Crete Boat Trip and Guided Diving with Pick-up Service

Overview

Set off on a boat trip through the crystal-clear waters of Crete to explore coves and observe local marine life. The activity combines panoramic sailing with snorkelling sessions, including a visit to the Blue Cave. The experience is led by a professional captain and a diving instructor. Snorkelling equipment is provided, and participants receive a freediving certification. A light snack and water are included during the trip. Two options are available: a classic 3-hour snorkelling and boat trip, and an option including the use of underwater scooters for snorkelling. Pick-up service is included for both options. For cruise ship passengers, a specific welcome is organised at Souda Port, at the entrance gate near security and the bus station, with identified shuttles.
