Please note: We are now outside turtle season, so sightings are not guaranteed. They’re still possible, and we’ll always do our best to find them. Avoid the crowded boats and enjoy a relaxed small-group turtle tour in Zakynthos. Our comfy small boat hosts just a few guests with space to move and chat with a friendly local skipper. We explore the Marine Park; if it’s safe and respectful, you may be invited to swim near turtles. You’ll also visit hidden beaches and sea caves, with flexible stops—just ask. Our captains prioritise guest experience and marine protection. Ideal for couples, families, or solo travellers seeking a personal, authentic day on the water.

    Every year hundreds of Caretta Caretta sea turtles emigrate to the shores of Zakynthos. This tour gives you the perfect opportunity to see them swimming in their natural habitat. Our small boat does not bother or overshadow the turtles. They often swim happily by the side of the boat oblivious to the fact that we are there. This gives you peace of mind knowing that we are not disturbing them. this also allows us the perfect view and holiday photographs. Plus If your captain thinks that it is safe for you and the turtles he will allow you to jump in and swim peacefully alongside them giving you an experience that you'll never forget.

    Keri Caves

    You'll explore the large caves and coves of Keri, where you'll stop for a swim in the crystal-clear blue waters. One advantage of using a small boat is that you can actually enter the caves—something larger boats can't do. Inside, you’ll witness spectacular sunlight reflections off the deep waters, turning them bright blue. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even swim through a small connecting tunnel between the caves.

    Marathonisi

    More commonly known as 'Turtle Island.' Not only is this an important nesting beach for the sea turtles, but the island is also shaped like a giant mother turtle! You'll sail around Turtle Island discovering its small caves and hidden beaches before stopping on its main beautiful beach for sunbathing, swimming, and maybe even a treat from one of the floating bars offering cold drinks and ice cream.

    45 minutes • Admission ticket included
