About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Explorer441207801740 contributionsLoved itBrilliant fun in the sun great company they above and beyond for us very detailed descriptions, you can’t go wrong, plenty of roading, plenty of breaks for photos and coffee, also stop for dinner .Written October 4, 2024
- Lesley H0 contributionsA great day on a jeep safari in creteGood value for money, it was a great day our driver was very nice and took us to beautiful places the views are magnificent. Our driver made it very interesting with his knowledge. I would definitely recommend this trip 100% đź‘ŚWritten September 2, 2024
- Melissa K0 contributionsDimitri was great!Dimitri was fantastic! He loves his country and is proud to share so many facts and share the fruit of the land. It’s a long day but truly a great way to see parts of the country you wouldn’t probably see otherwise. Highly recommend!Written August 23, 2024
- Experience5702800 contributionsRushed day trip with lack of promised stop-offs - not relaxing at all.Super excited to go on this day trip to explore the hidden gems of Crete, but sadly didn't live up the expectations and description of itinery is not accurate. We were picked up in our hotel by a shabby mini bus lacking in seatbelts for the kids (thankfully just a small trip around the corner to the meeting point). Sadly our 'VIP' experience was shared with a German couple, which meant although we had a lovely big air-conditioned hummer, my husband and son were squashed into the back seats all day with limited leg room and aircon. In addition, the Guide had to then repeat everything in both English and German. Our guide was very knowledgeable but incredibly impatient, getting frustrated when the German couple took a while to greet the car service, and beeping his horn at the others on the journey that were self-driving. It was very unnerving how impatient he was every time someone was lagging or taking a while to park - felt like we were constantly rushing which wasn't relaxing. Because a few were taking a while to park at the lunch taverna, he even threw two families out their own cars and insisted on hurriedly parking their jeeps themselves. Unfortunately during our trip one of the self-drive jeeps broke down and due to staff shortages (explained by our guide), our guide and another had to drive back to the HQ to get a replacement car for the family. This meant we were delayed at a cafe for over 45 mins and lost about 25 mins of our tour time as a result (and it wasn't extended at the end either). We didn't stop at Prevalis beach as per the description, instead were told to walk to the viewpoint for photos but not to walk down as there was no time. Equally, I expected us to stop at the gorge waterfall (main point of booking the trip), but we didn't do this ether. We did take a longer stop off for lunch and the lamb chops included were delicious. Sadly the beach we were taken too was very windy and there was no shelter at all - so we weren't really able to enjoy the time as was too hot for the kids to be out of the shade for over an hour, and the wind was making the sharp sand whip against our skin (appreciate the windy weather can't be helped). We stopped at a lovely viewpoint of the district, which was amazing. Our guide also took the time to stop the car to pick and show us wild herbs and pears (he clearly had a passion for botany) . Overall though the trip was badly timed, affected by the broken car and then extremely rushed at the end. The promised stop at prevalis and the waterfall gorge was not included and that was my main reason for booking - so sadly I wouldn't recommend the trip. Too long in the car and rushed at stop offs.Written August 21, 2024
- Harry A0 contributionsA proper off-road adventure!Excellent day out exploring the island of Crete. Our guide Dimitris was very insightful and a great host. Our lunch spot was a lovely taverna with equally as good food. We thoroughly enjoyed the off roading aspect and would definitely take part again!Written August 12, 2024
- Lyndada570 contributionsExcellentReally excellent day out, our guide was fun and entertaining as well as knowledgeable, he was attentive of our group. Loved the morning stop and the stop where we saw vultures flying across the gorge. Lunch was lovely plenty to eat and drink for everyone. Our last stop in the afternoon had us drinking from all the fountains gor eternal youth, not sure it us working though. A really enjoyable trip in an airconconditioned 4x4Written August 3, 2024
- 463alexandras0 contributionsBest guided tour ever!!!!!!Our tour guide Demetrios was awesome! We went for the luxury tour so we did not have to drive which I highly recommend. We were in a more comfortable vehicle and got to enjoy all the sights and get so much knowledge instead of driving ourselves. Demetrios took the time to show us all of the native herbs and spices that can be found on the island. We went to two different beaches and enjoyed our lunch at one of them. This trip was definitely the highlight of our vacation and probably one of the best guided tours I've ever been on!Written May 29, 2024

- Explorer058769502960 contributionsIf you don't want to do much in your holidays, but you want to explore Crete, this is for youThe guide was amazing. We went as a German couple and the hole group was German. Everybody was very friendly. The guide speaks very well German and answered all our questions. Before we get started, he told us, who to reak if we have a problem and that's made me feel safer, because I knew, if I don't get the hill, he will get me up there. The views were amazing. We didn't see much from Crete before, but after we knew a lot about nice spots. Driving by myself was amazing. It just coud have be more Offroad than just the first 2h (about). It was a nice opportunity to see the south side and the hills between. We stayed on the north side.Written October 1, 2023
- valoriea8420 contributionsKnow Before You Go on Jeep SafariOverall this was a fun tour but there were some things I wish we'd known in advance. The jeep has a manual transmission (stick shift) and wasn't so easy to drive. The rest of the tour group was German and did not speak English -- it would have been more enjoyable to be able to converse with fellow travelers. The guide was awesome -- friendly and very knowledgeable. The lunch was adequate but nothing special. We swam at a lovely beach but there were no changing rooms -- just a little bathroom. At the other beach we had to walk up many to the viewing point -- it was a warm day and the climb was hard for me.Written September 23, 2023
- 990dannye0 contributionsAmazing island tripWe booked this as we did the same in Madeira last year. This wasn’t at the same level due to different terrain and climate but it was better on the eye. The amount of different vegetation that you see growing on the island within a small area is amazing. Our guide Dimitri was very knowledgeable and took us around in the jeep. We stopped at two different beaches either side of lunch (which was excellent). Highly recommendedWritten September 2, 2023
- MajbrittLC680 contributionsJust amazingWe had a really interesting and fun day, interesting sights, fun observations from our guides, mountains and beaches. Wonderful to see this part of Crete, so different from the hotel life on the north side of the island. đź’Ż recommend.Written August 15, 2023
- Shrivenham20100 contributionsABSOLUTELY FABULOUS DAY OUT, WORTH EVERY EURO!One of the best trips we've been on. We opted for the deluxe due to the heat, but the self drive buggies looked equally good fun. Our guide, Demetrius was superb and a font of knowledge. The area is stunny and I have some superb photos and lasting memories. A quick 10 minute drive (hotel pick up) to their base, then a day out. Definitely worth a visit. Thank you for a brilliant day out.Written August 14, 2023
- adamw6190 contributionsA must-do activity to see the island.We were a family of 6 including 2 grandparents aged over 70 and 2 young children aged 5 and 3. We had a fantastic day out in the 7 seat Hummer which was the guide vehicle for the 12 jeeps behind us. It was about 8 hours altogether but flew by. Our guide Dimitris was excellent and so knowledgeable and interesting. The stops were lovely and we got to see a lot of this beautiful island. Thanks to all the team for an excellent day.Written August 4, 2023

• Hotel pick up: when booking online the website said we couldn’t get a hotel pick up as we were too far so we were prepared to get a taxi. They ended up getting in contact to say we could get picked up. The drive didn’t take long as there weren’t many groups.
• Pre-activity contact: They were fantastic at stating in contact and answering questions.
• Face covering: you can buy a bandana from them, which they recommended. We didn’t and didn’t have any issues with dust as there’s goggles/ visors on the helmets.
• 2 person bike: Was a good idea as we got to swap over. This meant it wasn’t as tiring and we could look at the views
• Views: Fantastic scenery, there were 3 interesting stops we had.
• Food and drinks: We were given water and a sandwich, and one stop had a cafe you can buy food at.
• Roads: There was mix of proper roads, lanes, and off-track parts. This provided a nice mix.
• Tour guides: Very friendly and helpful. Made sure we had fun and were safe, especially on roads.
• Photos: could buy photos at the end, although you can get digital ones for free.

Nice new looking quad bikes. Easy to use and manoeuvre. We were a group of 6 x 50 year olds, not used to quad biking, but our guide, George, looked after us very well, and we felt safe. The tour took in roads and off road, which included hillside tracks, and a beautiful lake that we circumnavigated. Fun afternoon with a cafe stop and lovely scenery. Would recommend.

The best adventure you can have in 4 hours!
Fantastic experience with amazing landscapes and a great guide.
If a jeep tour through the wonderful countryside of Crete is too boring, or a bike tour is too slow for you... you should definitely go for the exciting Quad Safari.
Many thanks to Antonis!

Verry good Tour with exellent quads „ATV“.
varied route with many terrain routes. very dusty when it is dry but you should know that beforehand. even to cross sections of water at a reservoir. caution you can get wet. great photos were taken on the edge which can then be purchased at a fair price. I would do it again next year. great job from the guide, really impressive. thank you

Great excursion during our holiday in Rethymnon. The ATVs were all in peak condition, the instructions were clear and the guide was patient and attentive. We got to experience wildlife, terrain and great views. One guy in the group even propsed at the main viewpoint! She said yes btw. Would recommend anyone this trip. Some rugged terrain and dust, but nothing that cant be handled.

Amazing experience with Discovery Safaris! We were picked up in the morning and dropped back to our hotel afterwards (included in the price). The staff were welcoming and helpful and made the experience enjoyable. You are in a group but your encouraged to go a little faster and keep up with the rest of the group. We had 3 stops, one in a little town, one by a cafe where you can get a snack (they only take cash!) and go to the toilet and the last stop at the top of the mountain so you see amazing views. Would defiantly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Crete!

This quad bike tour was fantastic. It took a few minutes to get comfortable with the bikes but Nicolas our guide was right on hand and so accommodating and made sure that there was not stress at all. The quad bikes were really well maintained - the route was fantastic showing parts of the island that we would not otherwise have accessed - including a remote village, the reservoir and a mountain top where we had an excellent view over Rethymno and could see the circling vultures. The packed lunch was also very good - we would absolutely recommend this trip.

We did this half-day quad tour on 08-08-2024 and it was fantastic to do, the route was also well divided so that you drive over asphalt but also for a large part on dirt roads with lots of bumps and dust and also a small part through the water goes to beautiful viewpoints:)
The quads had a lot of power and went quite fast (70km/h on straight asphalt roads XD)
If you are on a quad bike with his 2nd, the quad has little trouble going up the hill.
P.s I do recommend wearing sports clothes or old clothes with shoes as you will get very dusty. And bring a bandana/mask for all the dust, and sunglasses were a must for me.
Overall great🤩

Everything about this experience was fantastic, the transfer picked us up on time in the prearranged pick up location, the safety briefing and helmet fitting, the locations they took us, the baguette supplied for lunch. Absolutely spot on, I would do this again in a heart beat. It was my first time on a quad and I felt safe and had amazing fun.
Thank you for a brilliant morning.

Bonjour,
Nous aimerions réserver une sortie en quad pour 2 personne vers le 3 mai.
Nous avons vu que vous organisiez les transports depuis les hôtels, cependant nous serons logés dans une location à l'extérieur de la ville et aimerions savoir où se trouve le point de départ de l'excursion car nous devrons nous y rendre par nous même ?
Merci de votre retour
