We had a fabulous time. The waters were a little rough, but they had total control and confidence. Once we anchored we were served an amazing lunch prepared by them and their grandmother. Definitely do this!! This is our captain

Great sailing experience
Wonderful trip to the island. Marissa and Niko were amazing to watch set sails and sail the boat. Food was very good. Only slight negatives were too many boat's in the small bay and not many fish. Suggestion: put a different color small flag near the ladder to help swimmers without glasses identify which of the several boats anchored in the bay is the one they are on.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the sailing with Marissa and Niko and the food. We also appreciate your thoughtful suggestion about the flag; it’s a helpful idea, and we’ll certainly take it into consideration. 🌊

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sailing Trip to Dia with Snorkeling, Dining & Sunset Option: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Heraklion.
How much does Sailing Trip to Dia with Snorkeling, Dining & Sunset Option cost?
+
Prices start at $86 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 Sailing Trip to Dia with Snorkeling, Dining & Sunset Option take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Sailing Trip to Dia with Snorkeling, Dining & Sunset Option worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 261 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed 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 Sailing Trip to Dia with Snorkeling, Dining & Sunset Option?
+
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 Sailing Trip to Dia with Snorkeling, Dining & Sunset Option suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sailing Trip to Dia with Snorkeling, Dining & Sunset Option?
+
Around 91 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sailing Trip to Dia with Snorkeling, Dining & Sunset Option 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.
