- Turtle Spot Zakynthos - Each year, hundreds of Caretta Caretta sea turtles migrate to the shores of Zakynthos. This tour offers a wonderful chance to observe them swimming in their natural environment. Our small boat ensures that the turtles are neither disturbed nor overshadowed. They often swim joyfully alongside the boat, unaware of our presence. This provides peace of mind, knowing we are not disrupting them, and allows for perfect views and memorable holiday photos. Additionally, if the captain deems it safe for both you and the turtles, you may have the opportunity to swim peacefully alongside them, creating an unforgettable experience.
- Keri Caves - Discover the expansive caves and coves of Keri, where you can pause for a swim in the crystal-clear blue waters. A small boat offers the unique advantage of entering the caves, a feat impossible for larger vessels. Inside, you’ll witness stunning sunlight reflections off the deep waters, transforming them into a brilliant blue. For the adventurous, there’s even the option to swim through a small connecting tunnel between the caves.
- Marathonisi - Often referred to as ‘Turtle Island,’ this is not only a crucial nesting site for sea turtles but also an island shaped like a giant mother turtle! Sail around Turtle Island to explore its small caves and hidden beaches before stopping at its main beautiful beach for sunbathing, swimming, and perhaps enjoying a treat from one of the floating bars offering cold drinks and ice cream.

Fantastic tour. Definitely worth the money and so much better as you could get into the small caves in the boat - This was a fantastic boat trip. The skipper was so knowledgeable and due to the small size of the boat, he took us to some of the smallest caves which were so beautiful. He went out of his way to find turtles for us, meaning we went over our trip time by an hour. Very friendly and flexible. They picked us up and took us back to our hotel. Can’t rate this highly enough.

Highly recommended! Respect for nature, seen a lot of the island and swam in the most beautiful places! - Really a great experience! Very nice to sail almost private, but affordable. The skipper knows a lot of beautiful places around the island and there is plenty of time to have breaks for swimming / snorkeling during the trip. You really come to indescribably beautiful (and quiet!) places. We also saw a turtle! The boat is not as big as boat tours where dozens of people go on a boat, so you can also sail through many more and smaller caves.
Contact with the organization is super smooth. Have sent them a message after booking via the whatsapp number and this will be picked up very quickly. Recommended!

Price/performance was far exceeded !,,, - Were quite great hours, not overloaded with constant info and chatter. Our skipper has traded it quite great Infos where appropriate, absolutely recognized our wishes, just great and always again. We were 2 couples on board and had the feeling of an exclusive, on small boat but fully comfortable, tour.
Transfers from/to the hotel included.
Is absolutely recommended and top.

Great tour of caves. Well organised and great captain. - This was a great tour in that the organiser and captain went to lengths to help me logistically and make sure I had the best day. I didn't know though, when booking, that I was unlikely to see turtles at this time of year... the caves were inspiring though. The handling of the boat was masterful and the captain really looked after everyone....

Great day exploring south islands, excellent guide, lots of stops for swimming and snorkeling, really cared about turtle conserv - An excellent guide collected us from our hotel and took us on a wonderful trip around the southern islands and caves of Zakinthos. Lots of stops for swimming and snorkeling with the local wildlife, and swims through caves which are amazing with a mask and snorkel! Our guide really cared about turtle conservation which was awesome, where the loaded trip boats didn't. Being a small boat we also threaded the needle around the rocks and into caves which the big boats can't. I cannot recommend taking a small boat enough over the commercial options, look after the locals! We were flexible throughout our trip and could stay and swim in multiple locations. This was a perfect afternoon with a knowledgeable guide and an experience to remember - thank you so much for showing yes around, we'll be back.

Impressive tour - Padelis (driver, captain and tour guide) has done everything to make the tour an experience. Especially swimming in the narrow cave (which was not on the program) will remain unforgettable. I would also like to praise his warmth and maneuverability. Very impressive how confidently he mastered the narrowest passages. Only small defect from Enterprise: Water should be offered on the ship.

Exceptional experience ! - The duration is vague due to cooperation of wild life and conditions of weather and water
(Up to the captain’s discretion). Our captain was terrific and took full advantage of best opportunities. Just don’t plan to be back in a rush to something else. I was very glad to have brought my own snorkel and mask.
This a a super way to see the best of the area.
Small boats can get into smaller caves - more options! Getting back on the boat after a swim is somewhat challenging but the captain was extremely attentive and thoughtful of my 70 year old limitations.

Recommended! - The boat trip was a fantastic experience that we can definitely recommend.
There was a bit of a strong wind which made the sea a bit wilder than usual. We were informed about this in advance because we might get wet on board.
We went anyway and saw beautiful places. Even 2 more turtles that briefly raised their heads above water seen.
The captain was very friendly and gave a lot of information about the turtles.
We even swam into a cave where there was a hidden beach.
Thanks for the nice afternoon!
Greetings Stephen & Patricia
