About
Looking for a more private activity with your family, business partner or friends and get away from the crowds? Book a private boat trip and explore the amazing underwater marine life at an island nature reserve. Our boats (Seastar - Soulstar) are crewed and you can decide together with your captain where to stop for photography or snorkeling. The best way to ensure a memorable boat tour is to talk with us about your wishes and needs. Together, we will experience the perfect boat trip! Our need to share with our clients even more of our spectacular island, led us to add a new method for exploration in 2018. Our nine seater van allows us to take guests on a journey to seek out the beautiful known and unknown beaches of Southern Crete in style. Check our website for more details. Taking the adventure a bit further!!!

All in all it was a great tour and experience, everyone loved it and it’s a fantastic boat - by far the best for the price others had quoted. Given the current Covid requirements, we arrived early to see a wash down and cleanse of the boat which was as reassuring. On the day the trip out was choppy but once there, very chilled and the crew were attentive, offering drinks and suggested appropriate time as and when to move on and then catch the sunset. The kids really loved the forward bow ride back in to the port and it was a top experience. Geographically well-placed to keep it local and have a great adventurous day out

Having returned to Crete this year we thought we'd go for a private boat tour rather than the main trips from Chania Harbor. All I can say is what a LOVELY time we all had (sorry Dimitris). The boat took us out to the Island super fast where our captain Dimitris was very knowledgeable about the history of the Island and the Wildlife that lived there. He was also very charming, funny and friendly and took time engaging with the children on board. Dimitris was also very skilled in maneuvering his boat into the smallest of caves dotted around the island. We stopped for snorkeling at 2 places which was amazing and again Dimitris was so helpful in making my daughter feel at ease with this. All in all a wonderful trip and at great value €220 for two and a half hours. Lovely, Lovely, Lovely! Simon

Perfect private tour for our family. Dimitris, the captain, was a perfect host and explained a lot of things of the the island Agii Theodori. We saw beautiful wildlife in the sky as in the sea. The captain his eagle eye easily saw some camouflaged kri-kri goats and showed us were to look.
Amazing experience.
Amazing experience.

Private Van ride down to Elafonissi beach which was such a great day out from the Hotel. The driver / tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the island and knows the best place to settle on the beach. He also brings a cool box, paddle board and snorkels which was great. The prices were very reasonable and it def pays to have someone with local knowledge to get you through the mountains safe and sound without sitting on a tour bus which must be hellish due to traffic. A great day and can't recommend the driver highly enough!

We (4 adult and 4 kids ranging from 6-12) went on an evening cruise with some snokelling. The boat was in first class condition and clean. The Snorkelling equipment was also in good condition and they had sizes to fit all the children. Our skipper and guide who swam with us looking after the kids (he is a diving instructor) was very calm and reassuring.I felt they made every effort to look after is and it was really a highlight of our trip. We would definitely do it again next time we are there. Good value for money and highly recommended.

Lazaros took my family of 7 on a wonderful excursion to Elafonisi beach and we felt so lucky to have found him! He was waiting for us early at our hotel. He provided interesting information along the drive and also had snorkeling equipment, a cooler, and a paddle board for our use. He helped us secure chairs and umbrellas in a great spot, and shared specific information about the pink sand. He carried everything back and forth from the vehicle and stopped by to check on us during our time at the beach as well. His vehicle was clean and the ac worked well. He advised us to arrive as early as possible and I'm so glad we did because we were able to enjoy the beach without the crush out tourist buses and crowds. When we left at 2pm, the number of people had swelled dramatically and the parking area was absolutely insane. We had considered driving ourselves, but I'm so glad we didn't end up doing that because the drive appeared treacherous at times - thankfully, Lazaros was always in control and knew what he was doing. He brought us to a delicious local tavern with an amazing view for lunch, and that meal ended up being one of our favorites out of our entire 2 week stay in Europe! We would not hesitate to use this company again in the future. Thank you, Lazaros!

We really enjoyed our tour of Theodoroi island. We did the 2 hour tour and it was the perfect amount of time. We actually walked about a mile from Agia Marina and it wasn’t a bad walk. I always think that private tours are worth what you pay and this was no different. We learned a lot, got close to wildlife and the best part: went snorkeling. My husband and I have never snorkeled before but our guide helped us learn how to do it. It was so fun! Would definitely recommend!

We book a van tour to Elafonissi beach and this was SUPER great. Our driver was the best. He guided us all the way, had answer to all questions during the way from how to harvest olives to which birds we saw :-)
He placed us on the best sun beds on Elafonissi and supplied us with SUP, scuba masks and cooler.

Just a lovely lovely time from start to finish. From a warm welcome on arrival. Being shown the islands fauna by the most enthusiastic captain Dimitris was brilliant, Dimitris has the ability to put the boat into some of the most remarkable spots around the island and has so much knowledge and respect of the local wildlife. I felt we were in the safest hands . Just lovely really lovely

The most amazing experience, we did the 2 hour tour for 4 people at 140 euros. It was amazing, and incredibly informative. We saw the goats, kingfishers and a lion fish!! Our guide was super helpful and passionate about the area which we really enjoyed. As well as calming for the nervous snorkellers among us. He even squeezed snorkelling above the plane wreck when requested at the end of the tour. This tour is brilliant, do not miss it!! 🌊🐟🐡🐠🐬
And don’t bother doing a more commercial boat tour as we saw them and they didn’t look as good as ours😉🤣

At our snorkel spot the sea has a depth of 2-4 meters. A diver will be escorting you and if you wish we have also inflatable lifejakets at your disposal. Our snorkeling tours are safe and you don't have to be a good swimmer
