Small Boat, Big Experience: Safety First & Worth It!

5.00This was a fantastic, intimate experience thanks to the small boat size and limited group. It's a great choice for families! An important heads-up: safety is a priority, which we appreciated. If there are big waves, you may not enter all the caves or go all the way to the back. This is for your safety, so be aware before booking. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly puts safety first. As a bonus, he was a superb spotter and even managed to find us a turtle, which was amazing for the low season! Highly recommend.
Beautiful with deep views into the caves

5.00Nice ride along the steeply towering cliffs, with interesting points. Have entered the caves several times as far as the captain's boat allowed. Turning in the cave was, of course, mandatory for our captain. Since there are probably no turtles to see at this time of year, our trip was unfortunately shortened a bit. But all in all, this venture is really recommended.
Perfect Day in Zakynthos

No turtle - false advertising

4.00I booked this experience because it screamed “turtles” just like everything else is around Zakynthos. Only when we arrived at the dock did they say it’s unlikely we’ll see a turtle “due to the weather”. I asked when the weather is right for turtle spotting, and they said “only in June”. If I had known this I would NOT have booked this for September! This should be advertised this way (“turtle spotting June only”). Nonetheless we made the most of it and enjoyed the caves and blue water.
Probably the best private...

5.00Probably the best private boat tour in zakynthos! We had so much fun, amazed by beautiful water color, and witnessed incredible caves that we will never forget! Our skipper was professional (many years of experience!) and he was extremely funny! He took us to so many private areas where we can swim in peace, and he took so many good pictures of us! I’m so glad my husband and I booked calypso boat tour
