Details
Experience a captivating sunset aboard our private boat trip departing from Falasarna to Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa. Revel in the chance to bask in the splendor of one of Europe's most exquisite beaches, and explore the enchanting, untouched realms of nature. As this is a private trip, you can choose where, and how long you want to stop.
You will then start the trip in these turquoise and transparent waters, bordered by a long white sandy beach. After about 30 minutes of navigation, the first point of interest we will encounter is the Balos Lagoon, a nature reserve described by many as an earthly paradise. It is a lagoon formed by a tongue of sand separating it from the bay of the same name. Here, if you wish, you can stop for a swim and admire the surrounding landscape.
After resuming navigation, we can head towards Gramvousa, an archipelago composed of two small uninhabited islets with a landscape that is very rocky and wild. Here you can take the opportunity to make a second stop for swimming and diving once again in these wonderful waters. At the end of this stop, it will then be time to return to the starting point, as the sun gracefully retreats below the horizon.Highlights

My fiance and I had a wonderful experience! We booked the trip the morning of and had no issues. We were also running a little late for our departure and everyone was so nice and accommodating. Captain was great and told us some great stories and history while taking in the scenery. The different swimming areas were perfect and coming back to a cooler of drinks was the cherry on top. 100% recommend

A great ride with swimming spots, with an experienced driver. We were with three children who also loved it!
Balos was beautiful and Gramvousa was full of fish. We were able to avoid the big boats and therefore the crowds by booking the 3 p.m. slot.

We had an incredible experience on the boat tour! The scenery was stunning, with perfect stops for swimming, relaxing, and taking unforgettable photos. The absolute highlight was our captain, Zarko—super professional, friendly, and with a great sense of humor. He made us feel safe the entire time and even shared local stories and curiosities that made the tour even more special. We recommend it wholeheartedly and would definitely do it again!
