5.00Well organised and friendly, this is run by Dali Tours and Nautilus. We saw a turtle as promised, the swim stops are in great spots and you get close to the natural arches and caves.

4.00Great experience. Good scheduling, transport good, the guide was comunicative, gave us a lot of info about the turtles. Everything went well until the ride back when almost ruined everything. We chose not to activate the pick-up option and drive to their HQ in Zakynthos town. When we returned, even if has passed through Zakynthos didn't went to the HQ to drop us (with a 5 years kid) and 1 other person, it went pass Zakynthos abd drove an additional approx 30minutes to return in Zakynthos. When i asked the response was that the persons that were left of stayed in total more than us in the car and needed to balance the time spent in the car... Totally out of my logic. I chose to drive to the pick-up point, the others chose to be picked up... Very ugly and completely unnecessary ending. Very disappointed about this. My 4 stars ar going to the rest of the activities.
Nice trip but not quite top

3.00Dangers along the turtle. Here we stayed too long to take pictures. We felt this was not okay for animal welfare. The trip at sea to the Keri caves was very nice and swimming at the caves was a beautiful experience. Turtle island is a sandy beach where we stopped to swim. Here were several food boats so the swimming was not really relaxed. But in terms of food and drinks, good life. We would have liked it better if there had been some chairs. Further boat trip was fine

4.00Great trip and saw lots of the island coast line and turtles. Would have liked to see more of the natures including birds and not stop multiple times to swim. Once is enough near the caves. George who collected us was super helpful and very welcoming plus the captain of the boat and his son.
