Snorkeling with the family (children 15 and 11 years) - We booked the 3-hour snorkel trip from our hotel. On site we were welcomed by our German speaking guide Costas. Unfortunately, the swell was too strong that day and the SUP could not take place, which was not bad. We headed for two instead of three bays that day and had a longer stay there. The water there was crystal clear and you could admire a lot of fish. Costas was very helpful and could answer any questions. It was a wonderful afternoon and we can only recommend this tour.

Family friendly - Fleaxible and welcoming. It was a bit windy but they found good spots and made it enjoyable for all. We went with kids and they liked it as well.

Excellent - This tour was great. We got to get to several stops to enjoy the water (snorkeling and SUP) and each location was great in its own way. Our captain and guide were great, both friendly and informative. The refreshments that come with the tour are bottled water and a chocolate bar or banana, to keep up your energy. All gear was provided and the water was cold, but warm enough that we didn't need full suits. The pictures they took were nice, and were a fun keepsake from the trip.

I was a bit anxious about... - I was a bit anxious about snorkelling because it was my first time. But Lizzy and the team reassured me and provided safety precautions such as floaters. I really appreciate that. We could also take breaks on the boat when we were tired too. Water, snacks and photos were provided. Thanks to the team!!

Fantastic Customer Service and Experience! - Our experience with Omega Dives was fantastic from the start. We emailed asking for more information and were sent a detailed email within the same day. When we booked, we accidentally selected the wrong date and Julia was fantastic at helping us get that fixed so we could go next day. She also helped us sort transport from and back to Chania (no extra cost but we did tip as they went out of the way for us). Once we arrived, there was a nice shady area to fill out paperwork and get fitted for your equipment. We were offered wetsuits and paddle aids but decided not to use them. Kostas and Yannis then took us down to the boat and got us on the water very quickly. We started at the first stop with SUP and got on the water there quickly too. There is no extra cost for SUP. We paddled around a bit, Kostas took some photos and then moved on. We stopped at two more points to snorkel. Kostas and Yannis were great for giving extra information about each stop, giving medical attention when someone in our group got stung by a jellyfish and generally encouraging guests to have a great time. We were offered snacks and water on board and then were taken back to the diving center for changing before being taken back to Chania. Overall a fantastic experience (jellyfish aside) and would 100% recommend. Thanks all at Omega!

Great experience - Great from start to finish. Efficient and on time pick up from the hotel and only 3 pick ups before reaching the centre. Good organisation and quick turn around to get the right equipment then down to the boat. Friendly staff zoomed us across to some beutifully clear and warm waters in their boat. Buoyancy jackets available and good tips and imstructions on how to do simple things like putting on flippers in water, clearing your mask and ensuring anti fogging. Next stop was a local beach with choice of either kayak or paddleboard- all set up, ready and waiting. Third stop was a final snorkel near to the original harbour- loads of fish to see a well as anemone in the crystal clear area that they chose. Great value experience and they even provide pictures for you afterwards if you didn't take your own! Suitable for all.

Good boat trip, beautiful scenery, clear, warm water - Good boat trip with friendly guides. Snorkeling along the rocks and into small caves was very interesting. A short swim through was a little tricky. Dive guide can show you if you’re experienced.

Amazing experience! - Lizzie was a great guide! It was great fun and they look after us the whole time in the boat and sea. They brought water, fruits and snacks for us in the boat. Very beautiful and interesting

Really enjoyable, but with a couple of opportunities to improve - The excursion was well organized and enjoyable, though the cleanliness of the vehicle transporting us from the cruise ship port to where the excursion boat was docked left a lot to be desired. We enjoyed both the snorkeling and the stand-up paddle-boarding. Would have loved to do even more snorkeling. We enjoyed using the sea scooters!
