• 5Excellent boat trip to...

  Excellent boat trip to see the shipwreck and the blue caves. Included 2 swimming stops in the unbelievably blue water. Kostas was a great skipper. Very good value!

• 5Amazing trip. Recommended

  The whole trip from start to finish was well organised even helping with where to park. We had Kostas as our captain and he was great. Spoke excellent English and very knowledgable about the area and the sights and all whilst manoeuvring skilfully around the bigger waves to ensure a smoother ride. We saw the shipwreck close up, took the boat into caves and gave us a couple of opportunities to swim in the bright blue water. As well as looking after his own passengers he was also taking care of others swimming in the sea when some young lads were driving their boat in a dangerous, crazy way. The whole trip was so smooth, beautiful and very relaxing. It didn’t feel rushed at all and we had a great time. Would definitely recommend!!

• 5Lovely morning on the Ionian Sea

  This was a beautiful 2.5 hours on the sea. The water is stunning. Be aware that Navagio bay is a tourist hot spot and full of boats. You also cannot get on the beach or swim there anymore. The blue caves were beautiful, if you want the full experience, make sure you are in a very small boat. Take a snorkel and mask for the swim around the cave area! Do not go on the boat trip if you get sea sick. It may look like really still water, but the number of boats out, makes it more choppy (one man on our boat didn’t get that memo!)

• 5Scenic coast, great swimming stops with swims inside the blue caves and cliffs jumping

  I enjoyed more this cruise with departure from Agios Nikolaos and heading to Navaggio beach than the similar one from Porto Vromi. You see more of the coast, you see the actual rather than the “local” blue caves and the captain, Costas, is a blast. The swimming stops are nice in both cruises, but the one at the blue caves is spectacular, swimming 30 meters inside a blue cavern with a one foot ceiling in places is exhilarating.

• 5Great day out on the sea...

  Great day out on the sea in a way to see a few caves, history, and a little swimming between points.

• 5Fun and fascinating

  We booked this tour and we were very satisfied. Our guide was funny, leaving jokes all the time. He showed us amazing places in the North side of the island - the Blue caves and Navagio beach. He was very attentive and answered all of our questions. 5 out of 5 for everything ;)

About Zakynthos

Zakynthos, also called Zante, is an Ionian Greek island known for the Navagio shipwreck cove, sea caves and turtles that nest on its southern beaches.

Zakynthos lies off the west coast of the Peloponnese, a green island with a fertile central plain, olive groves and tall cliffs on its western side. The Venetians called it the flower of the east. Zakynthos Town, rebuilt after the earthquake of 1953, spreads along the harbour with a long waterfront, arcades and Solomos Square, named after Dionysios Solomos, the poet whose verses became the Greek national anthem.

Top-ranked sights in Zakynthos: Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach), Zante Water Village, Porto Limnionas Beach.
