In one side it was 10/10 and in the other hand it was not a boat trip... so it was a 12 hour long excursion with a bus and a bit of boat... we stayed 5 hours on the bus, 1 on the boat, 1 hour swimming, 1 hour grill, 2 hours on the Spinalonga island 1 hour in an olive oil factory and 1 hours in Agios Nicolaus city. It was very beautiful and the tour guides were very nice so it's worth is to see this much beauty. The bus part was awful, we stayed a bit at like 10 hotels to collect the people (we started from Heraklion) . The swimming part was okay, a nice hidden ⛱️ ;) the bbq was not a big deal , I will insert a pic, and we had to pay 15 euro extra in cash for the food (1 slide of pork and a greek salad + 1 ????)... the island is amazing, that was the best part (you have to have 20 euro extra in cash for the entrance) . So after the beach and the Spinalonga the boat trip was over, back to the bus and to an ???? factory. We got some tasting:) back to the bus again, and we had 1 hour to see Agios Nicolaus city. And back to the bus for another 2.5 hour busride back to Heraklion. It's a full day activity but maybe worth to book a normal boat trip only to Spinalonga and if you have a car it's easier to visit the other places (it was 90 euro per total, not 55 like when we did the booking). It would be nice to know the full program in advance...but it was well organised
