Balos Lagoon adventure. - Being on this wonderful beach with so few people was a great adventure.
George was a great guide.
I was concerned about my wife being able to climb all the stairs back to the parking lot, she just turned 80. We made it out slow, but sure. George carried her backpack.

Fantastic! - Private tour. Highly recommend. Our guide focused on our preferences. Bali’s Lagoon is spectacular, but the climb was more difficult than anticipated.

Outstanding Experience! - This was a wonderful, relaxing experience. Our guide was open to whatever we wanted to do or go. We viewed Balos beach which was very difficult to get to but well worth the effort. We then went to Falassarna beach and swam. Our guide was knowledgeable, and made us feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend this tour and the Crete Wanderer.

Balos lagoon tour - Balos was the highlight of our trip, and the day was just perfect. Our driver made sure we reached this paradise safely. There is pink sand on the beach and the water is so clear. We had a great time and we would definitely come back in the future.

Balos Beach is Beautiful! - Reaching the Balos Beach! It was tough to get there on the dirt road and then a 25 minute hike. Our driver was a little late!
