5 out of 5. Loved it. - What a great evening. Picked up from very close to hotel in Hersonissos and taken to Heraklion port, we boarded the catamaran about 20 minutes before setting sail. It's a straight 1 hour cruise to Dia where we stopped for dinner and drinks. Dinner was 2 choices of pasta - seafood or tomato - with bread and Greek salad. Fresh fruit to follow. A surprisingly nice white wine washed it down, and there were plenty of soft drink alternatives. We didn't snorkel, but feedback from other guests was plenty of fish to see in lovely clear waters. Finally, a 1 hour sail home while the sun set. Beautiful views. Loved the whole experience.

Don't miss this trip. - What can I say. Absolutely fantastic trip. Kostas and Spiros were so pleasant and helpful. As an older solo traveller it can sometimes be a challenge but this was a dream. Lovely nibbles and plenty of wine or soft drinks. And a sunset to die for after a swim in Crystal clear waters at Dia island. Throughly recommend.

10/10 experience, would definitely recommend - We chose to go for the sunset cruise and the views were incredible. We took amazing pictures and had a blast. I was a bit anxious because the boat was choppy but the staff on board were so so attentive and reassuring. They really put me at ease. It’s definitely worth the money so I would 100% recommend

Amazing!! Top notch experience. - There was three of us on our trip Friday 6th September and the team who looked after us was as amazing as the views. We had the best experience ever. We couldn’t recommend this enough. The stay at Dia island was majestic, we had so much fun.

Don’t miss a sunset sail in Crete! - It was a lot of fun sailing for the first time! The boat was spacious and comfortable and apparently the newest catamaran in Crete! Spiros and Georgios were great hosts, playing fun music, giving us great drinks and yummy snacks. They also gave us instructions to keep us safe. Swimming in the bay off Dia was lovely. I’m so glad I took this excursion!

Fun thing to do on an evening - We didnt know if our trip would be cancelled due to the weather but the wind was apparently perfect sailing conditions. It was a fun and exciting ride as the sea was quite choppy. There were a few nice snacks and a good supply of drinks on our trip. We had a nice little swim stop for an hour or so then sailed back in the Sunset. The staff were reassuring to my girlfriend who was scared of the rough ride through the waves! Overall an enjoyable trip and nice to fill an evening.

Good trip - Relaxing cruise. Crew were friendly and the trip well designed. Seeing the sunset from the sea was magical. Suggest you eat beforehand or bring food. The finger food offered was sparse and not enough to refuel after a swim in the middle of the trip. Nice trip
