★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 221 reviews · from $99

Quad bike through Cretan trails, a ghost town stop, and a sea-view sunset with raki and a sweet included.

“Had an absolutely incredible time with ELA Quad Safari! Right from the beginning it was so enjoyable. Everything was very well organised and planned out. Very safe- two members of staff follow on motorbikes to ensure safety when crossing roads and off-roading around the edge of the mountains. Ghost village was brilliant and our guides gave us some great history of the village. Take you to some great spots for sunset photos. Finished off the tour with a stop off at a cafe to get some Greek Gyros! Then once we got back, we were offered a sweet and a shot of Raki. All the little touches made this tour…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 99 reviews · from $73

Guided sunset quad safari from Hersonissos/Malia with new 520cc ATVs, off-road trails, a climb to 450m, and a coast-view sunset.

“We only booked the trip the night before and soon after I got a WhatsApp message offering us the daytime safari as the weather did not look as good for the afternoon/ evening. The whole experience was brilliant - we used the buggies and had the best time. We visited a beautiful beach village, a famous cave, a monastery, climbed more of the mountains then had an olive oil factory tour and tastings. We finished with a lovely lunch in a traditional Greek taverna before getting back to base and being taken to our hotel. We even got sent photos our guide took during the day after we returned to…”

Sunrise balloon over Lassithi Plateau plus an all-inclusive sunset catamaran from Heraklion or Hersonissos with snorkeling, drinks, and sushi.

“Very enjoyable experience, definitely worth the money. Unfortunately our hot air balloon got postponed due to the weather but we actually think it worked out better to do the balloon and cruise on separate days. Staff were very friendly and attentive, lots to do on the boat and it was very well managed. Can’t recommend them enough. The balloon day was also lovely, and the breakfast afterwards up in the mountains was just beautiful.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $92

Sunset Jeep safari from Heraklion with Plaka views of Spinalonga, free time in Agios Nikolaos, and dinner included.

“This was one of the best tours I've ever had in all my travels. Alexandros was magnificent as tour guide, driver and teller of stories. He was prompt, professional and polite. He took us to an olive oil factory where he knew everyone, the small towns we visited were quaint and unique. He is a VERY skilled driver as well getting to the top of the island for an awesome sunset with music and photos. Then to top it off the dinner was magnificent, at this family-owned restaurant where the food was excellent, and the hosts were better! My wife and I could not have asked for a better excursion.”
