      Enjoy a scenic coastal cruise as you move towards St. George. Along the way, you'll likely encounter beautiful landscapes and perhaps even some hidden coves worth exploring.

    2. Afentis Christos

      The small island of Afentis Christos was not recorded on a map of 1618. It was created in 1650 with the eruption of the volcano of Thira, with the seismic vibrations and tidal waves. When the church was built, the island had not been formed. There was rocky land that formed a small promontory. In the area there was a barracks and a Venetian outpost.

    Super nice experience

    Definitely a recommendation to do once if you are in Crete. We were picked up at our Airbnb & our guide was very enthusiastic and friendly. During our trip on the boat trip, we were able to learn a little Greek thanks to the driver. On the boat itself, we went to two different locations where we were allowed to snorkel, swim, and explore independently. Then we had a delicious lunch and could still enjoy ourselves in the water before we went back. The guides were extremely friendly and overall it was just a super fun experience!

    Worth a trip

    What a day. Unfortunately we had some rough seas, not too bad but enough to make my daughters vomit. We stopped at 2 different places and had about 3.5 - 4 hours on the boat. There were snorkeling equipment and SUP available for free for us to use. The food came out and was ok too, the captain and crew were great, they ensured everyone had drinks at all times and were helping with advice for sea sickness. The 2nd place we stopped was at St. George's Bay and you could swim to the nearby rocks and jump in too. The boat we had could only hold about 22 people, which was about right. I don't think I'd have wanted to go on a bigger one.

    Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and Lunch 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 Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Heraklion, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and 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 Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and Lunch?

    +

    Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and 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 Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and Lunch?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Lunch; Dessert; Use of snorkeling equipment; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: TIPS. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and Lunch include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 371 listed pickup locations in and around Heraklion. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and Lunch offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Greek and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and Lunch?

    +

    Is Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and Lunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Snorkeling Boat Trip with Transfer and Lunch if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
