Our booked sailing tour had to be postponed by 3 days because the weather didn't allow it. Safety comes first, and we fully understood that. We were all the more pleased that it still worked out during our vacation. The wind was still quite strong, but you could feel the skippers' experience, so we arrived safely at the swimming stop to go snorkeling. We saw lots of fish. The food was very good and more than plentiful. We would book this tour again and can highly recommend it.

This was the last cruise of the season. The weather was great. Although the waves didn't look that high, the boat was rocking quite a bit. I loved it, my children got seasick. Markos, our skipper, took us safely to the bay where we could swim and snorkel. The meal, pasta with shrimps followed by fruit, was very tasty. The atmosphere was very relaxed. These five hours were a highlight of our stay in Crete.

Such a great tour! Well organized, superb guide, fluent in German, French and English, nice, funny and original. Good bus driver too. Guide explained a lot and explained things along the way. Elafonisi was a dream, getting there early, before all the other tourists. That's how a trip should be organized. Thank you

I learned and experienced a lot on this tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and solid. I enjoyed the palace and then seeing some related items at the museum. There was an adequate amount of time at each stop.

High waves but fun sailing. Snorkelling and lunch at the boat
