Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island Private Boat Trip

I’m glad we booked a private tour. Ride was choppy due to weatger but our guide/driver was excellent. He gave us enough time between stops to enjoy the water. We also got there before everyone else arrived so got to take photos without the crowd. Highly recommend the trip/tour.

Our captain was very very knowledgable, considerate and friendly. He took us to some very interesting areas in the water, had snacks and drinks for us and was very safe.

Yanis was an amazing guide who went above and beyond! The beaches were beautiful and the food was delicious! Great trip for families and we would absolutely go again!!

Our private boat trip with Chania Sea Experience was the highlight of our week in Crete. From the moment we booked, Konstantinos was incredibly responsive and helped tailor the perfect full-day itinerary for our family, including Balos, Gramvousa, and a secluded swimming spot accessible only by boat. What impressed us most was the attention to detail. One of my children has a life-threatening food allergy, and Konstantinos went out of his way to ensure our barbecue lunch was completely safe. We even enjoyed it in a private shaded area away from the crowds on Gramvousa, which made the experience especially memorable. The captain was equally wonderful. Our children (ages 13 and 9) were initially nervous about being on the boat, but he quickly put them at ease. By the end of the day, my son was confidently taking the wheel under his guidance. Professional, thoughtful, and genuinely customer-focused, the team created an unforgettable day for our family. I wholeheartedly recommend Chania Sea Experience to anyone looking for a truly special day on the water in Crete.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful this experience was. Our skipper, Alex, spoke perfect English and was incredibly kind and helpful. We arrived at Balos beach and gramvousa before the big crowds and that made all the difference. The food and beverages were delicious and the boat was clean and spacious. The perfect day!
