“Marina kept in touch to keep us updated with the pick up time for our flight. We were transported to the flight sight where the pilot was very kind and informative. The flight itself was a sight - an amazing experience. We were transported to a small tavern for breakfast after and then taken back to our pick up site.”

2.Heraklion: Sunrise Balloon Flight & Sunset Catamaran Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 45 reviews · 8 - 9 hours · from $353Top rated

Sunrise balloon over Crete’s Lassithi Plateau plus an all-inclusive sunset catamaran with snorkeling, sushi, and unlimited drinks from Heraklion.

“Great day with great guides. My group and I (4 people) shared the experience with a lovely couple which wasn’t a problem. It was a new experience which we all enjoyed together. My only critique is, I wish we could’ve gone higher. I also wish we knew the appropriate clothes to bring prior to the pick up information being sent, 24 hrs prior. We required a jacket and closed toes shoes which some of us hadn’t packed. The drive to the mountains gets cold however the hot air ballon itself is hot due to the flames. I wish that was clearer.”
