Too many noisy motor boats and people to expect to see turtles. This is a rip off don’t support people who are not caring for these endangered creatures. Also rubbish on the beach - why can’t the businesses running these trips clean up after people? Ruining a beautiful natural place. Not for me.
One poor turtle was spotted and was circled by 4 plus boats even though it was advertised as an ‘eco’ tour. The guides also advertised the fact that jet skis aren’t allowed in this area and motor boats are limited due to the motor being so loud for the turtles under the water. This poor turtle was circled by multiple big sightseeing boats and I can’t imagine how loud it was for them. The boats also lingered for a while so everyone could get their photo opportunities. I wouldn’t recommend this tour for anyone, especially for any animal lovers out there. Disgusting, terrible experience. Me and my sister were crying as it was so traumatic to witness.
We did the boat trip for turtle watching and were shocked how a single turtle was circled by several boats so that all tourists could take a picture. This is animal cruelty!
I was very disappointed after this bad experience of the tour for seeing Turtles (caretta caretta) for the number of boat and motorboats in the area with a crash risk among them. The thing was very far from turtles seeing but very similar to a stressed turtles hunting. Besides, not to mention the visit to the turtle island (Matathonisi Island) invaded by tourists who pay little attention to the place who arrive with small and large boats not at all interested in the turtles and their protection, but only in a cold beer and other drinks sold by bar boats anchored on the "turtle" beach not at all equipped even to collect garbage. In the front sea sea in addition many motorboats driven by inexperienced people with a serious danger for the swimmers. In my opinion this experience is not to tell and to suggest for the poor turtles protection. The Zakinthos Island deserve more than this noisy and rude turism ……
The tour was brilliant , well worth the money . Beautiful scenery , we managed to see an adult turtle and baby turtles hatching on turtle island , an experience that we never thought we would see !
Yes, a turtle has been discovered! Yes, one has actually dared to go near the mainland, probably one of the last. 4 boats are circling the frightened animal, after all, all gawkers should be able to take their own photo, because they paid for it. This has nothing to do with nature, it is pure animal cruelty. But what the heck, soon they won't be there at all. Greed eats brains. Then the unfriendly locals are left with the three littered, overcrowded beaches, the 500 restaurants that offer exactly the same thing and the necessary evil, the tourist. Who then speeds across the island on quad bikes and disturbs the idyll. By the way, the photo is from the turtle rescue station. You'd better go there if you end up here. We watched the above-mentioned activity from a distance. The landscape is fantastic if you have blinkers on.
Before the trip the communication was good. But the car ride was a little weird because the driver was late. Then we can't find the boat and nobody helped us. We waited an hour for the ride and there was no shadow. After an hour a man said we got a private boat and they are so sorry about the waiting.The boat driver was so kind and helpful. The trip was very nice, we saw a turtle as well.
A somewhat disappointing excursion as it consists of arriving with a boat at a point not very far from the shore to glimpse a turtle (and I underline one) for a few minutes at the "modest" price of 10 euros
We appreciate your review, however it appears that you did not attend one of our excursions.
While the turtle experience and boat trip to turtle island itself was very enjoyable, as was looking at the blue caves afterwards, unfortunately I can't say the same about the journey to and from the hotel. On the way out the driver was in the phone the whole journey. On the way back he kept picking his phone up and was scrolling through it, and also picked up a load of paperwork which he read while driving ( see attached photo), even doing it on approach to junctions. At one point he nearly ran in to the back of a truck. When we got to Laganas to pick up the boat he dumped us out, said the boat wasn't in yet and to pick it up down there pointing to a jetty where there was lots of boats. We asked if there was a toilet on the boat or if not where to find one. He said there was one on the boat. He told us the boat to look for was a white boat. He SHOULD have walked us DOWN TO WHERE THE BOAT COMES IN, so we knew exactly where to pick it up from. It wasn't a white boat but beige and didn't have a toilet. We only found it coz we walked along and asked each boat operator if we were with them. Definitely not happy with the service from this company. The boat trip itself I can't fault.
We got to see two beautiful turtles which made me so happy. The boat ride and swimming are also divine.
