★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,053 reviews · 3 hours · from $29Our pick

A 3-hour Zakynthos turtle-spotting glass-bottom cruise from Laganas, with Keri Caves, Cameo Islet, and a swim on Marathonisi.

“Was a bit disheartened when I saw the boat initially, but once we left the port I and arrived at the first spot it got so much better. Also the guide was very funny and entertaining, and managed to find a turtle for us to see. Although it was quite sad seeing loads of boats crowd the poor turtle, the guide told us that if the turtle wasn’t comfortable then it could easily swim away quickly.”

“Escursione organizzata in modo eccellente, barca comoda e non eccessivamente affollata, staff ed equipaggio gentile e cordiale. Orario di partenza rispettato e, prima del rientro in porto, incontro con tre monaci di uno dei monasteri del Monte Athos che hanno raggiunto con un gommone la nostra imbarcazione per richieste di benedizioni ed offerte in cambio di loro prodotti artigianali.
