Zakynthos Turtle Tour Liten grupp Turtle Spotting och Turtle Island
Beskrivning
Undvik de trånga båtarna och njut av en avslappnad tur med små grupper i Zakynthos. Med bara några gäster ombord finns det utrymme att koppla av och njuta av en mer personlig upplevelse med en vänlig lokal skeppare. Vi utforskar Zakynthos Marine Park, där sköldpaddor ofta ses nära båten. Om förhållandena tillåter och det är säkert, kan du även ha chansen att simma nära dem. Du kommer också att besöka gömda stränder och havsgrottor, och tack vare den mindre båten kan vi gå in i några grottor för att uppleva det fantastiska blå vattnet på nära håll. Denna tur är idealisk för dem som letar efter en mindre grupp, en avslappnad takt och en välorganiserad upplevelse från början till slut, inklusive gäster som besöker Zakynthos med kryssningsfartyg. Observera : Enligt grekisk sjörätt måste alla passagerare – även barn och spädbarn – räknas som fullvärdiga. Detta gör att vi kan hålla grupper små och bekväma. För att göra upplevelsen mer tillgänglig för familjer erbjuder vi reducerade priser för yngre gäster.

Resplan
Varje år emigrerar hundratals Caretta Caretta havssköldpaddor till Zakynthos stränder. Denna tur ger dig ett perfekt tillfälle att se dem simma i sin naturliga miljö. Vår lilla båt stör eller överskuggar inte sköldpaddorna. De simmar ofta glatt vid sidan av båten omedvetna om att vi är där. Detta ger dig sinnesfrid att veta att vi inte stör dem. detta ger oss också den perfekta utsikten och semester fotografier. Plus Om din kapten tror att det är säkert för dig och sköldpaddorna kommer han att låta dig hoppa i och simma lugnt tillsammans med dem vilket ger dig en upplevelse som du aldrig kommer att glömma.
Du kommer att utforska de stora grottorna och vikarna i Keri, där du stannar för ett dopp i det kristallklara blå vattnet. En fördel med att använda en liten båt är att man faktiskt kan gå in i grottorna – något större båtar inte kan göra. Inuti ser du spektakulära solljusreflektioner från de djupa vattnen och gör dem klarblå. Om du känner dig äventyrlig kan du till och med simma genom en liten anslutningstunnel mellan grottorna.
Mer känt som "Turtle Island". Detta är inte bara en viktig häckningsstrand för havssköldpaddorna, men ön är också formad som en gigantisk sköldpaddsmamma! Du kommer att segla runt på Turtle Island och upptäcka dess små grottor och dolda stränder innan du stannar till på dess största vackra strand för att sola, bada och kanske till och med en godbit från en av de flytande barerna som erbjuder kalla drycker och glass.

Vad som ingår
Upphämtningsplatser och tider
Transfer tur och retur ingår från resorter inom en radie av 6 km från Zakynthos flygplats (Zakynthos stad, Argassi, Kalamaki och Laganas). Vi strävar efter att hämta gästerna direkt från deras boende, men för att minimera den totala restiden kan en bekväm närliggande upphämtningsplats ibland ordnas. Turens avgångs- och upphämtningstider kan variera med upp till 30 minuter på vardera sidan av den angivna avgångstiden på grund av flera upphämtningsplatser, trafikförhållanden och säsongsbundna operativa krav. Gästerna kommer alltid att informeras om sin exakta upphämtningstid i förväg. Upphämtningar från områden strax utanför denna zon, såsom Tsilivi, är tillgängliga för en 5 € retur (tur och retur) pickup avgift per person. Upphämtningar från alla andra delar av ön erbjuds på begäran och efter bekräftelse, och kan medföra en extra avgift beroende på avstånd. Tyvärr kan vi inte hämta från Vasilikos. Argassi är den närmaste tillgängliga upphämtningsplatsen för Vasilikos gäster. Gästerna kan också begära en önskad upphämtningsplats inom den inkluderade radien. Vi rekommenderar att du kontaktar leverantören efter bokningen och före turen för att bekräfta exakt upphämtningsplats, tid och eventuella tillägg.

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!

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.

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
