Wild Nature
Over 35 years of experience in leading people through Cretan nature
It has been over 35 years since Wild Nature was founded. The idea of its creation was born from a group of local nature guides with a strong sense of adventure and a desire to explore Cretan nature, pioneering new paths in the field of ecotourism. This led to an exciting, never-ending journey filled with unexpected discoveries and extraordinary experiences. And rightfully so, as the beauty of Cretan nature is truly inexhaustible!
The result of this decades-long activity is a selection of unique getaways – on foot, by bike, or with sea kayaks – along with original nature accommodation options, specially designed for nature enthusiasts and adventure lovers.
Over the years, tens of thousands of ecotourists have chosen Wild Nature’s programs and enjoyed the unparalleled beauty of Crete: sometimes in its mountains and deep gorges, and other times in secluded coastal areas or the heart of its enchanting countryside. These are places where nature, history, culture, and Cretan hospitality intertwine in a uniquely captivating way.
What I can say…. thank you so much for everything. The event was a huge success. I have been receiving e-mails of thanks all day. Ian and Doreen were delighted with everything and lots of the delegates have been saying it was the best company outing yet. I really appreciate how you have worked with us over the last few months to get the Olympics just as we wanted them. Thank you for everything. I look forward to working with you again in the future.
