Our team at ZakynthosAPP had the opportunity to join the Turtle Spotting Cruise, a wildlife and sightseeing experience that left us with wonderful memories. The 5-hour cruise took us through the beautiful Ionian Sea, allowing us to spot native loggerhead turtles in Laganas Bay and explore the picturesque Keri Caves.
Upon boarding the comfortable and well-equipped boat, we were greeted by the professional guide who provided live commentary throughout the cruise. Their knowledge about the local wildlife and the island's history made the journey both informative and engaging.
Our first stop was Keri Caves, where we marveled at the stunning rock formations. The crystal-clear waters in this area are perfect for swimming, and we had a 30-minute stop to enjoy a refreshing dip. The natural beauty of the caves and the surrounding environment was truly breathtaking.
Next, we headed to Marathonisi, also known as "Turtle Island," not only for its significant role as a breeding ground for loggerhead turtles but also for its unique turtle-like shape. During our 30-minute swimming stop, we were fortunate enough to observe these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat—an experience we will never forget.
Throughout the cruise, we were able to purchase drinks and snacks on board, which made the journey even more enjoyable. The tour also included hotel pickup and drop-off, local taxes, live commentary, and transport by air-conditioned coach or minivan.
In conclusion, the Turtle Spotting Cruise is a must-try experience for anyone visiting Zakynthos. The combination of wildlife spotting, sightseeing, and swimming made for an unforgettable adventure. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour to nature enthusiasts and those seeking a unique way to explore the island's beauty.
