they got excited afterward.

Yeah, sure. Experience to do - Beautiful scenery, diving in the bay at the top, comments in French and audio guide for spinalonga...I highly recommend this excursion

Nice trip if you want to see Spinalonga from Agio N. - Nice trip, lots of info from DE guide. There was just a little time left to explore for yourself. Especially if the pace is slower due to heat. Boat trip fine. 2 barr EN present for food and drinks. Ample seating, toilets. Just wonder why swim stop is on DE way and not on the way back, when people are warm by walking across Spinalonga. The only pity was that there were a large group of noisy Italians on board. With radio. Who went through EN singing and screaming and pretending to be alone on the boat. Staff didn't seem to do much about it. With radio also on the island. Disrespectful to my ENing and downright annoying.

Visit Spinalonga July 2025 - Great, too bad that the swimming time taken on the way, shortens the visit of the island by 30 minutes...

Nice trip with large group - Nice trip with short swim stop and drive to Leprosy Island. Very large, full boat - rather mass tourism - but fine for the price. The time on the island is not too lavish, but sufficient. Prices for drinks etc. on board fine.

Disappointing - Packed boat, 300 travellers plus. No shade if you’re not lucky enough to get Below Deck. Tour guide informative but lasted 10 minutes.

You could say it's a triad - I travel a lot and write little normally. 25 euros for a 1 hour crossing plus half an hour of bathing on the way, I think ok. But no one warns that when you arrive on the island you must pay 20 euros more to enter “fortified” recitation. Either that or you're waiting an hour and a half for the boat to set sail again on the mini-shadowless dock. Beyond the (more than limited) interest of the visit, this should be outlined in any brochure or website offering this experience. A ticket of 20 euros is meaningless and seems to me an exorbitant price, only assumable in the case of the wonders of the world. Wonders from which the island of Spinalonga is far removed. It will be something that has, in these times, "been on Netflix". The cruise is advertised as a “guide in all languages” and forgets about Spanish, the third most spoken in the world... even if it does not pose a problem because the information they give you is rather limited.
