About the experience

Prepare for an unforgettable Private journey with skipper through Zakynthos' most iconic sites! Cruise across sparkling waters to discover the legendary Shipwreck Beach, marvel at the dazzling Blue Caves, and encounter the island's beloved loggerhead turtles in their natural habitat. This 4-hour experience perfectly combines adventure, beauty, and relaxation.

Your adventure begins with a cruise along Zakynthos's striking coastline, with its dramatic cliffs and sparkling blue waters. The first stop is the famous Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach), where the rusty wreck of the MV Panagiotis stands out against the white sand and limestone cliffs. You'll have time to swim, relax, and take stunning photos in this iconic setting. From there, the boat will sail along the coast to the Blue Caves, a natural wonder where sunlight reflects off the turquoise water, creating mesmerizing shades of blue inside the caves. Glide under the natural arches and admire the play of light and water. The highlight of your excursion is a visit to the island's Turtle Sanctuary, where you'll have the chance to spot graceful loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta Caretta) swimming in the crystal-clear waters. Equipped with masks, you'll even be able to get a closer look at the marine life beneath the waves. Throughout the excursion, a cooler filled with water and soft drinks will keep you fueled during your exploration.

What sets this adventure apart is the perfect combination of Zakynthos' most famous sites with little extras that make the experience comfortable and memorable. Unlike crowded and impersonal excursions, this 4-hour getaway takes place in small groups, ensuring a more intimate and personalized adventure. The tour's timing is carefully planned to avoid peak travel times at each destination, offering you the best photo opportunities and a more relaxed atmosphere.

Don't miss the opportunity to explore Zakynthos' top attractions on an exceptional excursion! Book your shipwreck, Blue Caves, and turtle-watching adventure today and create memories that will last a lifetime.

    Raphael knows every nook and cranny of the island perfectly and makes for a great time! Definitely a better option than the multitude of "tourist" rental companies on the port!

    The boat tour to Navagio Beach and the Blue Caves was absolutely unforgettable — and a big part of that was thanks to Raphael! He was an amazing guide: super friendly, patient, knowledgeable and so much fun to be around. He made everyone feel comfortable and created a great vibe throughout the entire experience. I felt safe, relaxed and truly enjoyed every moment. If you’re thinking about doing this tour, don’t hesitate — and if you can, go with Raphael! One of the highlights of my trip to Greece!

    We took a boat tour to the Blue Caves on Zakynthos with Raphael yesterday – and it was simply fantastic! Raphael was incredibly kind, super personable, and went to incredible lengths to ensure we had a great time. The tour was tremendous fun, very informative, and at the same time totally relaxed. You can immediately tell that he loves the island and knows a lot about Zakynthos. We felt completely at ease and would do his tour again anytime. Highly recommended – thank you for this special experience, Raphael!

    Raphael is the captain everyone wishes they had by far!!! What an amazing day! Raphael isn’t just a great captain he’s the kind of person who instantly makes you feel like an old friend. From the very start, he welcomed us with a big smile and a great sense of humor, treating me like I was one of his best mates. He’s not only super knowledgeable and careful when it comes to safety, but also full of energy and good vibes. Always joking, telling stories, and taking us to secret spots around Zakynthos we never would’ve found on our own. I truly recommend this experience if you’re lucky enough to have Raphael as your captain, get ready to laugh, relax, and enjoy the sea like never before. Thanks, captain! See you next time in Italy ☀️⛵

    Highly recommended! It's worth it! Raphael is a young and experienced captain, helpful, and great company! The boat is new and comfortable. There were six of us on board, and we were comfortable, split between the bow and stern. We began the experience by searching for Loggerhead sea turtles, continued with a swim in the sulfurous waters and a visit to the caves, and ended our tour with a dip in the crystal-clear sea right after visiting the blue caves! We wish it had lasted longer! Maybe next time!

    The highlight of the trip to Zante for my daughter and her friends. Raphael doesn’t just provide first class transportation to the beautiful sights but adds so much energy and fun to the experience. A wonderful experience and well worth the money.

    Raphael is an AMAZING skipper, the boat is brand new, super clean. He has taken us in amazing spots for sightseeing first to beat the crowd then in other areas for swimming and snorkelling. He then suggested a very nice restaurant which was serving food with local ingredients and all organic. To make it even better he also gave us hints on where to go and places to go in Zakyntos. I would definitely recommend it, worth every penny!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – and even that’s not enough! I rarely leave reviews – but this time I had to make an exception. Raphael is simply an amazing guy and offers one of the best boat tours you can experience on Zakynthos. Everything was perfectly organized, personal, honest, and full of passion. You feel safe, welcome, and like you’re spending the day with a friend rather than just a tour guide. This isn’t your typical touristy trip – it’s a true highlight of the island. Thanks Raphael – you’re doing an incredible job, and it shows in every moment!
