Zakynthos Turtle Tour Small Group Turtle Spotting & Turtle Island
Overview
Avoid the crowded boats and enjoy a relaxed small-group turtle tour in Zakynthos. With just a few guests on board, there’s space to relax and enjoy a more personal experience with a friendly local skipper.
We explore the Zakynthos Marine Park, where turtles are often seen close to the boat. If conditions are safe, you may even have the chance to swim near them. You’ll also visit hidden beaches and sea caves, with our smaller boat allowing us to enter some caves and experience the stunning blue water up close.
For tours in May, September and October, turtle sightings can be less frequent than during the peak summer months.
This tour is ideal for guests looking for a small group, relaxed pace and well-organised experience, including cruise ship visitors.
Please note:
Under Greek maritime law, every passenger, including children and infants, counts as a full seat. This helps us keep groups small and comfortable, with reduced rates available for younger guests.

Meeting and Pickup
Return hotel transfers are included from resorts within a 6 km radius of Zakynthos Airport (Zakynthos Town, Argassi, Kalamaki and Laganas).We aim to collect guests directly from their accommodation; however, to minimise overall travel time, a convenient nearby pick-up point may occasionally be arranged.Tour departure and pick-up times may vary by up to 30 minutes either side of the stated departure time due to multiple pick-up locations, traffic conditions, and seasonal operational requirements. Guests will always be informed of their exact pick-up time in advance.Pickups from areas just outside this zone, such as Tsilivi, are available for a €5 return (round-trip) pickup fee per person.Pickups from all other areas of the island are available on request and subject to confirmation, and may incur an additional fee depending on distance. Unfortunately, we are unable to collect from Vasilikos. Argassi is the closest available pick-up point for Vasilikos guests.Guests may also request a preferred pick-up location within the included radius. We recommend contacting the supplier after booking and prior to the tour to confirm the exact pick-up point, time, and any applicable supplement.
