Discover some wonderful hidden places. Visit a stunning Waterfall, and one of the oldest Olive trees in the world to name just a couple of things you will see.
On this tour you will visit a Gorge and a hidden Waterfall on the east side of the island. Our tour leads you along the coastline with its spectacular views. Olive trees and wildlife are everywhere. We start our hiking walk near the coast, about a half hour later we reach through a jungle type of landscape the waterfall. Crystal clear cold water is descending from an 18 meter high rock formation in a tiny small lake where we can have a deserved refreshing dip in the clear spring water. Lunch will be served at a local Taverna at the waters edge. An amazing back to nature tour which will lead you through several different types of terrain which offers a display of Wild herbs, Olive groves, elusive wildlife and the pretty photogenic jungle at the Waterfalls.

The tourguide was really nice and could answer all my questions about the island. The waterfall itself was very beautiful and we also got to see an ancient village, olive tree which was 9000 years old and got to taste some locally produced olive oil. All in all a really succesful and fun day. 😀👍

Went to olive factory for a quick tour. Fortunately, we had been to another more extensive tour as this is a brief one but good. Visited one of the oldest olive trees in Crete. Very impressive. The walk to the waterfall. Walk is mild challenging but not for you ger people. A walking stick is very helpful. Waterfall was small but pretty. The drive up/down was the crazy part. Stopped at a local restaurant with a great view. Wonderful local spread of food! Our guide was very knowledgeable. Michael picked us up, and I would have liked to have had him as a guide, but he had a different tour, and we switched. If you are here for a short visit, it's a great way to see a lot of Crete.

Great excursion, fantastic, most memorable day. Even better tour guide with Michael. The ruins and oldest olive tree were a true natural sight! Olive tree was so beautiful and a calm feeling around.
What a day it was.. the meal at the taven was delicious, and I shall attempt baking the walnut syrup cake. Michael was an amazing tour guide. My partner accidentally dropped his phone out of his pocket at the ruins..and we searched and could not find it. Michael suggested waiting until sun down and looking on the mountain in the dark! We returned, and my partner was so stressed. A little while later, Michael found it about 20 feet away from where we were! What a genuine kind person, literally can not believe the day happened. We spent 15 hours in the end with Michael and met a lovely German lady too. Would i return? Yes! Even just to see Michael again. He truly looked after us. Thank you, Michael, God of the Mountains!

Thomas provided an amazing Cretan experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Crete history and culture. The drive in our Range Rover was comfortable, exhilarating and safe. He navigated the steep windy narrow road down and back up to the Richtis Gorge with comforting skill. The hike was beautiful and mildly challenging. Definitely wear secure and water safe shoes. The falls were a nice attraction running lightly in September. The ancient olive trees were interesting as was the olive oil tour. He added a lot of fascinating information as a long time local resident. Highly recommended. The lunch stop at the Panorama restaurant was delicious and authentic fresh local cuisine. The views were spectacular.

We really enjoyed our day to the Richtis Waterfall with our guide, Ralf. He was very friendly, knowledgable, enthusiastic and helpful. The lunch was delicious and was in a taverna with fantastic views over the bay. We would definitely use Adventure Crete again.

Me, my wife and 2 daughters had a fantastic day with Abel, the Adventure Crete driver, as we visited the Richtis Gorge waterfall, a lovely taverna for the inclusive Cretan lunch, the oldest olive tree in Crete, the Minoan ruins of Azoria and a tour of an olive oil factory. Able was both funny and informative, and was very helpful in all situations. His English and French were both very impressive and matched his knowledge of the places we visited. We would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone who is capable of partaking in the gorge walk.

Second time we’ve used Adventure Crete for a tour and they didn’t disappoint. Our Guide Abel was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything from Ancient Greek history to local herbs and plants. The tour was not rushed and gave spectacular views. Highly recommended. Tip: Take flip flops along with swimming costume to waterfall as the pool bottom is very stoney.

If you’re looking for a more adventurous/ cultural experience in Crete, I’d highly recommend these tours! Had a lovely day of exploring the region, enjoying an authentic lunch at a taverna tucked away in the mountains, and hiking into the Sarakina Gorge. We were a small group of 5, lead by Eric who was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the area!
