- angeladY5833MK0 contributionsKeep safariGreat Jeep safari last week with Nektarius. Excellent driver and informative guide. Worth the money. Many thanks AngelaWritten 26 October 2024
- jodiepass0 contributionsA really fun experience!The people who run this tour were very thorough with their safety checks which is reassuring. They were also very friendly, entertaining and helpful. After the initial checks (drivers licenses for the on-road part of the tour are required) and briefing we were given a hair net to go under our helmets for sanitation purposes then we were told which number quad bike we were allocated. They gave us all very clear instructions on how to safely start-up and shut off the bikes as well as the basic handling of the bikes. One by one they watched us start up the bike and got us to drive on a small circular track slowly then at speed to ensure we could safely navigate the bikes. They then lined us up ready to depart, putting those without quad experience at the front of the line so the leader could keep a closer eye on them. The first hour starts us off nice and easy with some on road driving followed by a taster track or two to assess how well we handle the bikes going over rocky terrain. If they have any concerns about your driving they will confiscate your bike immediately and put you on the back with someone else or on the leaders bike. Unfortunately this happened to me. I was told to drive faster once we off roaded so the leader could keep an eye on us. I explained that I'd slowed down just initially so I could get to grips with handling the bike as it bounced over rocks and drifted a bit. He was having none of this, perhaps because they are on a tight schedule. I attempted to go faster to keep up but as a result I veered into a hedge and was made to abandon my quad without a second chance. I still had a fun time riding on my partner's bike but do wish I'd gotten a proper chance to get the hang of it. The quad bikes were in good working order and went at a good speed. The olive oil mill, village shop and cafe as well as olive oil factory talk were very interesting and informative and all in all it was a great way to see the local landscape whilst having fun. We even got a shot of raki/orange juice at the end of the tour which I thought was a nice touch.Written 20 October 2024
- F6595NIandim0 contributions1000/10 experience with Michalis!The Jeep tour was AWESOME! Michalis, our tour guide was the best - he was so knowledgeable, energetic, kind, and fun! Best excursion we did on Crete. Thank you Michalis!Written 10 October 2024
- B876WPsophiep0 contributionsA wonderful tour while pregnantOur tour guide was very friendly and great at taking photos. I am pregnant and he took that into account making sure I was okay along the way when things got bumpier! The food for lunch is plenty and really lovely! I packed back up snacks but didn’t need them. We saw vultures, swam at a beautiful beach and drove on some remote roads. I’d say good value for money and definitely worth doing considering how busy Chania is! This was completely different. I am 22 weeks pregnant, obviously check if you are further along if this is safe because it is bumpy even with driving carefully!Written 9 October 2024
- V2054HLjasminec0 contributionsHighly recommendJust amazing highly recommend !! The staff are all lovely and make it a really fun experience. The tour of the olive factory’s gives you a bit of a break as well and is really educational and we even got to try some of the olive oil which was delicious. Thank you !!Written 7 October 2024
- 862antheay0 contributionsGreat experienceGreat trip with lots to see. Lovely views while up in the mountains where we saw the vultures, they were huge. The church we visited was special. Would definitely recommend going. Please be mindful that there is a lot of jumping in and out of the vehicle which is quite high, so not ideal for people with limited mobility or large in size.Written 4 October 2024
- Dinnerwithdad0 contributionsExcellent value for moneyThe scenery was stunning and the itinerary was great. Nothing felt rushed. We had a great driver called Michalis who was a great laugh and very knowledgeable he made the trip much more memorable. So glad I chose this trip and this company. Great value for money and highly recommend going on this one day Jeep safari!Written 1 October 2024
- ebsb970 contributionsSoooo glad we did this!Amazing experience- we loved every minute from start to finish. Excellent team work well together to keep you safe. Good mix of terrain, stunning views up in the mountains. Good stop off points for views and olive oil history and manufacturing. Well worth it - really good funWritten 30 September 2024
- Paradise674343130540 contributionsGreat Experience Off-RoadWhat a great experience. Nektarios simply led this tour incredibly well. Our group laughed a lot and had fun. Nektarios explained a lot to us, made lots of stops so we could take photos, played great music and turned us around with the seats in the jeep so that it was fair for everyone with the view. He took our cameras, took photos of us or shot out of the window if you didn't have a good view yourself. We saw a lot, tasted a lot and got to know an incredible number of beautiful places. Thank you very much for this great tour and experience. Kind regards from Nicole and LindaWritten 29 September 2024
- Ian W0 contributionsExcellent day out on Jeep SafariBrilliant day out off ship with Michał’s as our Tour Safety Guide and driver. Very knowledgeable and a naturally funny guy. Looked after everyone and took photos of couples etc. We all enjoyed our drive out of the mountains and roads back to port with some great music, laughs, bubble guns bubbles everywhere. Great fun and I’m in my sixties Will do again the next time in CreteWritten 26 September 2024
- 936elizae0 contributionsOur experience with Georgioupolis SafariWe had an amazing time! Our guide Nektanos gave us a lot of information about the history, nature and way pf life on the eiland. I would really recommend this trip if you would like to learn about the way of life on the eiland. We did have an amazing time and will never forget this safari to the mountains, nature and small villages. Again our guide was the best!Written 21 September 2024
- Scenic491969082610 contributionsOur driver *Michalis*made our trip unforgettable and we thank him🙏🏻I recommend it, excellent choice in the surrounding area of Georgioupolis. The most *economical* the most beautiful but also the most difficult Safari in Crete. The passage from the north to the south takes your breath away.l 🏛️🌅⛰️Written 20 September 2024

- Wanderer302786392490 contributionsAmazing quad safariWe had an incredible time on the quad safari! The instructors were amazing – super friendly, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. They made sure to share lots of useful tips, and their laid-back attitude put us at ease right away. The experience started with a ride on the road to help us get comfortable with the quads. Then, we moved on to off-road terrain and gradually tackled a hill, which was a perfect progression in difficulty. It started off easy and got more challenging at a nice, steady pace, but it was absolutely beginner-friendly. At no point did we feel rushed or uncomfortable – the instructors made sure of that! Along the way, we stopped in a charming small village with a traditional café, which was such a lovely touch. We even got a tour of an old (but no longer functioning) olive oil factory, followed by a visit to a new, modern factory where we got to taste their olives and olive oil. Both tours were interesting, and the people at the factory were as friendly and funny as our guides. As an added bonus, they provide pictures and videos of the experience for free, which was a great surprise! If you're looking for a fun, beginner-friendly adventure with a great group of people, I highly recommend this quad safari. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip!Written 12 September 2024

If you do nothing else in Crete, do this!! So much fun. We had the captain in our boat (other than when he took the others into the caves, miraculously leapt from boat to boat despite the swell) and he shared great knowledge of the area. Swimming in the crystal clear waters in the cove as the sun set was magical. Great value too!

Brilliant trip, our guide Makis was first class. Family with a teen and 20year old. They loved it the boat was good and the ride out and back brilliant. My son loved getting to captain his own boat and the landscape and sea didn’t disappoint. Makis was fab pointing out interesting things and the break for a swim was glorious. This is a must do if in or near Georgioupolis. Something the whole family will enjoy. LOVED IT ❤️

We booked our boat safari through Tripadvisor easily and was contacted by the operator immediately to arrange collection from our hotel the next day. My wife, 2 boys and I was collected on time and transported to the harbour. After a quick lesson we took our own boat in convoy out to sea. We stapled to swim and snorkel which was fantastic. Great sight seeing in caves and thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Highly recommended A+
