Snorkel beneath Kourtaliotiko Gorge’s waterfall near Plakias, with wetsuits, guides, fruit, transport, and a demanding stair hike.

“The waterfalls were breathtaking. It was a very strenuous hike down and back from the falls, carrying a heavy ruck sack with gear for 2 people. The activity also included climbing up and down rocks in the gorge. It was a cool trip and the guides were wonderful! I just wish we spent more time at the waterfalls and that I knew the hike down and back would take the majority of the time.”

Review of Crete’s Kourtaliotiko Gorge snorkel trip, with waterfall swims, cold spring water, stair tips, pricing, and practical advice.

“Best time ever! An experience unlike any other while in Crete. The whole dive team were professional, kind and had a great sense of humor, especially (on our tour) Rutger, Kilian and Stefan! The wetsuits are a Game Changer!!! While we saw a few other visitors to the waterfalls brave the 16 degree (C) waters, they literally were shivering so badly they could only tolerate 2-3 minutes at Best then had to retreat back to land, whereas our tour with the wetsuits swam for over 30 minutes directly into and under the waterfall, jumped off the surrounding cliffs, floated in the clear blue waters, spotting rare eels...all while our guides…”

We did- and he was right there! Lovely, kind person. I felt like he was a relative by the end of the day! The day was nothing short of magical.”

“This was a fabulous day out. Our tour guide Anastasia was fantastic, really friendly and informative, and made me feel really included in the group as a solo traveller. I only wish I could go on further tours with her as a guide! This tour included an hour in Spili, a beautiful mountain village, then time in Preveli beach which is truly the most beautiful beach I have ever seen, followed finally by time in Damnoni beach. There was plenty of time to enjoy each place and I never felt like I needed to rush anything. I would highly recommend this tour, including to other solo travellers. Note that for…”

He spent time explaining surrounding and a history to us all, and even spoke with the boys about their interests. The hike up was manageable, just enough effort to make you feel like you really deserved the incredible treat at the top! We all cooled down with the most beautiful and serene swim (plus some dive bombing 🤣). Bill brought extra water and snacks, and was the very best photographer ensuring we captured everyone's smiles. An sideline thanks to James who was on the trip with…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 11 reviews · from $107

Review of Crete's 4x4 tour to Lake Kournas, Preveli Beach, Argyroupoli Springs, and dramatic gorges, with practical tips and honest advice.

“Unfortunately, it must be mentioned that the car seats were not adequate for traveling in a "normal sitting position"; the rear seats are very low and it is impossible for tall people or, for example, customers with hip replacements to sit comfortably in the car. The tour operator should take this into account on future tours. The tour was supposed to be guided in English, but the guide spoke mainly German (the passengers were German). Otherwise, the tour was interesting, although it lasted 9.5 hours instead of 12 hours. We didn't get to visit the monasteries, but there may have been a reason for that. The nature was beautiful, the…”
