Embark on a magnificent 4-hour private journey to explore the most iconic natural wonders of Southern Zakynthos. This exclusive escape takes you into the heart of Laganas Bay to discover Marathonisi, the famous turtle-shaped island. As part of the National Marine Park, this protected sanctuary offers crystal-clear waters and untouched sandy beaches where the endangered Caretta caretta sea turtles come to nest.

The adventure continues toward the Keri Caves, a breathtaking series of sea caverns and natural arches carved into the limestone cliffs. We will navigate right to the entrance of these caves, where the sunlight bounces off the white rocks to create a surreal blue glow in the water. It is a true swimmer's paradise and a dream for photography enthusiasts. Your professional crew, fluent in English and Greek, will provide all the necessary snorkeling gear and a cooler to ensure your comfort throughout the trip.

    This was truly incredible! After 20 years of traveling and seeing so much of the world, this is truly the most beautiful trip I've ever taken. Dimitri is a truly professional captain. Very discreet and polite! He showed us the most beautiful spots. Without a captain, this tour would never have been as wonderful. This is truly worth the money, and we would love to go again. He really takes his time. There's plenty of time for snorkeling and exploring beautiful spots! He even goes into the caves. Very impressive! Highly recommended!

    We were welcomed with such warmth and kindness from the very start. Dimitris was incredibly friendly and respectful, and he shared fascinating stories and history about the places we visited, which made the trip even more special. The whole experience was relaxing, enjoyable, and full of beautiful sights. The Bluetooth connection on board was a great bonus, allowing us to enjoy our own music along the way. Thank you for such a memorable boat trip – I can recommend it with all my heart!

    What Amazing expérience!!! Swim with turtles while respecting them. Our skipper was a true professional with absolute mastery of his boat! We went into several caves, and our skipper swam out to discover a cave and even swam with us. Extremely kind to us and our children, and very respectful of his environment. Many thanks for a day that will leave us with indelible memories.

    We enjoyed a wonderful boat trip, admiring all the beautiful spots around Laganas and Keri, from exceptionally deep caves to the best snorkeling spots. Dimitris pointed out a swimming sea turtle, and our teenagers dived into the water at a respectful distance. An experience they'll never forget! Dimitris knew more beautiful spots and joined our boys in the water to explain things and give them tips. They saw large, small, and entire schools of fish. We forgot our goggles and snorkels during the morning rush, but there were plenty on board. Thank you for a fantastic day!

    An unforgettable boat trip! We had a fantastic day on the water and a lot of fun! The tour took us to beautiful bays and gorgeous beaches – every stop was a highlight. Special praise goes to our skipper, Dimi: super friendly, attentive, and simply lovely – we felt safe and in good hands with him the entire time. The organization was top-notch, the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming. We would book with this tour operator again anytime – we highly recommend it!

    We were a group of 8 people, but the boat was only designed for 8 people including the skipper. The owner came over quickly and made us a good offer for 2 boats. The tour was perfect, really beautiful corners and bays so that we could see everything that was worth seeing. Everyone was very nice and made it possible for us to have a great day. The time that was lost because of the misunderstanding was added on at no extra cost. Definitely recommended!

    Dimitris was great with communication and picked us up from the cruise port. Thomas was our captain for the day and he was amazing! He was so knowledgeable of the area and knew how to manipulate the boat into the small caves. He took us to spots where we could swim through the caves and gave us as much time as we wanted. I would highly recommend using Dimitris!

    We had a great trip with Dimitris! He took us into every cave and knows the most beautiful beaches and amazing rock formations. We did the 6-hour tour in the south, and it is highly recommended! It is best to book with a skipper. We had a wonderful day that we will never forget!

    It was amazing trip by boat! Thanks a lot Dimitris for great emotions, cool photos and the most picturesque stops for swimming! The boat is new and very comfortable! I highly recommend to take a skipper, because he know will show really cool places and sometime waves were not so calm, so it's really better to have someone, who will steer the boat and you will enjoy the trip:)

    Excellent! Dimitrys boat was very comfortable and well equipped, it is easy and fun to drive. Dimitry is very nice and helpful, he took the time to show us everything we needed to know, he gave us all the best tips about how to get around and how to reach the nice places. At the end of the day we paid the extra cost for the fuel, it was a small amount, i think less than 30€ (for 6 hours) I would definitely recommend it, and surely come back next time I visit the island. Thank you Dimitry!

    Dimitri was communicative from the first message, we arranged quickly our tour with him the day before. During the sailing day he took us to the most beautiful places on the island, he was kind and answered all our questions. He sails so good! It’s amazing. We never feel unsafe. Not only this but also he took us to the port where we had to take a ferry and I left a bag at his car and he returned it to me. Efcharisto Dimitris for our best day in Zakinthos!
