Snorkel toward an all-year waterfall in Crete’s Kourtaliotiko Gorge from Plakias, with wetsuits, gear, transport, and a stair-heavy hike.

“SO AMAZING! The hike was beautiful. You got to see a really neat church on the way down to the waterfall and hear the backstory. Also see some vultures. The waterfall was AMAZING! Cold water, but tolerable with the wetsuit. Once and a lifetime opportunity. Jelle and kilian were our guides and they were so great. Talkative, friendly. Went way over the top. Took tons of pictures of us. If you ask, they will take one! Highly recommend.”
