Take a tour in the wild nature of crete

Our trips offer you a mixed ride over dirt tracks and mountain roads, giving you plenty of time to see the nature around you. Together with one of our experienced drivers you will follow farmer paths to interesting places in Rethymno like ancient Elefterna, Arkadi monastery or the Amari Valley. On both our tours, with a maximum of ten of our +350cc quads, you will explore the greater area of Rethymno mostly off road. Not always do we escape the tarmac, for example on the Sunset Cruise we do a longer ride on tarmac, however we do our best to keep the tarmac as limited as possible.

Nature Safari

Explore the wild nature of Crete​. Our most popular morning tour takes you to the edge of the Amari Valley and offers you magnificent views over the lake Potami from high above. On our trip we do not stop at one specific site for a visit, instead, we allow for many shorter photo stops.  We will drive our quads amidst the wild nature of Rethymno and if we are lucky we should spot some griffon vultures that can often be sighted in the area we are passing through. With a wingspan of 2.6m and a body length of up to 1m, these birds are the largest to be found on Crete. From the high edge of the Prasses Gorge, we drop down in altitude towards the Potami dam for a full circuit around the lake.  Right next to the lake we will stop at a small kaffinio where you can get a refreshment and visit the toilet. Afterwards we head up to high above the lake again, to reach our trip’s highest altitude of 620m. Crossing the peak, we will then follow the other side of the mountain back to our departure point.

Sunset Safari

Drive off into the sunset!  Our second tour offers you a relaxing ride into the sunset. This is a evening safari (47Km) and ends with amazing views of the sunset over Rethymno. Via narrow roads, dirt paths and asphalt, our leader will guide you to fantastic viewpoints high above the Potami damn and Rethymno. We will stop for an appetizer and enjoy the local taste of Raki at the highest restaurant in the Rethymno area while we watch the sunset. After the snacks we will slowly make our way down to the departure point.

Things To Bring

All our quads are equipped with large storage boxes. Feel free to bring anything you like, your drone, binoculairs, extra refreshments etc   But do not forget to bring along:

"​Thoroughly enjoyed our quad safari! Our guide was amazing and so helpful, he took us to some beautiful places and the views were outstanding! Certainly can’t complain with the price, you get more than your monies worth. Thank you so much for an amazing experience!."

Chloe Bishop

"The sunset tour- amazing experience, would recommend to absolutely anyone who visits Rethymno. We were picked up by a lovely tour guide, who took us to the quads and taught us how to drive them (which was really easy!) We then drove up into the mountains and saw some incredible views as well as the sunset, throughout the trip our tour guide took plenty of photos & constantly made sure we were all happy / safe. We even stopped off at a small cafe at the top of the mountain, where you can see the whole of Rethymno and were served complimentary drinks and snacks. Would do this again 100% if we visit Rethymno in the future. Thanks “Lefty” for an incredible trip!!"

"The quad safari is definitely something you should do when you go to crete. We had so much fun, not only on the quads but also with the instructors, they made us feel very comfortable and felt like friends. They were also good guids and told a lot about the environment. We've seen big eagles and wild goats in the mountains. We think this organisation is the best to do an excursion like this. Thank you for this lifetime experience and the pictures you made!"

Cynthia Grote Beverborg

Quad Safari in Crete

Our adventure starts from our premises in Malia. After a safety briefing we start the trip heading the Minoa palace in Malia. As we pass through the palace and continue towards the village Sisi we will cross a  forest , pass through olive groves under the main road and continue up the mountains where we will have a great photo under the one of the biggest and the oldest (over than 800 years old) oak in the island. Then we continue to the village Vrahasi. The route snakes through the narrow village streets of Vrahasi and climbs steeply up towards the old Monastery of Agios Georgios Vrahasiotis.

The off-road track offers great opportunities for amazing photographs and breathtaking scenery . Every 30 minutes we will stop for photographs and a chance to change drivers. During this time, the guide will inform you about the places that you visit.

Our trip will continue through the village Latsida where the longest stop will be made for lunch in traditional tavern.

After eating and chatting, our trip is continuing to the village Neapoli where we visit Vasilakis olive factory where we have our friendly olive tour in award-winning Cretan olive press. After that our adventure will be complete but not over. We will go to village of Sisi in a beautiful beach for swimming and then we drive back to our base where our journey began.

Watersports in Crete: Jet Ski, Boat Trip to the caves, Boat for rent, Speedboat Adventure

Do you want to enjoy some exciting watersports in Crete? Our most popular watersports activities are Jet Ski, Boat Trip to the Caves and the Speedboat Adventure.

The  Boat Trip to the Caves   is an experience of a lifetime! It really is a "must do" excursion and our experienced captain will take you on an enchanting, leisurely tour, inside many different caves. The amazing caves are thousands of years old and full of some special treats; especially the incredible Lion Cave. We think these caves are one of the hidden gems of Crete because not many people (even some locals) know about them and they can only be reached by sea.

We highly recommend our Speedboat Adventure which is amazing; because the coastline of Crete is beautiful and we venture along it for 15km, (so 30km in total), visiting areas that can only be reached by boat or jet ski. The scenery is spectacular, especially when enjoyed from the comfort of the speedboat.

You can also enjoy a Private Speedboat Tour , with your own experienced captain, who will take you on your own personal excursion, along the marvellous Crete coastline. The tour will reveal some beautiful bays and beaches, that can only be reached by sea. If you wish you can also visit the caves and stop for a swim. We will organise a customised trip just for you.

Other exhilarating watersports on offer include the Banana which is great fun for all the family, as are the Crazy Sofa and the thrill seekers favourite Crazy UFO .

Canoes / Kayaks , Stand Up Paddle-Board ( SUP ) and Boat Rental are also popular watersports activities and give you another opportunity to experience the natural beauty of Crete, including the lovely clear water.

If you fancy an exciting ride on a Jet Ski , our jet skis are available for rent for 15 minute intervals. A 30 minute ride allows you to really have a blast. You drive alone, in the open water, although you must remain in sight, so within a range of about 2km. Jet ski is a favourite activity for all ages, although jet ski riders under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Our watersports offering is completed by wakeboarding and waterskiing , although you should be aware that the sea in Crete can sometimes be wild. On such days, wakeboard and waterski will not be possible. Indeed, all of our watersports activities are dependent on the weather; safety is our number one priority!

We are open every day, weather permitting, from mid April through until the first week in November. Are usual opening hours are 10.00 until 17.00.

Testimonials

Me and my 2 sons hired a 15 hp boat for 2 hours. I've hired similar boats before but this was by far the best service: we were given a thorough induction before leaving the marina and advice on where to go, including how to safely allow my two kids to swim from the boat. Gareth was an absolute gent and was concerned that my boys had a good time! Top bloke, top service and great fun - highly recommend.

Went on a Jetski Safari with my Mom, Dad and brother on Wednesday and honestly had the most magical time. The staff were so friendly, the setup was great and was well worth every penny for an experience of a lifetime.

Found Lottie water sports online and when we phoned to enquire they could not have been more helpful. Booked in for jet ski safari the next day. Mike and the rest of the crew were very friendly and informative on both the safety aspects and how the jet skis worked.

I booked for a group of 24 people and they were very helpful, providing all the necessary information right away. The day we visited, everything was well organised and everyone had a great time. I totally recommend the boat ride to the caves!

Amazing experience today ! Quite intense on the way back but as reward we saw... guess what... a dolphin !! Surfing and having fun with waves made by the boat and the jet skis. Kind and professional people. I strongly recommend.

We booked 2 jet Skis for the safari and we had so much fun, my first time driving a jet ski and after a slow start and getting used to it, I had a fabulous time. Tour takes you along the coast line and past caves. After a while you can stop and have a bit of a swim before heading back which is when we had more fun, really could use the jet skis to play about.

Tom Selleck Says He Might Lose His Ranch When 'Blue Bloods' Goes Off-Air

Lions have sex on top of safari truck full of people, wild video, roaring sex lions get busy on top of safari truck ... tourists take it all in.

A couple of lions felt the love so much that they started banging on top of a tourist safari truck ... and the people inside certainly got an eyeful and then some.

A group of tourists partaking in a South African safari were recently left stunned as 2 randy big cats made themselves at home atop their vehicle.

The male lion is seen mounting a resting female lion ... confirming their boinking session with a couple of growls. The jeep noticeably shakes from side to side as they do it ... sparking laughter and gasps from the tourists seated below.

The lions' intimacy didn't last too long ... with the lioness lying tired to the side as the king of the jungle eventually disconnected.

While the encounter may have given some tourists the ick on the spot ... it's significantly less scary than the African elephant attack from earlier this month -- which ended in a death.

No one died here ... just a couple of kitties getting laid!
