Private Boat Trip from Kissamos to Gramvousa Island & Balos Lagoon with Snorkeling

About the Activity

What to Expect

Immerse yourself in the beauty of northwestern Crete and spend hours of fun and relaxation with your loved ones during our private boat trip from Kissamos. Accompanied by one of our experienced skippers, you will have the unique opportunity to explore this stunning area at your own pace and create unforgettable memories.

After starting our adventure in the port of Kissamos, we will glide along the spectacular coastline offering incomparable views to the island of Gramvousa as our first highlight. On the “island of pirates”, you will be able to discover its hidden gems, such as the popular Gramvousa Fortress built by the Venetian in the 16th century or the Ternasas Cave, an ancient shipyard. Do not forget to visit its charming beach, where you can swim in the crystal clear sea or enjoy some delicious snacks before we continue our adventure to the Balos Lagoon.

Outside the Balos Lagoon, you will have the chance to explore its turquoise waters by swimming or using our snorkeling equipment. Inside this popular natural landmark, you can marvel at the stunning views of the vibrant waters combined with white sand glistening under the Cretan sun. After our adventure, we will return you to our meeting point in Kissamos.
