Heraklion: Dia Catamaran Cruise Mediterranean Meal & Water Fun
Description
Join us for a semi-private morning cruise from Heraklion aboard a sleek, modern catamaran. Your adventure begins with a warm welcome from our crew. As we sail to Dia Island, relax on sunbeds, sip detox water or a protein smoothie, and enjoy a light, fresh brunch while taking in the peaceful sea views. At Dia Island, dive into fun with water toys — inflatable slide, sea scooter, water tube, kayak, and stand-up paddleboards (SUPs). Float on our pink flamingo or glide across the waves — the sea is your playground. Back on board, enjoy a healthy Cretan lunch designed by a nutritionist, made from fresh, organic local ingredients. Seasonal Mediterranean dishes include seafood, vegetarian, and simple fresh options; children’s meals are available on request. Pair your meal with Greek wine or beer. After lunch, relax on deck or swim again in the warm Cretan waters. As we sail back to Heraklion, feel refreshed, peaceful, and full of energy — the perfect end to a morning at sea.

Very good boat trip lots of activities, amazing food, and a great team on board. They were very attentive and brilliant at topping up our drinks and serving all food and giving us our instructions. Only downside is that even though they ask you to get there 20 minutes early as everybody else did, we had one small group that arrived 20 minutes later then our scheduled sailing time, which meant we were denied the extra 20 minutes out in the sea that we could’ve had and that we had all paid for. I think you are very clear that you will not wait for late passengers and I think you should honour that and respect to those who were there on time.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are very happy to hear you enjoyed the food, activities, and attentive service from our team on board. We are sorry for the delay you experienced at departure and understand your frustration regarding the reduced time at sea. We always aim to depart on time in fairness to all guests who arrive as instructed, and we appreciate you highlighting this. Your comments are very valuable and will be shared with our operations team to help improve punctuality and overall guest experience. We hope to welcome you on board again in the future.
We had an amazing time, crew was very attentive and friendly! The water was beautiful along with the boat! The food was also delish! Highly recommend !
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are really happy to hear you had such a great time on board and enjoyed the attentive crew, the beautiful sea, and the boat itself. It is also great to know you liked the food. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon.
There were so many fun activities included for all ages, from stand-up paddleboards and snorkeling to the inflatable slide. The food was also absolutely delicious, and everything was very well organised. A huge thank you to Daniel and Joanna, who went above and beyond with their communication, organisation, and genuine willingness to help. I was especially grateful after I dropped my phone into 12 metres of water. They immediately jumped into action, helped recover it, and somehow managed to get it back for me, something I’ll never forget! The only thing to keep in mind is that if you’re prone to seasickness, the ride can get a little bumpy depending on the wind conditions. Overall, an amazing experience with a fantastic crew. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much for your amazing review! 😊 We're really happy you enjoyed the activities, food, and our crew. Daniel and Joanna will be especially pleased with your kind words. We’re glad we could help with your phone too! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you on board again soon.
We had the most amazing day on this catamaran tour. The crew members were incredibly friendly, fun, and professional. They took us to some beautiful, crystal-clear swimming spots that you can't reach by land, and they provided snorkeling gear. The lunch served on board was excellent and much better than we expected. An absolute must-do activity!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had such an amazing day on board and enjoyed the swimming spots, snorkeling, and lunch. Your kind words about our crew mean a lot to us. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience soon!
What a delightful boat adventure to a magical island. Review of the slide was so much fun in the water was very refreshing! The skipper Daniel from Brazil was so entertaining and hospitable. I would highly recommend this tour for families or couples or a relaxing day on the breathtaking blue sea.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the adventure, the slide, and the refreshing swim. Daniel will be very happy to hear your kind words about his hospitality and entertainment. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on board again soon!
Daniel was great! He was a very gracious host and fun to chat with. He made the trip more relaxing and enjoyable. The weather was perfect and the time spent on the boat was just right. Gill was a fantastic captain. I highly recommend for a nice relaxing morning or afternoon trip!

It’s great to know you also appreciated Captain Gill and the perfect weather on the day. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on board again soon! ⛵☀️
Generally speaking the trip gives what they write and the water attributes for swimming were nice. Though we were heavily disappointed in the lunch. The meal looks like an airplane meal with pre-packaged food for the size of a child. The quality is very poor. For the high price of 125 pp this is not in proportion. And worst of all: we told the guide we didn't eat meat out of dietary reasons. Then he gave us pasta with meat and simply told us to push the meat aside and "just relax". We found this attitude disrespectful.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the swimming stops and the sea experience. We're very sorry to hear about your disappointment with the lunch and especially the issue with your dietary request. This is not acceptable and not the level of care we aim to provide. We will address this with our team to ensure it is handled properly in the future.
We had a wonderful time during this cruise that ended with a magnificent sunset! One of the best memories of Crete! I thank Daniel ("Dani"), the great skipper who made our time very enjoyable and who is always in a good mood and very attentive! I recommend it!
Thank you for your kind words. We're really happy you had such a great time on the cruise and enjoyed the sunset. Dani will be very pleased to hear your feedback. Hope to see you on board again in Crete!
