Details
Join us on our 1-hour boat trip to Lazaretta. During the trip you can enjoy the view through the glass bottom of the boat and watch the wild underwater life of Crete. You can also jump into the water and join the colourful fish during our stop at the coast of Lazaretta.
We will start our journey from the historical harbour of Chania. From there on we will drive in the direction of Lazaretta, a small, uninhabited island with a sandy beach along the west coast. We will throw our anchor when we arrive at the coast. There you will have 35 minutes to jump into and enjoy the crystal clear water. If you don't feel like swimming, you can also explore the underwater world from the boat. We will feed the fish, so you can watch the spectacle through the glass bottom of our boat.
Afterwards, we will lift the anchor and steer the boat back to Chania. On the way you can see how the underwater world changes between different spots, lean back and enjoy the ride.Highlights

Really enjoyed our trip on this boat. Friendly helpful staff. An enjoyable trip & it was fun snorkeling around the boat when they were feeding the fish. So many fish surrounding us. Would highly recommend .

A short and enjoyable boat trip. The children were thrilled to jump in the water to see the fish up close. The staff were friendly, it's a shame they only offered alcohol.
