All-Inclusive Catamaran Day Cruise From Hersonissos To Dia IslandEscape the resort strip and sail to a quiet nature reserve with clear water, sheltered coves, and a full day on the sea — lunch, drinks, and water sports all included.

The catamaran departs from Hersonissos Old Port. It is easy to reach from Hersonissos centre, Stalis, Malia, and nearby resorts. Arrive 20 minutes before the 09:00 departure. If you are unsure of the exact location, include your hotel name when you book and the crew will provide directions or arrange a transfer.

Dia Island is a small, uninhabited nature reserve located north of Heraklion, visible from the Hersonissos coast on a clear day. It features sheltered coves with crystal-clear water, rocky coastlines perfect for snorkelling, and a peaceful atmosphere far removed from the busy resort beaches. The island is protected, so it remains unspoiled and uncrowded.

Everything is included: luxury catamaran, professional crew, a freshly prepared lunch with Cretan ingredients, unlimited water, soft drinks, wine, and beer. You also get snorkelling gear, stand-up paddleboards, life jackets, sunbeds, shaded lounge areas, and Wi-Fi onboard. There are no hidden costs.

No. This is a relaxed day cruise, not a party boat. The atmosphere is calm and unhurried — designed for guests who want to escape the resort strip and enjoy a quieter day on the water. Small group sizes (max 20 guests) keep things comfortable and personal. Music is kept at a pleasant background level so you can enjoy conversation and the natural surroundings.

Yes. The day cruise is well suited for families. Children enjoy the swimming, snorkelling, and paddleboarding, and the catamaran has shaded areas for younger kids to rest. Life jackets are provided for all ages, and the crew is experienced with families on board. The 6.5-hour duration fits well into a family holiday schedule. Mention children's ages when booking so the crew can prepare.

Free cancellation is available up to 48 hours before departure — no questions asked, no fees. Rescheduling to a different date is available with at least 72 hours notice, subject to availability. Contact DanEri directly if you need to cancel or reschedule and they will process your request immediately.

Bring a towel, sunscreen (SPF 50+ recommended), a hat, and swimwear. Wear comfortable clothing you do not mind getting wet. Bring your ID for port check-in. Snorkelling gear, paddleboards, life jackets, sunbeds, and all food and drinks are provided on board. A dry bag for phones and valuables is a good idea if you plan to snorkel.
