The minibus picks you up outside your hotel and takes you to the port in Heraklion (or we meet at the port), where the boat leaves. During the trip to the Island Dia the captain will explain some of the history and secrets about the protected Island Dia. Reaching the Saint George bay it is time to walk to the little church or just enjoy the silence by snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing. Then it is time for lunch and to try the delight Cretan food that is prepared by the skipper. After lunch we sail of again to a second hided bay to relax and enjoy. About around 5.5h the boat slowly sails back to the port of Heraklion where you can see the city from a new point of view. In the port the minibus is waiting to bring you back to your hotel.

The experience was wonderful. The staff was extremely friendly and humorous, and super helpful when friends were experiencing motion sickness. The boat was also supplied with everything we needed for the day including drinks, water activity supplies, and food. Overall great experience :)

I had a wonderful time sailing around Dia island! We were able to do some snorkeling and some stand-up paddle board, the water was very clear and the food was great.

This is a real sailing tour. Be prepared to get a little wet and feel the wind. Our captain and his first mate expertly navigated the trip to Día and prepared us a freshly cooked pasta dish with seafood, Greek salad, bread and tzatziki when we arrived at Dia. There was snorkel equipment to use, a SUP and a little beach. They even had some beanbags to help us relax. Absolutely worth the price.

Excellent day out for our family group of 8 on private sailing yacht. Got a good sail in and lots of swimming and snorkelling and a great lunch with plenty drinks from our skipper.

There was no element of this trip which was worth the money. For €180 for two, we expect a good day, which was not provided. We were picked up from the hotel and brought to Heraklion port, where we were told we would do covid tests. For the captain to tell us “he doesn’t believe in covid”, we would “not be doing the tests” and “if the police ask, say you were negative”. Which set the tone for the day.
The trip promised that the captain would provide you with the history and facts of the island, this DID NOT happen. The captain simply argued with his companion, smoked a pack of cigarettes, never spoke a word to the customers.
“Free snorkelling” is also said to be provided which meant disgusting masks which were stored in a bag, probably festering from never being cleaned.
When we anchored in the first bay/ Saint Georges bay , out of 2 promised bays, my partner and I asked if we could do some fishing for the captain to ask us what bait WE brought. As fishing was “provided”, we did not have bait so he provided it and told us “not to ask for anymore” alongside a broken fishing line.
We anchored so far away from the bay, you would have had to swim for 5 mins just to get to the “beach” which is 3 sun loungers on some rocks.
“Free drinks” were hardly offered. Lunch was served, a bowl of fishy pasta, salad, bread and breadsticks, hardly filled us.“Snacks” were said to be provided during the day but there was NOTHING.
We stayed in the one bay for 5+ hours. After finally moving and many arguments between the sailor and his companion, we thought GOD FINALLY were moving to the second bay which was promised; “ After lunch we sail of again to a second hided bay to relax and enjoy”.We sailed straight into the bay and straight back out with the captain saying “There’s a beach there but it’s got nothing”. The trip promised we would stop at 2 bays along Dia island which we did not. We stopped in ONE bay for 5+ hours!
When we finally anchored, the captain jumped off and walked away, never saying goodbye or thanking anyone.
Safe to say the day was disgraceful, never been more robbed of my money. After reading the Tripadvisor replies from the company confirms the fact the company place no effort into assuring the customer is satisfied due to their rude replies.
There are many travel agencies available for the Heraklion region so save your money and DO NOT use eye-travel. Cannot wait to see my reply to this😘
