Great snorkeling! - Adriana was a wonderful guide and we saw so many fish! We went to 3 places to snorkel- It was great. This is the second time we have done snorkeling with Omega and both times have been great. The only thing that would have improved this is if there has been better communication about the wind advisory. We ended up disembarking in Souda instead of returning to Almyrida by boat.

The Best of Crete - The trip and the instructors were amazing and so helpful. The boat ride and the water and views were beyond fabulous. Paddle boarding was the best!

Very professional, supportive trip - Omega divers really looked after us, picked up from our hotel, kitted us with wet suits and all the snorkeling equipment. The experience was great, a bit chilly as it was so early in the season but we had a lovely time and felt very safe. World definitely recommend.

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.

Great snorkeling trip. - Well arranged trip. Pickup was later due to heavy traffic, but we were kept well informed. Helpful and friendly escort and captain. Underwater was not very spectacular, but for us as the first experience with snorkeling fine. On bort we got water, a sweet snack and fruit.

Disappointing - I felt duped on this experience. The boat featured in the listing is absolutely nothing like the actual vessel. I assumed it would just be our group of 7 - maybe a couple others but, instead, what we got was an old boat with 25-30 passengers seated in row seating. There were only 2 paddle boards for the entire group and there was nothing special about the snokle locations. One of the staff asked for our email addresses to share photos - I never saw anyone taking photos nor did I receive anything. Not worth the cost. I definitely wouldn't do this excursion again.

Horrible and insulting customer service- not accommodating or polite - I have encountered several issues with this tour operator that were rude and unacceptable. First, the tour does not depart out of Chanai- they make you ride 40 minutes outside of the city and 40 back. Second- I booked a tour for 9 and the tour operator informed me they would leave not at 9 but 11. Third- I booked one day prior to the event and when I had questions regarding my concern about the timing and driving outside the city timing cons that I had the tour operator was not accommodating and was argumentative. They refused to let me cancel and were unprofessional, condescending and told me they would not cancel or return my money. They insulted me stating I should have understood their policies- of leaving outside the advertised city and departure time of two hours past the schedule time- that were not listed. When I say that I wanted to cancel again and that I did not appreciate the interaction. They referred me to talk to Viator knowing that they would not help me cancel this request. The group is not to be trusted and is very unprofessional. Do not book with them.
