What to expect
Surround yourself with the beauty of Ionian nature on this half-day cruise geared for children. You'll sail past Marathonisi Island, anchoring up for swimming along the way, before gaining an insight into local conservation efforts. Kay, one of our guides, says, ‘We love to show everyone this beautiful place and maybe spot a turtle to understand why and how we protect our environment. It's a fun tour, which makes sustainability visible.'You'll cast off from Agios Sostis, sailing past pine-clad Marathonisi Island in Laganas Bay. This uninhabited islet is nicknamed ‘Turtle Island' because its beaches are a favourite nesting site for loggerheads. Kids will love this one, too – there'll be activities aimed at teaching them more about turtle conservation. They'll also learn about respecting the island's environment, protecting it from litter.Next, you'll swing by the Oasis sea cave for a swim stop before heading closer to the island. We'll drop anchor once more for an extra dose of snorkelling. Remember to keep an eye on the water for signs of loggerhead turtles and dolphins. What's more, the boat has an integrated sewage drainage system, so nothing harms the sea.

We were lucky we spotted 3 turtles, the poor things were surrounded by numerous boats and had nowhere to go! Only half an hour turtling before taken for two half hour swimming stops which is quite boring if not swimming. Definitely more of a swim stop and drop than anything else. Should be two separate trips

Mooi avontuur, schitterende foto's gemaakt, alleen reisleidster waren slecht te verstaan. Sprak met dialect en nasaal. Men adverteert met bezoek aan schildpadden eiland, maar je mag niet op het eiland zelf komen. Volkomen reglementair maar dat zouden bij het boeken van deze trip, wel moeten vermelden

We paid to go turtle spotting which we did for about 15 minutes, ( we did see 2 turtles) we were told there would be a chance to swim but most of the trip was about swimming, if we had been told this we wouldn’t have gone just to sit and wait while others swam , very misleading not worth the money we paid just to sit on a boat . Not impressed, would not recommend

Överfull båt, fanns inte plats att sitta ens, grinig guide, sköldpaddstur? Enda vi såg var en sköldpadda i hamnen, dagens höjdpunkt, kunde ha stannat på land.. sedan åkte man runt lite bara och stannade och badade två ggr. Guiden talade engelska i högtalare, vi hörde inget av vad hon sade. INTE värt pengarna någonstans.

Jos matkaa markkinoidaan merikilpikonna risteilynä, olisi kiva että mentäisiin sellaisiin paikkoihin joissa niitä voisi näkyä tai pesimäpaikoille. Nyt tämä retki jäi enemmän kahden kerran uinti reissuksi ja kerrotaan kilpikonnista. Että en mainostaisi kilpikonna risteilynä tätä retkeä, vaikka tekstissä lukee että saattaa nähdä. Voisiko sitten olla sellainen kamera veneessä joka näyttäisi merenalta kuvaa joissa kilpikonnat ehkä näkyä

The tour itself was fantastic, the swim spots were great. It felt very overcrowded, I think crowd control could be better managed, for example older people, people with disabilities & families with buggies should be catered for downstairs. Others should be encouraged to go upstairs. Was also disappointed to see people smoking on the boat, particularly downstairs with lots of young kids

Enjoyable experience on the whole (got to see one turtle under the surface of the water but not much in the way of water safety though (life jackets would have been a great addition for little ones). Wasn’t told refreshments were available on board before the trip. Couldn’t clearly hear our tour guide all the time. Wasn’t aware of siren to indicate end of each swim stop until it happened.

Was sold the experience as though we would get to swim with the turtles. We saw one whilst on the boat. Was also told that water wasn’t deep as my kids can’t swim, when we got there it was deep water. So we ended up staying on the boat the entire time, and not seeing any turtles. I felt like we were missold the experience. I could have used the €108 on something else much more suited to my children, as both are autistic and this didn’t suit at all

Our Turtle Cruise itself was very enjoyable, but the arrival was poorly organised, with large coaches trying to squeeze down an unsuitable road and into an overcrowded car park, causing congestion and delays. We can only assume this was why the cruise felt shorter than advertised, with just one swim stop instead of the two that were promised

The roads are not made for large coaches and so we sat for an hour just trying to get into a tiny and very busy port car park. It was not safe for small children and very busy and dusty with strong exhaust fumes. Given the turtles need protecting it was sad to see how many boat frantically swarmed over them just to get a picture. It felt very wrong with lots of small boats crashing into eachother. The swim stop was also busy with boats making g the water unsafe for younger children

And we only had one stop when promised two stops because of time as late as we couldn’t get on the bay because it was packed and very very disorganised and very disorganised leaving the driver was very angry

Seemed cruel having 4 boats surrounding one turtle. Bus was prompt. But dropped off at location by bus driver with no instructions and no tour guide. Wondered around for 20 minutes not sure where to go and how on earth I was going to get back with 2 young kids so that was stressful. Tour guide eventually found us all - but only when one of the group called. Tour guide was however very nice. Going out to the caves and having a swim spot in the ocean was lovely though.

Sadly we didn’t see any turtles or dolphins, obviously not TUIs fault it was just disappointing but the scenery, the information about the turtles and landscape were brilliant. The coach ride there however was awful. It was over 10 mins late and then the journey took an hour when it should’ve taken about 25 mins. The driver put on VERY loud music and took and made phone calls while his phone was still connected to the speakers. We were late for the boat. Not good.

I was looking forward to this trip, however I wouldn't recommend it. To start the hotel TUI staff member literally had no idea about it and didn't seem to care, the bus was an hour late and the driver did not speak any of the languages of the guests then he got lost. The TUI guide on the boat had an argument with the smaller boats and out of desperation to see a turtle the boat hounded a single turtle distressing it. It did not feel about conservation more about money

Unfortunately not as advertised. We booked a family friendly cruise over the normal one, because we had a 5 year old with us and wanted to keep him entertained. Cruise was advertised as having activities to keep the children entertained but there were no activities at all. The guide was giving a tour, but could not be heard over the speaker. Also a shame that the swim stops didn't go right up to sand, so nervous children could paddle instead of swim in the ocean. Not as expected.

Well, we saw some turtles, albeit from a distance. The swim stops were great but not much sign of safety and security if any average swimmers were to get into difficulty (left to parents I guess). Some of the scenery was spectacular and worth the trip. The chat from the experts was very informative.

An enjoyable 3 hour boat trip which travelled from Agios Sostis and around turtle island and the southern point of Keri, which included 2 swim stops. We were fortunate to see 2 turtles in Laganas bay. The boat and crew were very protective not to stress the turtles which some smaller boats did not follow the recommended guideline. TUI rep was very informative and a talk from volunteers from Apxeaon (Greek turtle protection)completed a lovely sunny Sunday morning

Wat een aanfluiting. Ze hadden het beter boottocht met zwemstops kunnen noemen. 1 schilpad op afstand gezien en verder niks. Ook geen moeite gedaan om een schildpad te zoeken,geen extra stop bijvoorbeeld. We gingen gewoon verder met de boottocht met 2 zwemstops. Zonde van het geld want zwemmen in de zee hadden we ook op eigen gelegenheid kunnen doen en was met zeker geen 72 euro waard.

The trip described stopping in the village keri to have free time however this did not happen and we had to make our way straight to the boat, as for the rest of the trip it was brilliant my only concern is that the second swim stop is not safe the first swim stop was fine however the second swim stop took place on the side of the island where alot of water sports take place meaning the sea is of course a lot rougher a lot of people struggled to make there way back and get back onto the boat

Linja-autossa olisimme kuulleet mieluusti heti matkan ohjelman ja menomatkan reitin aikoineen. Lähtö satamassa linja-autosta oli sekavaa. Laivamatka kaikkineen oli hyvä. Satamasta lähtö oli taas erittäin huonosti johdettu. Yksi opas ei yksinkertaisesti riitä. Lisäksi mieleen painettu bussin numero oli 206, eikä 306, mikä meille kerrottiin.

Der var ikke en plads til alle de betalende gæster hverken i bussen eller på båden. Turen var simpelthen oversolgt og det gjorde også at sikkerheden i bussen og på båden var lig 0. Ingen kunne høre guiden ombord og der lugtede af toilet/ menneskelort på hele sejlturen. Turen skulle have været en familietur/ børnevenlig men der var intet for børn. Vi vil bestemt ikke anbefale denne tur til nogle familier.

De verwachting aan de voorkant beter managen. Het was een hele grote boot met veel mensen, dat was niet van te voren gezegd. Het voelt daardoor niet als een ontspannen boottochtje. Daarnaast als er een schildpad wordt gezien, blijft de boot daar aardig lang rondjes omheen draaien, met andere bootjes. Lijkt me niet heel goed voor de schildpadden en je ruikt daardoor de hele tijd diesel lucht. De uitleg van de gids was prima, maar vaak onverstaanbaar. Al met al ik zou dit niet boeken.

A little disappointed that the only turtle we saw was the show off semi tame one in the harbour. Obviously the wrong time of the year but that was our fault for not researching it. The commentary was a bit difficult to understand as the TUI reps accent was quite strong. The boat crew were very pleasant and very watchful when people were swimming. Overall an enjoy trip. Super spots for swimming.

The guide could not be heard from the front of the boat so about 20 of us did not hear anything the entire boat ride as there was no space elsewhere. I didn't realise the one turtle we found would be hounded by 7 boats. I thought we would just see them from afar and observe them. I felt sorry for it rather than grateful to see one in the wild.

Enjoyed the trip, two snorkelling stops and plenty of time to take photos of the turtles on the way back. Need to be a confident swimmer, although we bought a life jacket for our child and there were little steps for them to safely get into the sea. Snacks and drinks on board were reasonably priced. Couldn’t really hear the tour guide over the speaker system but was given very clear instructions about coach transfer back to hotel. Would definitely recommend.

Pick up was great and in time. Guide joined us at pick up and explained everything. Cruise was lovely and a good length of time. We did manage to see turtles in the bay which was lovely and the captain turned the boat around so everyone got to see it (people did all rush to one side and the boat lent slightly!). Two good swimming stops though it was busy with other boats. If you have little ones I would take a floatation device even if they are good swimmers.

The trip was great. Picked up from the hotel and taken to the harbour. Decent sized boat, got to see turtles as we left and had great opportunity to go swimming a couple of times. Take a snorkel and also take some bread. Feeding the fish whilst swimming was great for the kids to see the fish so close

Enjoyed the whole experience. We saw a few turtles, the boat spent quite a bit of time so you could take photos of the turtles and the swim stops were fun.

We saw one turtle briefly. However, the snorkelling was brilliant. You need to include what you need to take before you fly out. I read some reviews which said about taking cash. However, a can of coke is £5! You also get your photo taken as you board, which was wasn’t expecting and again you need cash for this.

Coach pick up went smoothly although lots of busses all leaving at the same time was a little confusing. Boat was lovely we saw a few turtles lurking in the water and a couple of heads poking up. Highlight was the swim stops where you can snorkel off the boat in quite deep crystal clear water. Lots of fish but water very cold! Back at the harbour there's a fisherman who feeds a turtle next to his boat. It lives in the harbour and we got a great up close look and photos.

Myself & wife along with our 4 year daughter. Really enjoyed the boat trip to see the turtles. We were able to see 2 turtles & the swim stops in the sea was really enjoyable. in some lovely scenery and visited by the seal. Why we were swimming. My daughter also got a complimentary bandana of boat crew to look like a little pirate why on our experience. We Would strongly recommend this trip as a family.

Too expensive, realised you can book cheaper with a local company. Tour a bit too long, swimming stops should be 20 mins max. One stop was close to an hour. For children not the best.
