Best way to see the island - My husband and I took this tour to try to get a glimpse of the turtles and see a bit more of the island and we weren't disappointed. Katerina was our contact and she messaged us the day before to arrange a mini bus pick up from our hotel. The transport arrived promptly and took us to the boat. Our captain was knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure we saw the turtles- we saw 2 which was great. We had an excellent tour of the caves- again, the captain ensured we had opportunities to see things up close and take photos. We then had an opportunity to spend time on the island of Marathanisi- we had over an hour. This gave us the chance to swim in the sea and chill on the beach. The beach is a bit pebbly! But we really enjoyed our time here. The mini bus was waiting for us when we returned and dropped us back at the hotel again. Overall, fantastic experience and would definitely recommend!

Quiet rental! - We rented the boat with this agency and it all went well. Good boat, comfortable, explanations of simple and objective handling in addition to guidance of what to visit, where to stop... finally all great. Sorry we only rented in the afternoon. We paid 120 euros for up to 7 people (we were in a couple only), that is, it can be very attractive for groups. I recommend!

Best of Zante - Excellent service and experience - We enjoyed both our boat trips with your company - Best of Zante. We did the Blue Caves trip and the Caretta Caretta Turtle trip. We loved our captain as he was very passionate, engaging and had a great sense of humour. We enjoyed swimming at Keri Caves - absolutely stunning views and stunning colours of the ocean. Thank you Best of Zante for a wonderful experience and your professional and friendly service!

Great experience - The boat tour offers fantastic views and the swimming stops are great.
The Guide was super friendly and his explanations interesting and often funny!
The organization includes the bus ride from the Pension to the port.
However, it is difficult to find turtles. We have seen two hunted by many boats. It’s a little sad.
However, I recommend the excursion which is great!

Turtle spotting boat trip - Dennis, our boat captain, was brilliant. Very knowledgable about the turtles, and explained some of their behaviour. I couldn’t believe we actually saw turtles, 3 of them! He also made the trip great fun going through arches and caves. I can see why for most the people the stop on turtle island is the longest swimming stop, but for me I would have preferred somewhere better for snorkelling interest. The pick up from the hotel was great, we had to wait 10 mins at the end for our return drop off, but still a superb trip. Well worth the money, and exceeded my expectations of what it would be like. ❤️

Memories for life - I took my 2 boys : 5 and 7 years old for this boat trip with the glass bottom boat and it was FANTASTIC! It was such a magical experience to spot 4 turtles. We then visited the Keri caves, with a quick swimming brake and then went to Marathonisi for a snack and swimming in the crystal blue water. I have to say that having Denis as our guide and captain made this trip even greater! He was so kind and funny and extremely good with the kids on board, letting them even drive the boat 🤩 Needless to say they had the best time and were sad when the trip finished! Thank you to Denis if he will read this, he made magical memories for my boys and myself . So many choices in selecting a boat trip, I wholeheartedly reccomend this one. We will be back 🤞

A nothing less than amazing trip - Best way to see Zakynthos is most definitely by boat, and this trip was nothing less than amazing (date 14 may 2024, 9.00-12.00). Our tour guide was very kind, informative and had a great sense of humour, which we appreciated and made the trip so much more fun.
Our guide found a 70 year old turtle male at the very beginning of our trip, and he was very gentle and respectful of the turtle and made sure that it had the space it needed to feel safe. The turtle male therefore came up to breathe no less than 3-4 times, and it was an amazing sight and you can for sure understand why the people at Zakynthos treasure their amazing sea friends so much.
We were a small amount of people and that was really nice and we got to swim at the Keri caves which was stunningly beautiful and the water was amazing to swim in. I'm not sure why, but it was as if you didn't have to do much to stay floating in the water, so you could use all of your energy to just focus on the amazingly clear water and the breathtaking cliffs and caves. At last we visited turtle Island, and this was also a very beautiful spot on the tour. We would for sure highly recommend this tour!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
