Turtle Spotting Tour with local guides brothers Dimitri & Pantelis in Zakynthos Marine Park

3 hours 7 seats

This is the tour that inspired everything we do at Boat Share Greece. Overcrowded boats can stress and scare the turtles—and they also ruin the magic of the moment. That’s why we keep things small. 🧡

Boat name

Pavlos - Poseidon Blue Water 185

Locations

Zakynthos Marine Park
Cameo Island
Keri Caves
Marathonisi (Turtle Island)

Tour overview

Guided by local brothers Dimitri & Pantelis, you’ll sail aboard a small boat that blends in quietly with the natural surroundings. This means better turtle encounters, calmer waters, and a more meaningful experience for everyone—turtles included.
