Visite de la tortue de Zante en petit groupe Observation des tortues et île aux tortues
Description
Évitez les bateaux bondés et profitez d'une visite détendue des tortues en petit groupe à Zante. Avec seulement quelques invités à bord, il y a de l'espace pour se détendre et vivre une expérience plus personnelle avec un skipper local sympathique. Nous explorons le parc marin de Zante, où les tortues sont souvent vues à proximité du bateau. Si les conditions le permettent et que c’est sécuritaire, vous aurez peut-être même la chance de nager près d’eux. Vous visiterez également des plages cachées et des grottes marines, et grâce au bateau plus petit, nous pourrons entrer dans certaines grottes pour découvrir de près l’eau bleue superbe. Cette visite est idéale pour ceux qui recherchent un groupe plus petit, un rythme détendu et une expérience bien organisée du début à la fin, y compris les clients visitant Zante en bateau de croisière. Veuillez noter : En vertu du droit maritime grec, chaque passager - y compris les enfants et les nourrissons - doit être compté comme un siège complet. Cela nous permet de garder les groupes petits et confortables. Pour rendre l'expérience plus accessible aux familles, nous offrons des tarifs réduits pour les plus jeunes.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Chaque année, des centaines de tortues marines Caretta Caretta émigrent vers les côtes de Zante. Cette visite vous donne l'occasion idéale de les voir nager dans leur habitat naturel. Notre petit bateau ne dérange ni n'éclipse les tortues. Ils nagent souvent joyeusement à côté du bateau sans savoir que nous sommes là. Cela vous donne la tranquillité d'esprit en sachant que nous ne les dérangeons pas. cela nous permet également la vue parfaite et des photographies de vacances. Plus Si votre capitaine pense que c'est sans danger pour vous et les tortues, il vous permettra de sauter et de nager paisiblement à leurs côtés, vous offrant une expérience que vous n'oublierez jamais.
Vous explorerez les grandes grottes et criques de Keri, où vous vous arrêterez pour une baignade dans les eaux bleues cristallines. L'un des avantages d'utiliser un petit bateau est que vous pouvez réellement entrer dans les grottes - quelque chose de plus gros bateaux ne peut pas faire. À l'intérieur, vous assisterez à des reflets spectaculaires de la lumière du soleil sur les eaux profondes, les rendant bleu vif. Si vous vous sentez aventureux, vous pouvez même nager à travers un petit tunnel de liaison entre les grottes.
Plus communément appelé 'Turtle Island.' Non seulement c'est une plage de nidification importante pour les tortues marines, mais l'île a également la forme d'une tortue mère géante! Vous naviguerez autour de l'île de la Tortue en découvrant ses petites grottes et ses plages cachées avant de vous arrêter sur sa principale belle plage pour bronzer, vous baigner et peut-être même vous régaler dans l'un des bars flottants proposant des boissons fraîches et des glaces.

Ce qui est inclus
Lieux et horaires de prise en charge
Les transferts aller-retour vers l'hôtel sont inclus depuis les complexes situés dans un rayon de 6 km autour de l'aéroport de Zante (ville de Zante, Argassi, Kalamaki et Laganas). Nous nous efforçons de récupérer les hôtes directement dans leur logement; cependant, pour minimiser le temps de trajet global, un point de ramassage pratique à proximité peut parfois être organisé. Les heures de départ et de ramassage des excursions peuvent varier jusqu'à 30 minutes de part et d'autre de l'heure de départ indiquée en raison des lieux de ramassage multiples, des conditions de circulation et des exigences opérationnelles saisonnières.

Des ramassages dans les zones situées juste à l'extérieur de cette zone, comme Tsilivi, sont disponibles moyennant des frais de ramassage aller-retour de 5 € par personne. Des ramassages de toutes les autres régions de l'île sont disponibles sur demande et sous réserve de confirmation, et peuvent entraîner des frais supplémentaires selon la distance.

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.
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!

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.

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.

Oh, great. Seen several turtles and even swam with 1. Very nice captain. Doesn't overload information unless you ask for something but lets you enjoy the surroundings. You come to the most beautiful places on the edge of the cliffs and in small ‘caves’. Also snorkeled in a beautiful place. The captain also goes with the water me and shows up all sorts of things. Also nice that you are not on a boat with 50 people but maximum with 6 people. Had a nice click with the 4 Canadians who were with us. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy the surroundings and the turtles quietly and on a small scale.
Hartelijk dank voor uw fantastische review! 💙 Wat fijn om te horen dat u zo’n mooie ervaring heeft gehad en meerdere schildpadden heeft kunnen zien tijdens de tour. Het doet ons veel plezier dat u genoten heeft van de ontspannen sfeer, de prachtige snorkellocaties, de grotten en natuurlijk het gezelschap aan boord. Wij geloven dat een kleine groep het verschil maakt, zodat iedereen de kans krijgt om echt van de natuur en de omgeving te genieten zonder de drukte van de grote boten. Het is geweldig om te horen dat dit voor u zo goed heeft uitgepakt. Nogmaals bedankt voor uw vriendelijke woorden en voor het kiezen van Boat Share Greece. We hopen u in de toekomst opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen in Zakynthos! 🇬🇷🐢💙 — Ian and the Boat Share Greece team 💙
We booked the 🐢-tour starting in the morning at 09:30 and would definitely recommend. The harbour is so peaceful in the morning! Our Skipper did a fantastic job spotting turtles super quickly and showed us the most beautiful spots for snorkeling and the stunning caves! Super nice skipper and a second couple were with us, it was an experience we will never forget!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! 💙🐢 We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful morning atmosphere in the harbour and had such a memorable experience with your skipper. Spotting turtles quickly, exploring the beautiful caves, and discovering great snorkelling spots are exactly the kind of moments we hope our guests will remember long after their holiday ends. One of the things we love most about our small group tours is the relaxed and personal atmosphere on board, so it's wonderful to hear that sharing the experience with just a few other guests made the trip even more special. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing Boat Share Greece. We hope to welcome you back to Zakynthos again in the future! 🇬🇷☀️💙 — Ian and the Boat Share Greece team 💙🐢🌊
It was a wonderful experience! I got to swin with a turtle and in the keri cave’s. I would recommend going on this boat instead of going on a fully packed boat yhatvfeels like a tourist-trap
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! 💙 We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed swimming in the beautiful Keri Caves and that you had the unforgettable experience of seeing a turtle up close.
