You will see that Elafonisi beach will amaze you by the crystal clear waters, the pink sand and the lagoon that connects dry land to the tiny islet with the church on top of the hill. The sand dunes of the place are numerous and you may walk alongside them because they grow some very rare flowers that are protected. At Elafonisi we will provide you with SUP boards. If there is not too much wind you will be able to enjoy a relaxing day at the beach with your family or friends.

Four of us booked this excursion from the cruise port, and had a great time. Our guide was easy to meet right after exiting the cruise port, and the van was comfortable. At our driver’s suggestion, instead of visiting Elafonissi, we instead opted to visit Falassarna Beach, which was (we understand) far less crowded and where we could count on having umbrellas and lounge chairs without having to fight the summer crowds. I believe this was the right choice, and the beach we wound up with had affordable chairs (7 Euros each) and relatively inexpensive, tasty Greek food options that could be ordered from your beach chair. All in all, Falassarna was beautiful, the drive was easy, and our driver/guide was great.
Two small points that didn’t detract from our trip at all, but are worth mentioning: (1) I don’t think paddleboarding was an option, and instead we were offered snorkeling equipment. Not an issue for us because we were more interested in relaxing and swimming than paddleboarding. (2) The tour is “private” in that you aren’t taking any public transportation, but you should anticipate that another group may also be on your tour with you. Not a complaint, just an observation.

Beautiful tour. Fast and pleasant drive to Elafonisi with a stop to the St.Sofia cave. Our hists were very friendly and we had a nice time together.
You should mind that due to the restrictions related to the ecological protection of the area, the sunbeds are now a bit far from the deep water. But it is still a fantastic place to visit.

Elafonissi Beach is pretty, but the sand is not nearly as pink as advertised and there is a fairly long walk down to the beach from the parking lot. Also, SUPs are no longer available, and that was one of the main reasons we chose this excursion. Umbrellas and chairs are available. But at an additional cost. the other hand, our guide was accommodating and was willing to go out of his way. The scenery on the way to the beach was beautiful!

George was very friendly and helpful at all times, he picked us up at the hotel on time, we had booked the Balos tour, but because that day was cloudy and we told him that we wanted to go to Elafonissi, he suggested changing the route and we accepted it, always attentive to what we needed and very available. I bring drinks and snacks for the excursion. In the end we came back and he took us to a very good place to eat.

We went to Elafonisi beach and it was beautiful. Our driver, George, was very accommodating and picked us up at a close location to our Airbnb. The van was comfortable and clean. It was a great day to go to the beach. He also provided snacks and waters as well as swim goggles. At the end of our trip he offered to drive us to the airport the next morning which we agreed too. Overall the trip was good and not too expensive.

The private bus tour was a great experience for the 7 of us. Our driver was flexible, polite, and kind. He brought us food and water as well. We highly recommend this tour.

The trip was wonderful. Even thougb the weather wasn't great, George was wonderful in making sure that we made the most of the good weather and the time we we had. Also took us to a fantastic restaurant, where we had the best Cretan salad and the lamb just melted on the tongue!

I would highly recommend this excursion. I went with my husband and my daughter and it was great experience. Giorgos is very friendly. The van was spacious and comfortable. We liked it so much that we scheduled him for a second day excursion. On the second day, he brought his wife and took us to a very nice beach, left us in a nearby city to explore and then took us to a local restaurant that treated us like family. His wife even got us local tea to take back home and a local dessert for us to try. If you are visiting this area, you have to give them a call. They also have an apartment to rent, do airport transfers, and even car rentals.
