It was such a Fantastic day trip We were picked up right on time and did a beautiful drive through the hills of Crete Even though it was cloudy the pink sand Beach was beautiful. We packed a picnic but there were lots of places to buy food. We were given snorkeling equipment and we did use it and saw a few fish. On the way back we stopped at a local vender for some tastings. It was such a wonderful experience. I would recommend to all.

Picked up on time and very friendly driver. He talked about places on the way and arranged to pick us up just before the rain started! Beach was beautiful and we enjoyed the visit.

Four of us booked this excursion from the cruise port, and had a great time. Our guide was easy to meet right after exiting the cruise port, and the van was comfortable. At our driver’s suggestion, instead of visiting Elafonissi, we instead opted to visit Falassarna Beach, which was (we understand) far less crowded and where we could count on having umbrellas and lounge chairs without having to fight the summer crowds. I believe this was the right choice, and the beach we wound up with had affordable chairs (7 Euros each) and relatively inexpensive, tasty Greek food options that could be ordered from your beach chair. All in all, Falassarna was beautiful, the drive was easy, and our driver/guide was great.
Two small points that didn’t detract from our trip at all, but are worth mentioning: (1) I don’t think paddleboarding was an option, and instead we were offered snorkeling equipment. Not an issue for us because we were more interested in relaxing and swimming than paddleboarding. (2) The tour is “private” in that you aren’t taking any public transportation, but you should anticipate that another group may also be on your tour with you. Not a complaint, just an observation.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours. Once this process is completed you will receive your voucher or ticket by email. If our local partner is not able to confirm your booking we will offer you the best possible alternative. If the new date and/or time doesn’t fit your itinerary, we will reimburse the full amount paid.
How great that you want to share your experience! Your feedback helps other travelers to make a better choice.
