    MaryFioreFiler · October 2026

    A lot of fun

    It’s was a lot fun the people who ran it were great friendly and fun. Only downside we thought there would be more off roading and honestly I was hoping the scenery would be better. Other than that really enjoyed it and had a lot of fun

    Great time, great people

    This was a very fun excursion! We were able to go around town with the guides as well as some off roading. There was probably around 30 people and they did a great job making sure everyone was fully comfortable driving the ATVs. The lunch was also great, we needed a vegetarian option and they accommodated it! I also enjoyed going into the sea, the water wasn’t too cold even though it is October. Overall, I would highly recommend it.

    A great time

    This was such a fun tour! The guides made sure everyone had a great time and were comfortable on the ATVs. We got to drive up to a sightseeing point, go through olive trees, into a cave, and through towns.

    5Hour Safari Tour in Crete(Heraklion)with Quad,Jeep,Buggy & Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Heraklion.

    How much does 5Hour Safari Tour in Crete(Heraklion)with Quad,Jeep,Buggy & Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $102 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Heraklion usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 5Hour Safari Tour in Crete(Heraklion)with Quad,Jeep,Buggy & Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Heraklion is not rushed.

    Is 5Hour Safari Tour in Crete(Heraklion)with Quad,Jeep,Buggy & Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,295 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Heraklion, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 5Hour Safari Tour in Crete(Heraklion)with Quad,Jeep,Buggy & Lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 5Hour Safari Tour in Crete(Heraklion)with Quad,Jeep,Buggy & Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 5Hour Safari Tour in Crete(Heraklion)with Quad,Jeep,Buggy & Lunch?

    +

    Around 453 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Heraklion can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Heraklion and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 5Hour Safari Tour in Crete(Heraklion)with Quad,Jeep,Buggy & Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Heraklion within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Heraklion?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Heraklion experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Knossos - Zeus Cave - Old Traditional Villages-Olive Oil Factory, Knossos & Lasithi Plateau: Zeus Cave, Villages, Olive Oil Tour, Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Heraklion?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Heraklion?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 5Hour Safari Tour in Crete(Heraklion)with Quad,Jeep,Buggy & Lunch?
