Amazing experience from start to finish! Everything was perfectly organized, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the boat was clean and comfortable. Seeing the Caretta Caretta turtles in their natural habitat was truly unforgettable, and the views of Zakynthos were breathtaking. We also had time to swim in crystal-clear waters, making the trip even more special. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Zakynthos. Definitely a 10/10 experience that I would happily do again! 🌊🐢⭐
The trip by boat was fun. Nice beach visited. Seen a lot of beautiful things. Only in turtles did I get bad taste in my mouth. They were hunted. Normally they could go up once every 1.5 hours. But it kept gasping because every skipper wanted to show it to his boat. Sad! Should be banned. Photo is from after we got off boat in the harbor
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the boat trip and the beautiful sights. We care deeply about the turtles and always follow the Marine Park regulations, keeping the required distance and never chasing them. Their welfare is our priority, and we appreciate you sharing your concerns.
Well organised, very friendly captain (Thanos). Did everything we wanted. Good views of turtles, couple of swims, ice cream from a floating ice cream boat 🤗. Did the trip with them 2 years ago so booked straight back with them again this year. Perfect 🤗
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the trip and that Captain Thanos helped make your experience memorable.

If you are fortunate to be in Zakynthos, we very highly recommend this turtle & island tour. Captain Thanos is very thoughtful of tourists wanting to photograph turtles, the caves, the islands and the seascape. The tour included swimming and a visit to the turtle nesting grounds. It is worth your money.

We absolutely loved the boat trip! Captain Thanos did an amazing job entertaining everyone on board and made the whole experience so much fun. We were lucky enough to spot a turtle, and we got to visit every location that was advertised. We even had an issue with our booking through Viator, but the team handled the situation exceptionally well. They resolved the problem very quickly, were highly responsive on WhatsApp, and kept us informed throughout. Moreover, they even offer transport from the hotel. Everything was exactly as promised, and we had a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

It was a boat trip with a minimal amount of turtle action. No facilities on the boat. Only option for refreshments was a bar on turtle island. Boat was decent and there was plenty of room but not what I was expecting based on the advertising.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations.As sea turtles are wild animals living in their natural habitat, sightings can vary from day to day and can never be guaranteed. Regarding refreshments, our tour description specifies the facilities available on board, and there is also an opportunity to purchase drinks and snacks during the island stop.We appreciate your comments and will continue working to ensure our advertising accurately reflects the experience we offer. Thank you for joining us, and we hope you enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Zakynthos despite your disappointment.
3 hour boat trip where we managed to see a couple of turtles (captain made sure to turn boat around so everyone could get a look.) we then went on to see the caves, a swim stop before heading to turtle island where we spent 40 mins on the beach which was lovely. Captain Thanos was great and super friendly helping my little one on and off the boat. Definitely a good little trip if you don’t want an all day boat tour.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that Captain Thanos took such great care of your family and ensured everyone saw the turtles. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation!
