Amazing tours to do in Chania Crete.
S3480NDtoddp, October 2026
We were met with Errika at the dock of Chanin Crete, and taken to the beach side of the island, where we were met with our instructor and tour guide Matt. Great and simple instruction, our tour lasted about 4 hours, all of us had such a great time, including cliff jumping, mud bath and the nature. Some of the clearest water to be seen. Props to the instructor due to the fact that he had to rescue my wife and the young man that was trailing behind us. This is a must do, very highly recommended. Great job to all.

Best Activity in Crete
Bonnie_E, September 2026
This is the best activity in Crete! We’ve done this twice now. Babbi is an excellent instructor and guide. Lots of great surprises and good laughs in this activity. We came back to Crete just to do this again.
