- Turtle Spot Zakynthos - Each year, hundreds of Caretta Caretta sea turtles migrate to the shores of Zakynthos. This tour offers a wonderful chance to observe them swimming in their natural environment. Our small boat ensures that the turtles are neither disturbed nor overshadowed. They often swim joyfully alongside the boat, unaware of our presence. This provides peace of mind, knowing we are not disrupting them, and allows for perfect views and memorable holiday photos. Additionally, if the captain deems it safe for both you and the turtles, you may have the opportunity to swim peacefully alongside them, creating an unforgettable experience.
- Keri Caves - Discover the expansive caves and coves of Keri, where you can pause for a swim in the crystal-clear blue waters. A small boat offers the unique advantage of entering the caves, a feat impossible for larger vessels. Inside, you’ll witness stunning sunlight reflections off the deep waters, transforming them into a brilliant blue. For the adventurous, there’s even the option to swim through a small connecting tunnel between the caves.
- Marathonisi - Often referred to as ‘Turtle Island,’ this is not only a crucial nesting site for sea turtles but also an island shaped like a giant mother turtle! Sail around Turtle Island to explore its small caves and hidden beaches before stopping at its main beautiful beach for sunbathing, swimming, and perhaps enjoying a treat from one of the floating bars offering cold drinks and ice cream.

Great experience, they... - Great experience, they were really upfront about no turtles as end of season so not too disappointed! Had a great time on turtle beach and swimming off the boat. The whole family really enjoyed it

Turtle tour ☀️ - Our guide was excellent and have us lots of info about the turtles and the surroundings. We saw two turtles and it was a magical experience ✨🥰. The sea is not for the faint hearted though if you are easily sea sick! 😅

Fantastic tour. Definitely worth the money and so much better as you could get into the small caves in the boat - This was a fantastic boat trip. The skipper was so knowledgeable and due to the small size of the boat, he took us to some of the smallest caves which were so beautiful. He went out of his way to find turtles for us, meaning we went over our trip time by an hour. Very friendly and flexible. They picked us up and took us back to our hotel. Can’t rate this highly enough.

Highly recommended! Respect for nature, seen a lot of the island and swam in the most beautiful places! - Really a great experience! Very nice to sail almost private, but affordable. The skipper knows a lot of beautiful places around the island and there is plenty of time to have breaks for swimming / snorkeling during the trip. You really come to indescribably beautiful (and quiet!) places. We also saw a turtle! The boat is not as big as boat tours where dozens of people go on a boat, so you can also sail through many more and smaller caves.
Contact with the organization is super smooth. Have sent them a message after booking via the whatsapp number and this will be picked up very quickly. Recommended!

Price/performance was far exceeded !,,, - Were quite great hours, not overloaded with constant info and chatter. Our skipper has traded it quite great Infos where appropriate, absolutely recognized our wishes, just great and always again. We were 2 couples on board and had the feeling of an exclusive, on small boat but fully comfortable, tour.
Transfers from/to the hotel included.
Is absolutely recommended and top.

Great tour of caves. Well organised and great captain. - This was a great tour in that the organiser and captain went to lengths to help me logistically and make sure I had the best day. I didn't know though, when booking, that I was unlikely to see turtles at this time of year... the caves were inspiring though. The handling of the boat was masterful and the captain really looked after everyone....

Great day exploring south islands, excellent guide, lots of stops for swimming and snorkeling, really cared about turtle conserv - An excellent guide collected us from our hotel and took us on a wonderful trip around the southern islands and caves of Zakinthos. Lots of stops for swimming and snorkeling with the local wildlife, and swims through caves which are amazing with a mask and snorkel! Our guide really cared about turtle conservation which was awesome, where the loaded trip boats didn't. Being a small boat we also threaded the needle around the rocks and into caves which the big boats can't. I cannot recommend taking a small boat enough over the commercial options, look after the locals! We were flexible throughout our trip and could stay and swim in multiple locations. This was a perfect afternoon with a knowledgeable guide and an experience to remember - thank you so much for showing yes around, we'll be back.
