About this experience

There’s a place not far from Panormo Port where sheltered coves, clear waters, and stunning rocky landscapes create a peaceful escape.
This is Bali Bay, a hidden gem on Crete’s northern coast. Beneath the surface, an amazing underwater world awaits: rocky reefs, seagrass meadows, statues, and a variety of marine life. If you’re lucky while snorkeling, you might even spot a sea turtle gliding among the underwater wonders.
Our luxury catamaran offers complete comfort, with sunbeds and shaded lounges perfect for relaxing throughout the journey. Soft, uplifting music creates a joyful atmosphere as you enjoy Cretan snacks, a light brunch, and a delicious lunch — all included. Espresso, tea, water, soft drinks, and local Greek wine and beer are available anytime.
For adventure seekers, the sea becomes your playground: try SUP, snorkel among marine life, or drift on an inflatable noodle. And of course, our iconic pink flamingo is always ready for unforgettable photos.
