Zakynthos Schildkrötentour in kleiner Gruppe Schildkrötenbeobachtung & Schildkröteninsel
Beschreibung
Vermeiden Sie die überfüllten Boote und genießen Sie eine entspannte Schildkrötentour in kleiner Gruppe in Zakynthos. Mit nur wenigen Gästen an Bord gibt es Platz zum Entspannen und ein persönlicheres Erlebnis mit einem freundlichen lokalen Skipper zu genießen. Wir erkunden den Zakynthos Marine Park, wo Schildkröten oft in der Nähe des Bootes gesehen werden. Wenn es die Bedingungen zulassen und es sicher ist, haben Sie vielleicht sogar die Möglichkeit, in ihrer Nähe zu schwimmen. Sie besuchen auch versteckte Strände und Meereshöhlen, und dank des kleineren Bootes können wir einige Höhlen betreten, um das atemberaubende blaue Wasser hautnah zu erleben. Diese Tour ist ideal für diejenigen, die eine kleinere Gruppe, ein entspanntes Tempo und ein gut organisiertes Erlebnis von Anfang bis Ende suchen, einschließlich Gästen, die Zakynthos mit dem Kreuzfahrtschiff besuchen. Bitte beachten Sie: Aufgrund des griechischen Seerechts muss jeder Passagier – auch Kinder und Kleinkinder – als Vollsitz gezählt werden. So können wir Gruppen klein und komfortabel halten. Um das Erlebnis für Familien leichter zugänglich zu machen, bieten wir ermäßigte Preise für jüngere Gäste.

Reiseverlauf
Jedes Jahr wandern Hunderte von Caretta Caretta Meeresschildkröten an die Küste von Zakynthos aus. Diese Tour bietet Ihnen die perfekte Gelegenheit, sie in ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum schwimmen zu sehen. Unser kleines Boot stört oder überschattet die Schildkröten nicht. Sie schwimmen oft glücklich an der Seite des Bootes, ohne zu wissen, dass wir dort sind. Das gibt Ihnen die Gewissheit, dass wir sie nicht stören. Dies ermöglicht uns auch die perfekte Ansicht und Urlaubsfotos. Plus Wenn Ihr Kapitän denkt, dass es für Sie und die Schildkröten sicher ist, erlaubt er Ihnen, einzuspringen und friedlich an ihrer Seite zu schwimmen und Ihnen ein Erlebnis zu bieten, das Sie nie vergessen werden.
Sie erkunden die großen Höhlen und Buchten von Keri, wo Sie im kristallklaren blauen Wasser schwimmen gehen. Ein Vorteil der Verwendung eines kleinen Bootes ist, dass man tatsächlich in die Höhlen eindringen kann – etwas, was größere Boote nicht können. Im Inneren werden Sie Zeuge spektakulärer Sonnenlichtreflexionen aus dem tiefen Wasser, die sie leuchtend blau färben. Wenn Sie abenteuerlustig sind, können Sie sogar durch einen kleinen Verbindungstunnel zwischen den Höhlen schwimmen.
Besser bekannt als 'Turtle Island'. Dies ist nicht nur ein wichtiger Niststrand für die Meeresschildkröten, sondern die Insel hat auch die Form einer riesigen Mutterschildkröte! Sie segeln um Turtle Island herum und entdecken seine kleinen Höhlen und versteckten Strände, bevor Sie an seinem schönen Hauptstrand zum Sonnenbaden, Schwimmen und vielleicht sogar einem Leckerbissen von einer der schwimmenden Bars mit kalten Getränken und Eis anhalten.

The trip was fantastic. We could not fault it from beginning to end. It was worth every penny with the pick up included. The trip was exactly as described, the length was slightly longer than advertised which was fantastic. There was only 7 people on the boat including us and the tour guide. Pantelis was our guide and he was fantastic, he had lots of knowledge which added to the experience. He was so friendly and we got to see a number of sea turtles. The caves were brilliant and the guide took photos for us with the beautiful views. We couldn’t recommend this enough, everything was just fantastic and we had the most amazing time! Swimming in the most crystal like seas added to the experience! It was very intimate and a lot less crowded than other boat tours we looked at.
Fantastic communication from Ian, introduced us to our skipper Dimitri who was brilliant throughout the boat trip. Dimitri was very knowledgeable, friendly & passionate about the trip. We saw turtles & even snorkelled near them. We went with our friends so there was seven of us on our own boat. It felt like a private charter. If you want a more personal experience then I would definitely recommend this trip.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 💙 It was a pleasure welcoming you all aboard. We're delighted you enjoyed Dimitri's company—he truly loves sharing the beauty of Zakynthos with our guests. 🐢 Seeing turtles in their natural habitat and giving your group that private charter feel is exactly what we aim for. We hope to welcome you back again soon! ☀️🇬🇷 Ian & the Boat Share Greece Team
We had a really great experience and Dimitrius, our guide, was excellent. He had a great knowledge of the area and shared experiences with us. The whole trip felt like a private tour and the communication with Ian was great throughout.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🐢🌊 We're delighted you enjoyed your time with Dimitri and that his local knowledge helped make the experience so special. It means a lot to hear the tour felt like a private experience—that's exactly what we aim for with our small groups. Thank you for your kind words about our communication too. We hope to welcome you back to Zakynthos one day! Warm regards, Ian & the Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷
What a wonderful experience! We saw several turtles before travelling to Marathonisi for a swim - we didn’t buy anything from the snack boats but they looked fun, if a little pricey. Keri caves were stunning and the trip along the coast with another swimming stop in a beautiful cove finished everything off nicely. The small boat made it comfortable and peaceful and the skipper was brilliant. Absolutely worth it.!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🐢🌊 We're delighted you enjoyed spotting several turtles, swimming at Marathonisi and exploring the stunning Keri Caves. It means a lot that you appreciated our small group experience and your skipper's guidance throughout the tour. Thank you for choosing Boat Share Greece—we hope to welcome you back to Zakynthos again one day! Warm regards, Ian & the Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷
Pantelis who also turned out to be the captain of our boat picked us up at specified time at our hotel reception. This trip was probably the highlight of our holiday. Pantelis must be a turtle whisper as we got to see over 10 turtles, some floating to the surface and popping their heads up and others resting on the seabed. The swim stops were amazing, as were some of the caves our small boat managed to get into and the water colours were unreal! Pantelis was happy to take photos and videos of us swimming in the crystal clear blue water. Would definitely recommend this small boat tour where only 6 of us were on the boat. Looking forward to booking again should we return to the island next year.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🐢💙 We're absolutely delighted to hear that our tour was the highlight of your holiday. There is no better compliment we could receive! We had to smile at your comment about Pantelis being the "turtle whisperer." 😊 We honestly don't know how he does it either, but seeing over 10 turtles in a single trip made for a truly unforgettable experience. We're also so pleased you enjoyed our small group tour with only six guests on board. Keeping our groups small is exactly what Boat Share Greece is all about, allowing everyone to enjoy a more personal, relaxed experience with plenty of time to appreciate the incredible caves, crystal-clear waters and amazing wildlife. Pantelis and all of us at Boat Share Greece would be truly honoured to welcome you back to Zakynthos one day for another adventure. Warmest regards, Ian Boat Share Greece 🇬🇷 🐢
Brilliant, couldn't fault from start to finish. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Wendy! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🐢💙 We're absolutely delighted to hear you had such a brilliant experience from start to finish. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we're so pleased you enjoyed your time with Pantelis exploring the beautiful Zakynthos coastline. 🌊☀️ Thank you for taking the time to recommend us—it means the world to our small family business and will help future guests choose the right tour. We hope to welcome you back to Zakynthos again one day! 🇬🇷😊 Best wishes, Ian & the Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷
Excellent communication and a great team. There were only 5 of us on the boat, and it was worth every penny. We got some lovely photos and we were lucky to see a few turtles.
Thank you very much for your lovely review! 😊 We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your afternoon with us and that you appreciated the small group experience. Seeing turtles in their natural habitat is always a special moment, and we're so pleased you managed to capture some great photos too! 🐢📸 Thank you for choosing Boat Share Greece. We hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday and we'd love to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Ian & the Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷
Our private pickup from the AluaSoul hotel in Tragaki required an extra cash fee of €10 per person paid directly to the driver since we were outside their usual zone. We picked up one more family en route, making a comfortable total of seven passengers (including the skipper). The boat was great—featuring a back bench, a front seating/sunbathing area, and a shaded canopy. What to Bring (Top Tips) The tour operators asked us to bring our own drinks, snacks, towels, and sun cream. Crucially, you should wear your swimwear under your clothes, as there is nowhere on board to change! The Experience Within five minutes of setting off, we spotted our first turtles. Our skipper was fantastic, carefully adhering to ethical wildlife rules and finding a safe spot away from other boats for some of the group to jump in. If you get in the water, note that the turtles are much harder to spot while swimming than they are from the boat deck; those in our group were wearing goggles rather than snorkels, and those of us remaining on the boat had to keep pointing them in the right direction! Next, we explored various caves, swam off beautiful beaches, and spent about 30 minutes on Turtle Island. The island's turtle nests are all safely fenced off with wooden frames. There are also snack boats anchored there selling drinks, ice cream, and snacks (accepting both cash and card) if you run out of your own supplies. We even spotted a few more turtles back at the harbour before being driven back to our hotels. Excluding transfers, the entire trip lasted about 4 hours. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a respectful and memorable turtle-spotting tour!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and helpful review. We're delighted that you enjoyed your experience, and we're sure your insights will help many future guests know exactly what to expect from our tour. 🐢 We're especially pleased that you noticed our skipper's respectful approach to the turtles and their behaviour. We always do our best to observe them responsibly while giving our guests the best possible experience. We also had to smile when we read that you were helping point the turtles out to the guests in the water! 😊 It's lovely to hear everyone was looking out for one another and enjoying the experience together. Thank you once again for choosing Boat Share Greece. We hope you made many wonderful memories in Zakynthos and would love to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Ian & the Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷
Amazing tour with a reliable and patient captain. We saw a turtle at the very start of the tour, and even swam with it for a while! There were only 5 guests on the boat. And with the small boat, we were able to enter many blue caves along the shore, and did swimming/snorkeling in 2 or 3 of them. Snorkeling equipment and lifejackets were provided on the boat as well.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review! 🐢💙 We're absolutely delighted that you enjoyed your time with us and that you were lucky enough to spot a turtle right at the beginning of the tour – those moments are always so special! 😊 It's wonderful to hear that you appreciated the benefits of our small-group experience. Keeping our tours small allows us to explore the beautiful blue caves, enjoy more swimming and snorkelling stops, and give every guest a more personal and relaxed experience. 🌊🤿 A huge thank you as well for your kind words about our captain. We pride ourselves on creating unforgettable experiences while always treating Zakynthos' incredible marine life with the respect it deserves. 🫶🐢 We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on board the next time you're visiting our beautiful island! 🇬🇷☀️ Warm regards, Ian & the Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷🚤
The tour from start to finish was absolutely amazing. Pandelis was our captain and took great care of us. He picked us up from our hotel (which was out of the catchment) along with two other couples and took us to the harbour. The group size of six people was perfect. We started off by seeing the turtles then went onto have a tour of the island and caves. We had an island stop which allowed for a nice break to swim and chill. We then went onto explore different caves which was incredible. He was a very experienced captain, very attentive to our needs and was extremely knowledgeable. They practice the ethical tourism they preach, he always remained an appropriate distance from the turtles but still enough distance to have a great view. And they were out in plenty!! This experience blew us away and we are grateful for his expertise in making it!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We're absolutely delighted to hear you had such an amazing day with Pandelis. Your kind words about his knowledge, care and professionalism will mean a great deal to him. 💙 We're especially grateful that you noticed and appreciated our approach to turtle spotting. Respecting these incredible animals and practising responsible, ethical tourism is at the heart of everything we do. We truly believe in practising what we preach, so it means a lot to hear that this stood out during your tour. 🐢 Thank you again for choosing Boat Share Greece and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It was a pleasure to have you on board, and we hope to welcome you back to Zakynthos one day! 🇬🇷💙 — Ian and the Boat Share Greece team
