Heraklion: Sunset Sailing Cruise Dia Island with Snorkeling

2.Sunset Sailing Cruise Dia Island with Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 529 reviews · 4.5 - 7 hours · from $82

Sail from Heraklion to uninhabited Dia Island with a small crew of up to 18 people. Swim, snorkel near an old Minoan port, use the paddleboard, and enjoy Greek food onboard. Full-day trips include salad, tzatziki, and seafood pasta, while half-day trips include tomato pasta. Crew members such as Andreas and George add local stories and friendly help.

“We had a wonderful time! There were a lot of people on the boat but it didn’t feel crowded. The cove where we anchored was lovely — our only complaint was that a party boat anchored nearby and played loud (bad) house music the whole time. It made the experience slightly less idyllic, but we tuned it out eventually, food was delicious, guides were friendly and cooked a delicious dinner, and the sunset was dreamy. A perfect way to spend our afternoon/evening in Heraklion!”

We stopped to swim a couple of times and the views as you sail around are incredible. Lunch was pretty tasty but quite late in the day so I was quite hungry by that point- maybe take some snacks ! The booze was unlimited but I wouldn’t say free flowing. We had to keep asking for a drink/ trying to find the guy to ask but all in all a very fun day with ALOT of sun and even some dolphins!”
