What To Expect
Turtle Spot Zakynthos
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.

5.00Our 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! 😅
Exceptional experience !

5.00The duration is vague due to cooperation of wild life and conditions of weather and water (Up to the captain’s discretion). Our captain was terrific and took full advantage of best opportunities. Just don’t plan to be back in a rush to something else. I was very glad to have brought my own snorkel and mask. This a a super way to see the best of the area. Small boats can get into smaller caves - more options! Getting back on the boat after a swim is somewhat challenging but the captain was extremely attentive and thoughtful of my 70 year old limitations.
Great going on a smaller...

5.00I went on this trip by myself. I was a little apprehensive but I didn’t need to be. I was collected by Padalice (I hope thats how you spell his name). He was a great guide and took great care of the 7 of us on the trip. I wanted to do this trip on a small boat and this was the perfect way to do it. Honestly I would have been happy to leave out the visit to turtle bay but that was because it was a stoney beach! If I had taken beach shoes it would have been fine. Otherwise everything was wonderful. Seeing turtles was a big tick ✔️ seeing the scenery around the coast was amazing but my favourite bit was the swimming off the boat in a cave and the beautiful clear water. If you like small groups then this is definitely worth the cost.
