Had a nice day - Because our booked trip was canceled at the last minute, we didn't know what to do. We stood on Zante Sun's doorstep with our rented bicycles. He told us that we could leave our bikes with him. Upon request we could also make the desired tour with him. Even cheaper than our canceled trip. The tour continued for 20 euros. We had to get in immediately. Very well organized and we had a great time. Super nice employees. And indeed not pushy at all.

Fantastic experience - Captain Pedro knows how to find the turtles every time, and is the most enthusiastic when he sees them again! The swimmers are wonderful, especially those at the bay. Marathonisi is very touristy.

Look for Best of Zante not Zante sun - Staff friendly and informative, saw 2 turtles, loved the caves too. Was a little choppy but a fun trip. Needed to be more clearly signed on where to meet boat as we waited at zante sun flags but boat actually went from a different location"best of Zante"

Recommended! Nice and nice skipper! - Awesome!! The skipper really made it something extra. After not seeing a turtle right away, he didn't give up and gave us a nice experience. Still spotted one!

Horrible. They dint turn up - The tour provider didn't turn up. Didn't even message me if the tour got cancelled. Drove an hour to reach the pickup point and no one was there. I would not recommend this trip, be very careful before booking this trip

Rispettate le tartarughe - I would like to start by saying that the staff and service were excellent, regarding the Keri Caves and Marathonisi Island. As for the turtle sighting, I regretted having chosen this excursion, I thought they were respected as they deserve, and instead before leaving the port we chase the same poor turtle with 4/5 boats and more (at least ours it was 12 people but other competing services were boats full of tourists). The shameful thing is that the poor animal is put at risk, and some boats even have a "vocalist" who does the countdown on the turtle's breathing, inciting the customers, truly ignoble. This service should be rendered in silence out of respect for the life of the animal with non-polluting sailboats, I am ashamed of having been an accomplice to this massacre. Zakynthos is a paradise, but in this way it is being destroyed. I hope with this message to convince you NOT to have this bad experience.
