★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 941 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $107Our pick

Quad or Jeep off-road safari in Heraklion: cave and church stops, Greek lunch, and a beach swim. Pickup included.

“Prompt pickup but over an hour until we got in our vehicles and started the adventure. First part of tour thru a landscape of dumps. Very very dusty, bring a mask of some kind. Very nice people. We had a 15 minute delay for a broken down vehicle and then tour ended at 3.15 after 10 am pickup. So gone 5 hours but take out the travel time, registration, and breakdown, really only 3.5 including lunch.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 146 reviews · from $106

Jeep safari from Heraklion to Zaros Lake, Tripiti gorge descent, and Trypiti beach swim plus Cretan BBQ lunch with wine.

“Our guide was great - friendly, informative. Eight adults (with backpacks) was excruciatingly uncomfortable in one jeep. Stuffed in the back - half if us couldnt even look out the window. Beach was great but its a LONG time to be crammed into a hot jeep (no air conditioning) for a 45 min swim. Lunch was ok.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 104 reviews · from $99

A Crete quad safari with off-road views, Fodele and El Greco, and a ghost-town style village walk, plus raki and sweet.

“Loved the quad safari, did trip as 2 adults with 2 kids aged 14 and 11. They loved it. Guys running the guide were great, and were nice enough to even drop us at our hotel at the end. Take water with you, even though you stop for a drink in a village there’s a later stop and walk and you’ll need that drink. Also if you’re driving wear longer shorts or long pants, I found the steam from engine burnt my legs and was wishing I’d worn leggings as a barrier”
