Tour delle Tartarughe di Zante Avvistamento delle Tartarughe per Piccoli Gruppi e Turtle Island
Descrizione
Evita le barche affollate e goditi un rilassante tour delle tartarughe in piccoli gruppi a Zante. Con pochi ospiti a bordo, c'è spazio per rilassarsi e godersi un'esperienza più personale con un amichevole skipper locale. Esploriamo il Parco Marino di Zante, dove spesso si vedono le tartarughe vicino alla barca. Se le condizioni lo consentono e se è sicuro, potresti anche avere la possibilità di nuotare vicino a loro. Visiterai anche spiagge nascoste e grotte marine, e grazie alla barca più piccola, possiamo entrare in alcune grotte per sperimentare da vicino la splendida acqua blu. Questo tour è ideale per coloro che cercano un gruppo più piccolo, un ritmo rilassato e un'esperienza ben organizzata dall'inizio alla fine, compresi gli ospiti che visitano Zante in nave da crociera. Nota: A causa della legge marittima greca, ogni passeggero — compresi bambini e neonati — deve essere conteggiato come un posto a sedere pieno. Questo ci permette di mantenere i gruppi piccoli e confortevoli. Per rendere l'esperienza più accessibile alle famiglie, offriamo tariffe ridotte per gli ospiti più piccoli.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Ogni anno centinaia di tartarughe marine Caretta Caretta emigrano verso le coste di Zante. Questo tour ti offre l'opportunità perfetta per vederli nuotare nel loro habitat naturale. La nostra piccola barca non infastidisce né oscura le tartarughe. Spesso nuotano felici al fianco della barca ignari del fatto che siamo lì. Questo ti dà la tranquillità di sapere che non li stiamo disturbando. questo ci permette anche la vista perfetta e le fotografie delle vacanze. Inoltre, se il tuo capitano pensa che sia sicuro per te e le tartarughe ti permetterà di saltare e nuotare tranquillamente al loro fianco regalandoti un'esperienza che non dimenticherai mai.
Esplorerai le grandi grotte e calette di Keri, dove ti fermerai per una nuotata nelle acque blu cristalline. Uno dei vantaggi di usare una piccola barca è che si può effettivamente entrare nelle grotte - qualcosa che le barche più grandi non possono fare. All'interno, assisterete a spettacolari riflessi solari dalle acque profonde, che li rendono blu brillante. Se ti senti avventuroso, puoi anche nuotare attraverso un piccolo tunnel di collegamento tra le grotte.
Più comunemente conosciuta come 'Turtle Island'. Non solo questa è un'importante spiaggia di nidificazione per le tartarughe marine, ma l'isola ha anche la forma di una gigantesca tartaruga madre! Navigherai intorno a Turtle Island scoprendo le sue piccole grotte e spiagge nascoste prima di fermarti sulla sua bellissima spiaggia principale per prendere il sole, nuotare e forse anche una delizia da uno dei bar galleggianti che offrono bevande fredde e gelati.

This was an amazing tour. It was a small group of six plus our captain. The boat was comfortable and clean. We saw a turtle on our first stop. That was awesome. We were then taken to a beach for 1/2 hr. The beach was very rocky and hard on the feet to walk. I recommend you bring swim shoes to save your feet. Our second stop was the caves. We were allowed 40 mins to swim and some jumped from the cliffs. The captain showed off his amazing boating skills when he took us into some caverns. The captain was a great guy who told great stories and took our picture a few times. The tour was worth every penny. Ian communicated great on the morning of the tour to ensure we were meeting at the right spot. I will definitely recommend this tour to family and friends. Thanks Ian for a wonderful time!!

We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the small-group experience and felt the tour was worth every penny. Keeping our groups small is very important to us, as it allows the day to feel more relaxed, personal and enjoyable. Seeing a turtle so early in the tour must have been a fantastic start 🐢 We’re also really pleased you enjoyed the swimming stops, caves and the captain’s company and boating skills. Thank you as well for mentioning the communication before the tour. We always try to make the whole experience as smooth as possible from the moment you book. And thank you for the useful tip about swim shoes too — that will definitely help future guests.

We hope to welcome you back to Zakynthos again one day! 🌊☀️ Ian & The Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷
The experience was excellent from pick up to drop off. Our boat guide Dennis was really great and was very knowledgeable about the local area and best photo and swimming spots. Couldn’t have asked for a better day out.

An exceptional boat trip with Captain Thomas. Everything started out great with Debbie, who picked us up at our hotel right on time and warmly drove us to the departure beach. Once on the boat, the Captain took us on a 3-hour journey to discover the beauty of the Zakynthos coast, featuring turtles, swimming, and sunshine. The "small boat" format is truly ideal to fully enjoy this experience while being guided by a professional. It is a program perfectly suited for groups of 5 to 6 people with children. You can really feel Thomas's genuine commitment to keeping the area clean and respecting the local wildlife. Don't hesitate for a second—this is the exact getaway you need for this experience. A big thank you to Debbie for her valuable tips on how to enjoy our stay in Zakynthos even more. Aymeric and Letizia.

Yesterday we did a tour here. During the tour we went to several beautiful places and saw turtles. Guide told us about the island in a nice way and we could snorkel beautifully. Definitely recommended!

Very nice afternoon where you come to beautiful places, which are sometimes not accessible to the larger boats. Highly recommended if you want to see the most beautiful places in a small group, where you will of course also spot turtles!

All good saw a few turtles which was the whole point.It was evident that some small boats got too close to them but our captain was keeping his distance which we thought was good.Theyoung guys on the group enjoyed jumping from a very large rock at one swim stop and on the island stop you can do a bit of snorkeling but bring water shoes as its rocky near shore when you step of the boat.All in all a good few hours out or the hotel, pick up went to plan though roads are 'narrow' in parts but all part of the experience
include the name please Thank you very much for your detailed review, Tommy ⭐️ We’re delighted you enjoyed seeing the turtles, the swimming stops and the beautiful coastline.

The trip was brilliant from start to finish. Our guide was perfect, his knowledge was excellent and he was so proficient with both his driving of the boat and the transfer - he even helped rescue another boat that was in distress. We saw turtles, the beautiful beaches and caves and had such good fun. An experience we will always remember.
Thank you so much for your amazing 5-star review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’re thrilled you had such a fantastic experience from start to finish. 🐢💙 It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed seeing the turtles, exploring the beautiful beaches and caves, and making memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for choosing Boat Share Greece, and we hope to welcome you back to Zakynthos again one day! ☀️🇬🇷⛵ Ian & The Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷
The tour (they are all pretty much the same) itself is quite nice, especially along the coast, rocks, caves, etc. But anchoring at Turtle Island is really bad! Loud, dirty, no infrastructure (trash cans, which you can also see, or restrooms are not available). That should be strictly forbidden, it is simply terrible! I felt really sorry for the turtles, I have no idea what it is like when the little ones hatch 🤦🏼♀️
Thank you for your review. However, we must make an important distinction between our tour and your personal opinion of Turtle Island. Our captains follow all National Marine Park regulations and are consistently praised for treating the turtles and local wildlife with care and respect. There are hundreds of previous reviews confirming this, so it is disappointing to see our business rated down for conditions on an island that we do not own, manage or control. Turtle Island is a protected nesting area. Permanent buildings, toilets and other infrastructure are not permitted, and all visitors must leave before sunset so the beach remains undisturbed for the turtles overnight. The wider Marine Park also includes approximately six kilometres of fully protected nesting beach where buildings, beach bars and boats are not permitted at all. These strict protections are a major reason why turtle nesting numbers on Zakynthos have increased so significantly. According to official reports from ARCHELON, the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece, 2024 recorded the highest number of turtle nests on Zakynthos on record. Between 2015 and 2024, recorded nest numbers on Zakynthos increased by approximately 150%, meaning there were around two-and-a-half times as many nests. This is a very positive sign that the conservation measures are working and that the nesting population is moving in the right direction. We recognise that tourism must be managed responsibly, which is why our captains educate guests about turtle conservation and follow the Marine Park guidelines throughout every tour. You described the boat trip and coastline as beautiful, and your criticism does not concern the conduct of our captain or the quality of our service. For that reason, we do not believe it is fair to judge our tour and business based on matters outside our control. Best regards Ian & The Boat Share Greece Team
