Admire the beautiful Caretta Caretta turtle up close on this eco-friendly boat tour from Laganas Beach to the National Marine Park in Zakynthos!

The island of ​Zakynthos, also known as Zante, is located in the Ionian Sea, west of mainland Greece. It is a vibrant destination with stunning coastal landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and pristine beaches. On this boat tour from Laganas Beach, you'll visit the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, which covers approximately 135 km² and is the first national park in the Mediterranean dedicated to sea turtle protection.

The adventure begins at the starting point at Laganas Beach, situated on the southern coast of Zakynthos. The National Marine Park encompasses the Gulf of Laganas, including Laganas Beach, and extends to nearby areas such as Kalamaki, Marathonisi (Turtle Island), and Gerakas. Upon arrival, you'll board the comfortable boat and meet the experienced guide. The vessel is equipped with shaded seating, a rear sundeck, and a glass bottom. After a quick welcome and safety briefing, the boat tour to the National Marine Park of Zakynthos begins!

You'll sail across the clear turquoise waters of the Bay of Laganas, navigating rocky sea caves and sandy beaches. The boat will enter the Marine Cave and sail along the Capo Marathià and Keri Caves. As you pass the secluded island of Marathonissi, you'll spot the incredible sea turtles! You'll have the unique opportunity to observe these magnificent creatures peacefully in their natural habitat. During the boat tour in Zante, you'll also stop at two tranquil swimming stops, including Oasis Bay Beach, a hidden gem nestled amidst towering white cliffs, only accessible by sea. Afterwards, you'll return to the starting point at Laganas Beach.
