What to expect
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.

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.

Transfer till/från upplevelsen som ingick var i vårt fall en taxi. Kan såklart kännas lyxigt, men vi hade en 5-åring med (vilket framgår när man bokar då man ska uppge personnummer) - och ingen av bilarna till/från hade bilstol för barn bokat. Väl framme för upplevelse blev vi avsläppta utan info eller någon som tog emot. Efter att ha frågat runt olika butiker och aktörer hittade vi tack och lov rätt innan avfärd (som var 45 min efter transfer-avsläpp...). Själva båtfärden dock var magisk!

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
