Crossing the river where we may have some water flowing in the months April, May and again from half of September. One of the highlights is a visit of a cave.

Cool trip, great guides, guaranteed fun! - We had a wonderful time exploring Crete and its deserts and remote areas. Our wonderful tour guide, Louise, was a pleasure to be around with. We were placed in a group of exclusively French tourist, but that did not hinder Louise from taking good care of us during the excursion. I also want to note that they did call us and offered us to reschedule to be in a German group, but we did not want to wait a day longer and were fine being with the French. So noboyis placed in a group where they fell uncomfortable or they don't understand the language. We got to see a lot of beautiful things and had a a great time exploring Crete. Louise was a great tour guide and made it fun to be around. It was a pleasure having her with us. We highly recommend this trip as we had a lot of fun and got to see awesome places in good company. Kudos to the team and the organisation.

Pure fun! - We had the best time ever with Taina our guide! She made this one unforgettable.. In short: we rode 4X4 jeeps on/off road, ate some delicious Greek food and learn a bit about the history and culture of the Island. Highly recommended!

Great expirience! - Recommend to everyone who want to see real Crete, villages, try greek food and enjoy nature. Jeeps are good, you drive by yourself, road and offroad. Much better than any bus. Guide Vassilis is very good and helpfull. 😊

Great trip but - A very enjoyable day driving the jeep with some great off road sections - staff were friendly and the views were amazing. I would have liked the opportunity to have stopped a few more times- only briefly at various viewpoints to take a few pictures - but this is only a small point. Very enjoyable and a trip I would recommend

Fun experience, good organization! - The jeepsafari to the Lassithi Plateau was fun and well organized. You get picked up at your hot (or close by) and brought to the main office just outside of hersonissos. There you get an explanation about the day and the jeeps after which the group is divided over the jeeps (4 persons per jeep). You may drive the Jeep yourself which makes it more fun of course. On the main routes you drive to an oil factory which you visit. Ater that a walk through the small town before getting back into the jeeps and going off road for the first time. The off roads parts are fun but remain really accessible. I've read in another review of the same trip that it is unaafe or that you are "risking your life" but that highly exaggerated. Well depends on your own dare-level of course... Anyways, for us in general the off-road tracks where nice but not all the way. This was ide since I'm 7 months pregnant and didn't want to be shaken all over the car. But in other circumstances, it would have been a bit to "dull" in my opinion. I would have loved more adventure if I wasn't pregnant. Back to the day: after the first off road you arrive back on the main road where you so the last climb from 500 uptill 900m where the Lassithi Plateau is located. On the Plateau you visit a monastery, have a lovely lunch in a nice taverna and go for a second time off-road between the fields (so all flat). You end the day at the beach side, to reach it, the main part is on the road but there is one last (3rd) offroad strip to conquer. At the beach we had 45 minutes of free time before returning back "home" In general, the organization of the day was great. We booked a couple of days in advance in the office and there as well the staff is really friendly and not pushy (what we appreciated). They explained the different options, but didn't push is to book, we could thinks about it and return later of simply book online. The Jeep safari is one of their own trips, would definitely recommend it for the splendid views and to get to see the area a bit. 1 remark concerning the Jeep safari: (some of) the jeeps did have there best time. We were in a grey Jeep nr7 which made a lot of noise. Like things were going to fall off any moment. The rattling noises did made you feel a bit at unease, but at the same time we had a good laugh and everytime we heard them, at least we were sure we didn't loose anything yet 😅

Nice staff, good for family ride, not so good for company of friends under ~35 - The attitude from the staff I would rate with 5 stars, they were friendly, communicative and answered all the questions. But the safari itself - overall I would suggest this to people 35+ (no offence for this age group :) ). We took a car in rent one day before and saw way much more for less money, had more emotions. It could be that if we didn't take the car rent before we would be more happier with the safari ride.. I do not know if it was meant like this but we went both ways on the same road, although the map was different. If it was meant like this - I suggest the agency to change. If You think, reading the title "Jeep safari" that it will be crazy offroad - no, it will not. This is deffinitely great for just a calm, chilly ride with family. But if You go with Your friends - take a car and go, go, go!!!
