Great experience - The boat tour offers fantastic views and the swimming stops are great.
The Guide was super friendly and his explanations interesting and often funny!
The organization includes the bus ride from the Pension to the port.
However, it is difficult to find turtles. We have seen two hunted by many boats. It’s a little sad.
However, I recommend the excursion which is great!

Turtle spotting boat trip - Dennis, our boat captain, was brilliant. Very knowledgable about the turtles, and explained some of their behaviour. I couldn’t believe we actually saw turtles, 3 of them! He also made the trip great fun going through arches and caves. I can see why for most the people the stop on turtle island is the longest swimming stop, but for me I would have preferred somewhere better for snorkelling interest. The pick up from the hotel was great, we had to wait 10 mins at the end for our return drop off, but still a superb trip. Well worth the money, and exceeded my expectations of what it would be like. ❤️

Memories for life - I took my 2 boys : 5 and 7 years old for this boat trip with the glass bottom boat and it was FANTASTIC! It was such a magical experience to spot 4 turtles. We then visited the Keri caves, with a quick swimming brake and then went to Marathonisi for a snack and swimming in the crystal blue water. I have to say that having Denis as our guide and captain made this trip even greater! He was so kind and funny and extremely good with the kids on board, letting them even drive the boat 🤩 Needless to say they had the best time and were sad when the trip finished! Thank you to Denis if he will read this, he made magical memories for my boys and myself . So many choices in selecting a boat trip, I wholeheartedly reccomend this one. We will be back 🤞

A nothing less than amazing trip - Best way to see Zakynthos is most definitely by boat, and this trip was nothing less than amazing (date 14 may 2024, 9.00-12.00). Our tour guide was very kind, informative and had a great sense of humour, which we appreciated and made the trip so much more fun.
Our guide found a 70 year old turtle male at the very beginning of our trip, and he was very gentle and respectful of the turtle and made sure that it had the space it needed to feel safe. The turtle male therefore came up to breathe no less than 3-4 times, and it was an amazing sight and you can for sure understand why the people at Zakynthos treasure their amazing sea friends so much.
We were a small amount of people and that was really nice and we got to swim at the Keri caves which was stunningly beautiful and the water was amazing to swim in. I'm not sure why, but it was as if you didn't have to do much to stay floating in the water, so you could use all of your energy to just focus on the amazingly clear water and the breathtaking cliffs and caves. At last we visited turtle Island, and this was also a very beautiful spot on the tour. We would for sure highly recommend this tour!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Recommended for couples - Highly recommended for couples, we were lucky enough to have Dennis as our guide, he was very entertaining and motivated and led the boat tour in a relaxed group size, it will definitely be remembered as a great event. The pick-up location could also be adjusted on request. Very beautiful scenery is visited and it doesn't get boring, you can also buy food during a stop. It's worth the money, I would definitely do it again.

Great morning trip - Picked up on time from our hotel. Dennis was our guide who was great fun. Searched for turtles and managed to spot one. Unable to swim at caves due to strong winds but extra time on turtle beach instead. Good value, recommend.

Captain Pedro is great - Pedro was a great captain, friendly and informative. We didn't get the glass bottom boat as we booked which wasn't ideal but we got a nice speedboat to ourselves so it was still pretty special. Would recommend to all. Low price but good service

Recommended - Overall, the company delivered on what the description stated. We saw a turtle, went for a swim, spent about an hour on the beach at turtle island, and passed by Cameo island. Also went to the Keri caves which wasn't on the description. Not a group of 10, but plenty of seating on the boat so it wasn't an issue. Finding the starting point of our tour was unclear, but with the use of WhatsApp, everything worked out.
