Ultimate Day Cruise to Elafonisi & Kedrodasos Bays from Paleochora

This day cruise runs from Paleochora Port on the southwest coast of Crete, heading first to Elafonisi Bay and then to Kedrodasos Bay. The vessel is a modern catamaran with wide front decks, sunbeds, and shaded lounge areas. Departure is at 09:30 and the return to port is at 16:00, giving roughly 6.5 hours on the water. Guests board to welcome drinks — espresso, detox water, and teas — alongside a breakfast bowl. At Elafonisi, the catamaran anchors in calm water and guests can swim, snorkel with provided gear, or use the stand-up paddleboards. The bay is known for its shallow turquoise water and the pale-pink tint of the sand caused by crushed shells. Onboard lunch uses organic, farm-sourced ingredients and is designed by a certified nutritionist; wine, beer, and soft drinks are included throughout the day. The afternoon stop is Kedrodasos Bay, a quieter stretch of coast bordered by old juniper and cedar trees and white sand dunes. The water here is clear and good for a final snorkel before the return sail. Gentle fishing gear is also available for those who want to try it. The cruise operates daily from April through October and carries a maximum of 18 guests. Children from 2 years old are welcome; a box of toys is available on request. The tour is not suitable for pregnant women, guests prone to severe seasickness, or those with serious mobility limitations. Optional hotel transfers can be arranged separately at extra cost. All passengers must provide full name, date of birth, passport or ID number, and nationality at the time of booking to comply with port authority requirements.
