Details
Join us on our glass bottom boat trip to Mizithres Rocks and Turtle Island and discover Zakynthos in a special way! From Agios Sostis, our adventure starts with our first stop in Laganas Bay to observe the Caretta caretta turtles. We stay here for about 20 minutes so that you have enough time to take photos of the rare animals. Here we place great emphasis on the rules set by the national park to protect the turtles.
Our next stop is the Keri Caves. These gorgeous caves and their arches create an enchanting scene that is not to be missed, so prepare your cameras to capture their beauty, or jump into the sea for a 20-minute swim stop. Then, we will head to the beach of Myzinthres, where we will remain for approximately half an hour and have the opportunity to jump into the refreshing water and snorkel, relax on the beach or simply enjoy the fascinating panorama
Lastly, we will pay a visit to Turtle Island. With our glass bottom boat, we will approach the front beach of the island where you will have another chance to spring into the refreshing, turquoise water! After 20 minutes of swimming,we will head back to Agios Sostis.

A very nice trip, with a friendly and professional crew. We spotted a turtle in the bay, then headed to the caves, where we took beautiful photos and had the most beautiful swim of the day in a truly breathtaking sea. Then we swam again at Mizithres in a blue sea. Our last stop was Turtle Island, where we enjoyed a lovely swim in the beautiful sea, although the beach was crowded with boats, but it couldn't be otherwise... 8/10!

A really nice tour in itself. However, we didn't visit Mizithres Rock as described, which we found really unfortunate. Keri Caves and Turtle Island were truly beautiful! We even saw turtles.

For a larger group boattrip it is one of the best out here in Zakynthos. Because of the size of the ship you do not go into many caves but get really close. We got to see a turtle and they give you ample time for swimming in the dazzling blue oceans around the island. It is a 4 hour trip as stated in the booking. Definately recommend.
