Description

Explore the exotic Balos Lagoon and the mesmerizing Gramvousa Island on board the most prestigious RIB boat in Crete. Choose between a private or shared tour, and opt to include hotel pickup and drop-off. Either begin your journey from your hotel or Kissamos Port, where you will meet your crew that will swiftly help you get on board and will offer a few safety tips and rules for the upcoming adventure. After starting the engines you will experience the thrill of speed cruising through the Cretan Sea. First you will pass by the coastline of the Gramvousa Cape offering the most stunning picturesque views. After about 30 minutes of cruising you will arrive to your first destination, the legendary Gramvousa Island. Our experienced captain will anchor the boat to the closest point possible for you to disembark but keep in mind that you might have to swim or walk a few meters inside the water in order to reach the land. You will have about 1.5-2 hours on the island so please make sure not to get carried away by the natural beauty and be back in time in accordance with the directions of the captain. After everyone is back on the boat you will then depart for the next exciting destination. If you thought Gramvousa Island is impressive as soon as you arrive in Balos Lagoon you will be stunned by the unique beauty of this heavenly place found only in this part of the world. The boat will once again anchor as close to the beach as possible and you will be able to swim or walk to the shore in the water or simply enjoy the crystal turquoise waters diving from our boat's comfortable deck. You will have about 1.5-2 hours again before departure. Finally you will depart and cruise back to the port of Kissamos feeling the cool breeze of the sea beautifully completing this memorable experience. Throughout the whole cruise you can enjoy unlimited refreshments from our open ice cooler (except while cruising at high speeds when you will be asked to be seated). We look forward to welcoming you on board for an unforgettable experience.
