Culinary relaxation tour - Our tour had to be postponed by one day due to the weather. Communication went smoothly, quickly and easily. We didn't have to rebook. The hotel pickup was super punctual in a small van, so the drive from Malia to Heraklion did not take long. Our driver was very friendly and dropped us off at the port with the crew. There we were greeted equally friendly by Spiros, our skipper and Kostas. After coffee and snacks and a detailed safety briefing, we started. The ride was entertaining and very wet. We had a good time. But there are plenty of dry places. After about an hour we arrived in Dia Beach. The water is turquoise blue and only about 4 meters deep. There was snorkeling equipment, the flamingo and two SUPs. Everyone could make their stay free and there was enough time to snorkel, swim or chill. Lunch was incredibly delicious. There were two different salads, chicken, mussels and kritharaki. Add wine, beer, water and various soft drinks. Allergy was taken care of and cooked extra. After dinner there was time to bathe again. Before the return trip we had a very delicious cake with strawberries. We arrived at the port on time and our driver was already waiting. Everything was super organized. If you want to spend a few hours on the water to relax, be pampered with great food and a friendly crew, this is the place for you. We can definitely recommend this tour. Thanks to Spiros and Kostas.

5 star day! - My husband and I were in Crete on our honeymoon and really enjoyed our trip to Dia Island! The crew was fantastic, we had more than enough time to swim and enjoy the boat, and had a delicious homemade lunch. They had great communication and we were even picked up at our resort for stress free travel. They had stand up paddle boards, floaties, and we could jump off the boat into the water. There were 20 of us on board which at first felt like it might be cramped but it worked out perfectly. What a fun time!

A perfect day! - A 5* day all around. There was a small group of us on board (9 people) so the boat did not feel crowded. The chef and the captain were great and gave clear directions we should adhere to throughout the day. The food and snacks provided throughout the day were top tier and freshly prepared. Día Island itself is beautiful. Would definitely tour with Dan Eri yatchs again!

Relaxing 5 star trip - Lovely relaxing day out visiting dia island , hosts were friendly and meal cooked onboard was exceptional. Whilst on board you can use snorkeling equipment, sup boards and floats. Highly recommend for a chilled day out Only issues we found was that a few clips were broken on the front of the boat seats at knee level...a few of us got scratched as they're quite sharp so could do with being replaced along with a lock on the toilet door which was missing

Beautiful views, relaxing and delicious food - The staff was wonderful and very accommodating. The food was made fresh on the boat with flowing drinks. It was relaxing on the deck but also fun to play in the majestic water with all the water toys. We met some cool people too which was enjoyable
