Greece · HERSONISSOS TOURS & ACTIVITIES
The good hersonissos tours & activities fill up first, especially in July and August. Below: the 10 to book early, what each includes, and how they differ.
Jet boat thrills from Hersonissos, plus snorkeling at Saint George’s Bay. Fast, safe, and family-friendly in one hour.
“It was a really nice ride, and the captain was really friendly”
Self-drive a private motorboat in Hersonissos with no license needed. Cruise coves, swim at Saint George Bay, and explore freely.
“Paid €80 for an extra 2 hours so we had 4 hours total and we only spent €40 on petrol. Fantastic, stopped off at some caves and beach and spent some time snorkelling. Got an ice box too and paid €4 for ice from just over the road. Definitely recommend it!”
Luxury sunset catamaran from Hersonissos to Saint George Bay with sushi, open bar, SUP and snorkeling, plus a postcard-level Cretan sunset.
“Our group was 2 adults, a teenager and a ten year old. We all loved the trip! It ended up being quite choppy 🌊 on the day of our trip, which I personally enjoyed. Definitely listen to the skipper when he tells you to sit up top with him if there is any chance you may feel sea sick and do it on the way back too! The sup boards had no fins which made them tricky to manoeuvre. Plenty of ’noodle’ floats and snorkeling gear. We enjoyed our swim in the sea. The crew were lovely. A good selection of drinks were available and the snacks were as expected…”
Ride ATVs through Crete’s hills to a 16th-century monastery, see Malia Palace, taste olive oil, eat a village lunch, then swim at Sisi.
“We really enjoyed this quad safari tour! Positives: Amazing way to see the island Olive oil tasting was great Traditional lunch was also very nice We got to enjoy a swim at Malia beach Safety briefing was short and sweet Quads were fun to ride Slight negatives: Communication with the activity provider could have been slight better - we had to chase them for a pick up time Pick up was late which made us a bit anxious we’d missed it! Overall would definitely recommend this tour we had a fantastic time”

“Lots of entertainment for all the family. Acrobatics we very impressive”
