For the money we paid this was an okay experience, we saw a turtle in the harbour (before we got on the boat) and this was the best sighting, although we did see 2 more as part of the trip. This tour was sold as a small up to 10 people tour but the boat had 30+easily on board so it’s quite cramped. The caves were really nice (swimming stop) as was Turtle Beach stop, we didn’t see anything else as advertised ie the bridge, there are no refreshments on board so make sure you take some along…. This is a basic tour lasting 3hrs in total but for the price paid it was ok.
Overall this is a wonderful trip. The time just flew by!! The water is blue and clear and calm, and Thanos our captain was knowledgeable and would answer any questions you had. He was also very skilled!!! We saw a turtle -beautiful and so exciting!! The swim stops were exhilarating and cooling. Pool noodles are available on request of you are a less confident swimmer. Thoroughly enjoyed by all!! The pickup driver was friendly and the vehicle air conditioned. However due to traffic the journey was somewhat chaotic!! Nothing to do with the driver though. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful excursion, although I had a problem and reported it to the guide, not resolved by the broker, The Best Zante responded promptly on WhatsApp, resolving my booking change problem. Very well-prepared staff, the captain is a real gem... 5 stars well deserved

I booked the 4 hour and 30 minute excursion for 29 via the app (installed) with pickup that included: turtle watching, an hour at Marathonisi beach, etc.! The captain was very skilled and friendly! Perfect pickup! However, we left at 12:15 and returned at 15:00. Where are the 4 hours and 30 minutes..?? What I really did not like was that it was supposed to be the best part of the excursion, which was the one-hour stop at Marathonisi beach, but... we were there for only 25 minutes. The time for a swim. Photos. And off we go! I was very disappointed.
Thank you for your feedback. We believe there may have been some confusion with another tour, as our excursion lasts 3 hours, and nowhere in our description is it advertised as a 4.5-hour trip. We always strive to provide accurate information so our guests know exactly what to expect before booking. We appreciate your comments and wish you all the best.
Amazing experience from start to finish! Everything was perfectly organized, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the boat was clean and comfortable. Seeing the Caretta Caretta turtles in their natural habitat was truly unforgettable, and the views of Zakynthos were breathtaking. We also had time to swim in crystal-clear waters, making the trip even more special. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Zakynthos. Definitely a 10/10 experience that I would happily do again! 🌊🐢⭐

The trip by boat was fun. Nice beach visited. Seen a lot of beautiful things. Only in turtles did I get bad taste in my mouth. They were hunted. Normally they could go up once every 1.5 hours. But it kept gasping because every skipper wanted to show it to his boat. Sad! Should be banned. Photo is from after we got off boat in the harbor
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the boat trip and the beautiful sights. We care deeply about the turtles and always follow the Marine Park regulations, keeping the required distance and never chasing them. Their welfare is our priority, and we appreciate you sharing your concerns.
Well organised, very friendly captain (Thanos). Did everything we wanted. Good views of turtles, couple of swims, ice cream from a floating ice cream boat 🤗. Did the trip with them 2 years ago so booked straight back with them again this year. Perfect 🤗
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the trip and that Captain Thanos helped make your experience memorable.

If you are fortunate to be in Zakynthos, we very highly recommend this turtle & island tour. Captain Thanos is very thoughtful of tourists wanting to photograph turtles, the caves, the islands and the seascape. The tour included swimming and a visit to the turtle nesting grounds. It is worth your money.

We absolutely loved the boat trip! Captain Thanos did an amazing job entertaining everyone on board and made the whole experience so much fun. We were lucky enough to spot a turtle, and we got to visit every location that was advertised. We even had an issue with our booking through Viator, but the team handled the situation exceptionally well. They resolved the problem very quickly, were highly responsive on WhatsApp, and kept us informed throughout. Moreover, they even offer transport from the hotel. Everything was exactly as promised, and we had a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!
