Rethymno Speedboat Tour with Swim and Snorkel
BRILLIANT!
AMAZING!!! 🤩 We arrived at Popeyes and were greeted with such a warm welcome. We were given our life jackets and then had a short van ride over to the harbour. Our guide was absolutely fantastic — so happy, kind and friendly, smiling and singing the whole time! The music was great on the trip over to the caves, which made the whole experience even more fun. It was a little choppy yesterday, so we had a slightly bumpy ride over, but honestly, it was SO much fun! We even saw a turtle in the harbour, and on our way to the caves and back we were lucky enough to see flying fish! 🐢🐟 As the tide wasn’t so high, we were able to take the boat right into the actual caves. What a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Being inside the caves on the boat was absolutely incredible. We then anchored up in a private cove where we were able to jump straight off the boat into the surprisingly warm water. It was refreshing and surreal. We had around 30 minutes to swim, and we even swam over to the beach and made a little stack of pebbles, just like others had done before us. Snorkelling equipment was provided, although we didn’t end up using it as the water was quite cloudy near the shore. The step ladder back onto the boat was a little tricky to navigate at first, but after a couple of attempts we soon got the hang of it! Overall, it was PHENOMENAL. Absolutely worth the money and then some. Honestly, one of the best days I’ve ever had and definitely a core memory for life. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! ❤️

Private RIB Boat Tour to the Secret Beach in Rethymno
Book it!
Highly recommend, if you’re thinking about it, just get it booked you won’t regret it. From the beginning of our enquiry, Kostas couldn’t have been more helpful in making sure our trip was enjoyable & a success, keeping us informed on weather to make sure the seas weren’t so choppy for ourselves & our 3 boys (14,12,8). He is friendly & knowledgeable about the Rethymnon area & other areas, & made it, in our boys words “the best boat trip ever!” I’d definitely book this over one of the larger boat trips, you will enjoy it far more. Thanks again for an enjoyable trip.
