This experience meets the Global Sustainable Tourism Council criteria. By choosing this experience you can protect the places you love, care for the environment and support local communities.

Why you’ll love this…
  • Choose from a morning or afternoon snorkelling cruise
  • Chance to swim off Thodorou island
  • Opportunity to spot a sunken WWII fighter aircraft
What to expect

The calm, warm waters off Chania are ideal for snorkeling. So much so that either of these options is a must-do. Choose between a morning or an afternoon of underwater exploration in the Aegean. Both trips feature a swim stop by Thodorou Island and a chance to see a sunken WWII plane.

Sailing out of Platanias, we'll head towards Thodorou Island – famed for its rare kri kri goats. Dropping anchor, there's plenty of time to sunbathe and swim here before cruising on to our next stop – the wreck of a sunken German air force plane from World War II.

This Luftwaffe fighter aircraft was shot down in 1941 during the Battle of Crete and is now one of the most fascinating dive spots in Europe. And with the choice of a morning or afternoon trip, you can take in the beauty of the unspoiled Cretan coast from two different perspectives.

    Friendly team, easy booking, and amazing experience. The one downside was smoking allowed on board, not nice with children present.

    Absolutely amazing experience! Lots of information about the island we sailed around including myths from Ancient Greece. The snorkeling stops were stunning with so many different species of fish and octopus! We also had the opportunity to see the remains of a WW2 plane! Highly recommended ??

    Boat trip was lovely. It was the perfect amount of time to keep you enjoying the trip whilst not getting bored. There is not much wildlife to see whilst snorkelling but the water was lovely just for a swim. We were told we would have an English speaking guide on board and there wasn’t, so we did not learn anything whilst on the trip! But overall, would definitely recommend, can’t go wrong with the price compared to other boat trips in the area

    Wonderful experience, saw loads of fish and the wreck was really interesting. Would definitely recommend the 4.30pm experience as there isn't a huge amount of shade on the boat and initially we were very hot! Would not like to go on the midday experience.

    We went round the island in a boat and saw special goats on the cliffs. Then we could swim for over an hour is beautiful, calm, warm, water that was teaming with fish. Then we went to the wreck for 30 minutes. It was amazing. Suitable for all swimming abilities. TUI tells everyone the wrong time. The boat actually sails at 1:00! (You need to get there by 12:45)
