Join a private Hidden Caves & Beaches Boat Tour from Marina Rodias in Pantanassa and explore the coastline west of Heraklion, Crete by motor yacht. This 3 hour cruise is designed for travellers who want a short, private sea escape with hidden caves, secluded beaches and untouched coastal scenery.
Your skipper takes you along the west Heraklion coastline, choosing the best route based on sea conditions. You can swim, snorkel, use the stand-up paddleboards or relax onboard while the boat moves between hidden caves, quiet beaches and beautiful bays. The route stays close to the coast, so you spend less time crossing open sea and more time enjoying swim stops and coastal views.
The cruise takes place aboard the Navan S30 “Riviera”, a private, fully equipped motor yacht departing from Marina Rodias. Drinks, Cretan wine, beer, iced tea, bottled water, soft drinks, cold-cuts and cheese platter, snorkelling equipment, stand-up paddleboards, fuel and all fees are included.
This Boat Tour in Heraklion, Crete is ideal for couples, families or friends who want a private cruise without going all the way to Dia Island. Departure times are available at 09:30, 12:30 and 17:30, so you can choose a morning, midday or late afternoon trip.
