Wat te verwachten
Loggerhead sea turtles have been residents of Zante's beaches for thousands of years, and with a bit of luck, you'll see them first-hand on this boat trip. Join an expert local guide for an educational day out at sea, passing by nesting sites, swimming in hidden bays and spending time in the village of Keri. Bianca, one of our guides, says, ‘In just one trip, you get to jump into clear waters, cruise along the Keri peninsula and, with luck, see turtles.'Available either in the morning from Zante harbour or the afternoon from Keri harbour, this half-day cruise is a real treat for all the family. You'll pass by the golden beaches of Vassilikos and Marathonisi, a pine-clad islet dubbed ‘Turtle Island'. The reason's simple – one of its beaches is a favourite turtle nesting site. Bianca, who's lived on Zante for more than 20 years, says of the scenery, ‘You can do this tour a thousand times and every day is different.' Be sure to keep a lookout for Loggerheads, and you may even spot a wild dolphin or two.Plus, you'll sail along the Keri peninsula, cruising by its sea-plunging cliffs, caves and lighthouse before dropping anchor for a swim stop at the Bay of Oasis. In the small village of Keri, you have a quick stop to shop for souvenirs, relax in a typical taverna or hit the beach. What's more, a volunteer from local conservation group ARCHELON – the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece – will be on board to give you the lowdown on its work. What is the itinerary for this experience?This experience is available as a morning or afternoon turtle cruise, so the itinerary timings change depending on which one you pick.Morning option:- 8:45am – depart from Zakynthos Harbour- 9:30am to 10:00am – swimming stop at Vasilikos (Porto Roma) for 30 minutes- 11:00am to 11:20am – turtle spotting in Laganas Bay- 11:25am to 11:35am – photo stop at Marathonisi (Turtle Island)- 11:45am to 12:30pm – swimming stop at Oasis Bay for 45 minutes- 12:40pm to 12:50pm – photo stop at the Keri Caves- 1:00pm to 1:30pm – stop at Keri fishing village with time for a short village walk----------Afternoon option:- 12:50pm to 1:20pm – arrive at Keri, village walk and boat departure- 1:30pm to 1:40pm – photo stop at the Keri Caves- 2:00pm to 2:45pm – swimming stop at Oasis Bay for 45 minutes- 2:50pm to 3:10pm – turtle spotting- 3:15pm to 3:25pm – photo stop at Marathonisi (Turtle Island)- 4:25pm to 4:55pm – swimming stop at Vasilikos- 5:40pm – arrive back at Zakynthos Port and transfer to your resort Please note, the times and schedule may vary on the day

Tui rep was not overly friendly but was more with what we felt her own nationality group. Felt like she wasn't there at all. I approached a different rep and she was helpful and cheery. There was alot rude people on this cruise. The snack bar people were lovely, snacks available was really good and good prices. Although they tried, we did not see any turtles. We were also not given alot of time on Keri island. A quick toilet stop and a rush to return coach bus. Disappointing.

The boat has more space on it. Snack bar was friendly but had little variety. The toilets had no seats which was the worst thing. That invited people not to sit but hang and they get very dirty and wet. Not expensive items for owners and I think essentials in ladies toilets

The whole experience was a waste of time and money. Why take people on such a cruise, when there are no turtles to be seen because of the weather and time of year. Other operators were offering a similar cruise much cheaper and some even included landing on the island. There were no floatation devices on offer for non swimmers. This cruise was very long and boring. I could have stayed at home and gone away on a ferry to from Dover to Calais!!!

Couldn't hear commentary, too quiet. Boat was bit big and crowded. Sat on plastic seat in gangway. Did not see any turtles at all. The swim stops were in low visibility water and not interesting. The swim stops on the half day cruise to shipwreck beach and blue caves were much better. On our TUI trip to Mexico, buoyancy aids were used, whilst in the sea.

Neither of us could understand the commentary on board the boat. The itinerary we received stated that at the end of the tour we would disembark in Keri and have time to shop and dine before returning to our hotel. When we questioned why this did not happen we were informed that is the itinerary for the morning trip and that the afternoon trip disembarks at Zante. stopped for swimming twice, we were not interested in, maybe one stop for swimming and one stop for sightseeing would be better

Nice boat trip able to see parts of the island not accessible baby any other means. Obviously it was known it was the wrong time of year to witness the turtles. So many boats around the bay not really surprised that they weren’t seen. A lot of oil in the water which wouldn’t be good for the turtles habitat and the natural ecosystem Not sure about the swim stops maybe just one needed

Bus was late, left waiting in car park on return for almost 30 mind. Not acceptable. German speaking Tui rep, only seemed interested in communicating with her fellow people and not the limited number of English passengers. Should be advertised as a boat cruise with a very small chance of seeing a turtle as we were told by the experts that most had now left the area after laying their eggs.

From the bus trip across the island to the trip on the boat it was fun .We didn't get to see turtles but we saw the caves and flying fish ,the crew were friendly and my husband ( this is Mrs Sealey answer ing the questions) had the most fun swimming in the sea ...he has always been as mad as a barn pot lol ?? . We loved every minute and I liked a bit of rock and roll on the water makes life more interesting ?? so in short we loved it .

Viel zu viele Boote fahren in dieser Gegend herum. Kein Wunder, dass man kaum Schildkröten sieht. Und dann wird einem was vom Schutz der Schildkröten erzählt. Sogar auf Turtle Island selbst waren massig Leute. Die Schwimmplätze waren zu weit draußen, kaum geeignet zum Schnorcheln.

Absolutely zero communication from the driver , everybody stood around not knowing what was going off ! Rep arrived finally and lead us to boat and asked us to line up like children,those that did line up had to wait longer to get on the boat!

Unfortunately the actual Turtles didn't materialize but that's nature for you. The cruise was still a lovely experience and the weather, perfect. The coach to and from the venue was roomy and well air conditioned. Thanks for a great experience

The trip was a big disappointment! Health and safety was non existent. No safety gear available for the swimmers. No loo seats on the toilets and the floors were flooded. And the boat had far too many people on board so where we were sat we couldn’t see anything. The boat was pumping out some nasty fumes. We were surprised that TUI are part of this experience. We have travelled far and wide with TUI and this was the worst. Sort it out!!

Tui-guiden på hotellet beskrev turen annorlunda så jag blev förvånad när det var ett annat upplägg med båtrutten än vi trodde. På båten var det ingen information om att vi inte fick simma in till stranden vid badstoppen. Ett badstopp var det väldigt tråkig havsbotten, bara dött vass så tråkig snorkling. Vi hade fått information innan att båten skulle stanna och avsluta turen vid Laganbukten men nu så fick vi åka buss tillbaka till Lagana. Vi trodde också att vi skulle gå iland på Turtle Isand.

Jeg synes selve turen var godt og afslappende. Det jeg synes var mindre godt, er at båden var stor som gjorde at vi ********** ikke fik mulighed for at se skildpadde svømme ordentligt pga de små både spærrede synet for os så vi ikke kunne rigtig se noget. Vi blev snydt for det. Næste gang burde i overveje mindre både så folk bedre får mulighed for at se skildpadde svømme.

Dear TUI Customer Service, I am writing to formally express my deep disappointment and serious concerns regarding the excursion Turtle Cruise of Marathonisi Island and Keri Peninsula. Unfortunately, this turned out to be the worst organized and most disappointing excursion I have ever experienced.I have documented our experience in detail, as I believe it is important that you are aware of the issues and the risks to both your reputation and your guests. I will inform you briefly by mail!

Thought it rather boring, total 1hr 10 min swim breaks too much. Thought TUI guide abrupt and rude. Too many people on boat, felt unsafe and squeezed in. Guide said at start most of the turtles had already left the area, if so why is it being advertised as a turtle tour?

Vi var på en heldagstur til blue caves og shipwrek beach som var nedtur og reiste på denne i håp om at den skulle være bedre, men tvert i mot. Badestedene kunne ikke vært verre med grumsete vann og kjedelige omgivelser, guiden starter med å fortelle oss at hekkesesongen er over for skilpaddene (vi hadde blitt lokket inn fra TUI guide på hotellet om at det var høysesong for klekking). Guiden påstående snakket dårlig engelsk og forklarte veldig rotete. UTROLIG skuffet og lite verdi for pengene

A really old boat that smelled strongly of gasoline in every corner. The swimming stops were pointless – the first one was literally right next to the harbor full of oil or gasoline stains. The transfer from the hotel was dangerous, we almost crashed into an oncoming car. It feels like a typical tourist trap. Never again.

Two stops for swimming. One in an isolated spot offshore. The other in an area where speedboats were all around us, causing swell making it difficult for weak swimmers. One stop was even in a cove where people were snorkelling!! But we weren’t allowed to get off to join them. We saw beautiful beaches ( not allowed to go near them) needed binoculars. Landed in the town, not enough time to even do a bit of shopping. IMO it was a waste of a days holiday. Never again.

The end of the trip we expected, and were sold the trip on a little time in Keri. We literally had 15 minutes from disembarking to the coach leaving. Taking into account 5 minute walk time to get to the coach for a physically fit family, 10 minutes is simply not enough time! The boat staff, whilst polite and clearly experienced, we did not expect them smoking on the main area of the covered lower deck. Surely the boat team can wait for a cigarette, and this should also include passengers.

Het was een leuke boottocht met veel uitleg. 2 zwemstops waarbij je kon zwemmen in het diepe water rondom de boot. We mochten van de loopbrug afspringen wat echt heel leuk was. En je kon met een trappetje het water in. Schildpadden spotten. En 1 gezien wat leuk was. De grotten van keri kun je beter met een klein bootje bekijken zodat je er ook nog dichterbij kan komen. Nu konden alleen van een afstand bekijken.

Ensinnäkin vene oli buukattu todella täyteen. Kun opas ohjasi katsomaan kilpikonnaa toiselle laidalle, vene keikahti kallelleen. Toisekseen elämystä on mielestäni turhaa markkinoida kilpikonnien varaan, koska se on niin tuurissaan näkeekö niitä ollenkaan. Ja jos näkee, niin sen ympärille tulee muitakin veneitä parveilemaan, mikä taas stressaa eläintä itseään. Elämys on enemmänkin kiertoajelua Zakynthoksen eteläpuolella. Maisemat ovat kauniita ja uintimahdollisuudet kivoja.

After receiving g confirmation that the trip was going ahead despite the fires I was surprised. We were told on the coach no changes to itinerary, However, I knew the area was being used by the planes and that the roads were shut. To then embark and be told twice while on board that we have just had a call and can’t do this element was frankly insulting. It was obvious that the trip could never be fulfilled. A bit of honesty and the chance to rebook or refund would have been the correct thin

Very efficient pick up/drop off and friendly staff. Cruise was lovely with good commentary and two swim stops, but sadly didn’t see any turtles, which seems to be a common theme from speaking to others who have been on “turtle spotting” trips ??

- kindvriendelijk, bv noodles ter beschikking voor kinderen om te zwemmen, lage trap om te water te gaan - rustig, geen luide muziek aan boord, geen partyboot (wat goed is met kinderen) - micro deed het niet perfect - degelijke NL uitleg van de gids over de schildpadden&omgeving - uitleg van Archelon inzake kwetsbaarheid van de schildpadden (eigenlijk tegenstrijdig met deze spotting want het beste is dat er geen schildpadspotting is) - geen agressieve benadering door de kapitein van de schildpad

Tijdens de excursie werd verteld, dat we het belangrijkste onderdeel niet konden ervaren. Vanwege de bosbranden was een vaargedeelte geblokt. Ons inziens was dat al bekend, waardoor ze ons van te voren een alternatief hadden kunnen bieden ipv tijdens de excursie. Dan had men vooraf kunnen bepalen wel of niet mee te gaan.

This is simply a boat trip. The staff were nice. Issues: we had to wait 25 mins for the pickup. There was not much to see. We stopped twice for swimming but there were not the right locations in my view. First stop: nothing to see, no fish, no turtles, no caves, nothing of interest. The second stop was meant to see turtles. We didn't see any. The third stop was for a second swim, which we couldn't do because we stopped in some kind of crude oil area.

Overall very well organised trip. Coach although a little late picked up and dropped off and was very friendly. Tui rep gave a lot of facts when driving along which was good. Boat trip had lovely views but didn’t see turtles which have heard is quite frequent on this trip unfortunately even though is main reason for going First swim stop was lovely and well needed second however they decided to stop where sea was full of fuel. Entered water and came up stained of grease. Some very unhappy ppl!

The location was beautiful, clear blue water, a lovely first swim stop, a great informative guide until the final swim stop at Keri Lake. There the sea was full of what looked and smelt like oil. Our guide assured us that this was a natural occurrence and that it was perfectly safe to swim but it was extremely off putting. Maybe instead of this stop, a better alternative would be a little time for a drink or snack in Keri before the bus back.

Myself and my two daughters had a great time on this trip & managed to see a couple of turtles. Thoroughly enjoyed throughout. Would definitely consider coming back in the future. The guide was also very knowledgeable & such a lovely girl.

Bus was late there and was late picking us up, the way back the driving was reckless and took double the time meaning we missed lunch, The tour is less turtle focused than advertised.

Was not impressed with 5 boats circling one turtle. Horrified infant. We saw a turtle for 10 seconds so not sure how you can sell it as a turtle curse. Kerry island was lovely however a swim in an oil slick was not.

Eerst zag het naar uit dat we geen schildpadden zouden zien maar dat is dan toch gelukt . Iedereen tevreden! Wel erg toeristisch. Plezante zwenstops . Alleen bij die 2 de stop moesten we letterlijk tussen de diesel / olie van onze boot zwemmen. Wat minder aangenaam was.
