Grab a group of your nearest and dearest and set sail on this private glass-bottomed boat cruise to the island of Marthonisi, better known as Turtle Island. You'll head out from Laganas Bay, part of the Zakynthos Marine Park which is a protected area where loggerhead turtles nest. Your experienced captain will tell you all about these endangered animals as you try to catch a glimpse of them through the clear bottom of the boat during your three-hour trip. If the weather's on your side, you'll get to have a wander on the uninhabited island and go for a swim. It's like your own private slice of paradise.

Unfortunately the trip didn’t turn out to be what our rep had recommended, not her fault. We stood on the beach for 45 minutes before departure and there were 24 people on board. It was very overcrowded and you hardly had space to stand. We only had 1 swim stop for 10 minutes although 2 were what was sold to us. Our time on the beach was only 45 minutes although, everything was rushed due to late departure. Very disappointing and very expensive when what was promised wasn’t delivered.

Loved the expertise close cave navigation of the Captain. Enjoyed the two swimming opportunities and of course the turtle views via the glass bottom boat.

The trip was very enjoyable ans would go as far as saying it was the highlight of our holiday however, the only thing that let it down was the lack of communication from the point of drop of to the actual experience. We waited with two young children in the midday sun and waited where out pick up guy dropped us however, we waited 1hr before a man walked up and asked if we were going on the trip. We felt very isolated as we had no point of contact and wasn't sure if we had just been abandoned

Het is handig om te vertellen dat je via het zeewater (kniehoogte) de boot in moet klimmen. Dus let op schoenen en je spullen. We kwamen om turtles te spotten en hebben er 1 gezien, op weg naar turtle island. Daar word je “gedropt” (ook via het zeewater, kniehoogte) om een uur te zwemmen / op het strandje te zitten. Het is daar heel druk, zonder schaduw plekken. Er meren daar namelijk vele boten tegelijk aan met hun passagiers die gaan zwemmen. Het is een leuke excursie, maar niet heel bijzonder
