Zakynthos Turtle Tour Small Group Turtle Spotting & Turtle Island

Vielen Dank, Nancy, für die tolle Bewertung! 😊 Es freut uns sehr, dass euch die Tour gefallen hat. Im September sind viele Schildkröten bereits weitergezogen, daher ist es ganz normal, etwas weniger zu sehen als im Juli oder August. Umso schöner, dass ihr trotzdem zwei entdecken konntet! 🐢🇬🇷 Ian & The Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted you had such a great experience with Dimitri and managed to see five turtles 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 We really value keeping our groups small so everyone has plenty of space, and so the boat can get right inside some of those beautiful caves and hidden spots. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the swimming stops, crystal-clear water and Dimitri’s skilful boat handling 🌊 Thank you again for joining us and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you back to Zakynthos again one day! ☀️🇬🇷 Ian & The Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷

Thank you so much for such a lovely and detailed review! 😊🐢🇬🇷 We’re really happy you enjoyed the small-group experience and could see the difference compared with the larger boats. Being able to get into the smaller caves, take our time at the swimming stops and keep the whole trip more relaxed is exactly what we try to offer. It’s also great to hear that the pickup arrangements and WhatsApp communication made everything easy for you. And Pantelis will be very happy to hear your kind words — spotting two turtles, a boy and a girl, sounds like a pretty successful trip! 🐢🐢 Thank you again for choosing to join us and for recommending the experience. We hope you took home some fantastic memories from Zakynthos! ☀️🌊 Ian & The Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷

Heel erg bedankt voor jullie mooie review en natuurlijk dat jullie met ons mee zijn geweest! 😊🐢🇬🇷 Wat fijn om te horen dat jullie hebben genoten van de kleine groep, de ontspannen sfeer, de schildpadden en de prachtige kust en grotten. Juist die persoonlijke ervaring met een kleine boot is precies wat we onze gasten willen bieden. We waarderen het enorm dat jullie de tijd hebben genomen om jullie ervaring te delen. Dank jullie wel voor het kiezen van Boat Share Greece en we hopen dat jullie met mooie herinneringen aan Zakynthos naar huis zijn gegaan! ☀️🌊 Ian & The Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! 😊🇬🇷 We’re delighted that your whole family had such a memorable time with us, especially with such a lovely mix of generations on board. We’ll make sure Pantelis sees your kind words — he’ll be very happy to hear them! 🐢💙 Keeping our tours small and personal is really important to us, so it means a lot to know that this made the experience feel special for you. Thank you again for choosing Boat Share Greece and for recommending us so highly. We hope to welcome you back to Zakynthos again one day! ☀️🌊 Ian & The Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷

Thank you very much for your lovely review and recommendation! We’re especially pleased to hear that you enjoyed the balance of information during the tour. We always want our guests to learn about the turtles, the Marine Park and the places we visit, but without turning a relaxing boat trip into a long lecture. Our aim is to keep things friendly, informative and natural, giving guests interesting information while still leaving plenty of time to simply enjoy the scenery, swimming and the experience itself. We’re also delighted that you appreciated the small group. Keeping our groups small is a very important part of what we do, allowing for a much more relaxed and personal experience on the water. Thank you again for choosing to spend part of your holiday with us. It was a pleasure having you aboard and we hope you take home some wonderful memories of Zakynthos. 🐢☀️🇬🇷 Ian & The Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷

UPDATE: Since posting our original response, we have received a 5-star review from another guest who was on this exact same tour. For anyone considering this experience and wishing to read another perspective from the same trip, please see Collette’s review titled “Awesome trip, would recommend!!” posted on 20 September 2026. We feel it is only fair that future guests have the opportunity to read both experiences and make their own judgement. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that the tour did not quite hit the mark for you. At this time of the season, turtle sightings can sometimes be more difficult. We always try to avoid crowded situations and, most importantly, make sure the welfare of the turtles comes first. Anyone reading our previous reviews will see that this is something we take very seriously — we do not want to contribute to the problem. Unfortunately, this can sometimes leave the captain in a difficult position. Our only other negative review this season criticised us because the turtle surfaced briefly and the captain then moved away rather than remaining with it. We will always try to strike the right balance between giving our guests the experience they booked and behaving responsibly around the wildlife. Our captain does provide information throughout the trip, although he does not speak continuously as we deliberately try to create a relaxed atmosphere on board and allow guests to enjoy the scenery and surroundings. Regarding the snorkelling equipment, the captain has told us that he did offer equipment to the other couple, but they declined. We completely understand that you may not have noticed this while you were swimming. You are also absolutely right that the captain is extremely skilled at handling the boat, particularly around the caves and coastline. His experience and ability to position and manoeuvre the boat safely is precisely why guests should be able to relax and enjoy the trip without worrying about the boat itself. We are nevertheless genuinely disappointed that the experience was not what you had hoped for. We work extremely hard throughout the season to deliver the small-group, relaxed experience that we advertise and that the overwhelming majority of our guests enjoy. Thank you again for joining us and for taking the time to give us your feedback. Ian & The Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷

We’ll be very happy to welcome you back for round three next time you’re in Zakynthos! 🇬🇷☀️ Ian & The Boat Share Greece Team 🇬🇷
