Stop near the Keri Caves area and Turtle Island to enjoy a refreshing swim.

Bask in the sun on the sun deck, or choose to relax in the shaded seating area.

Set off for Zakynthos, Greece, and embark on a healing journey to a hidden blue‑sea paradise. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, venture deep into the Zakynthos Marine Park in Laganas Bay. Board a special glass‑bottom boat to peer through the crystal‑clear waters and unlock the underwater romance of the Ionian Sea. Get up close to the marine spirits — the loggerhead sea turtles — explore the caves and island scenery hidden along the coast, and fully enjoy the pure pleasures of a seaside holiday.

The tour sets sail from the meeting point in Laganas aboard a smooth and comfortable glass‑bottom boat. The transparent glass bottom of the boat allows you, without the need to dive, to take in the stunning underwater scenery — shoals of fish darting by, corals swaying, showcasing the vibrant vitality of the marine ecosystem. During the cruise, you can choose your preferred way to relax: embrace the warm sea breeze on the sun deck while soaking in the azure views, or sit quietly in the shaded area, leisurely enjoying the slow‑paced time at sea.

The boat slowly sails into the core area of the marine park, the most precious natural habitat of the loggerhead sea turtle. If you are lucky, you will see the adorable loggerhead sea turtles paddling slowly and gliding freely, appreciating the graceful beauty of marine life. The boat then anchors in the waters near the Keri Caves. The unique natural sea‑eroded caves are a masterpiece of nature, with clear and translucent waters. Dive into the cool sea for a swim and immerse yourself in the embrace of the blue sea, washing away the fatigue of your journey.

Continuing onward, you will arrive at the world‑famous Turtle Island, Marathonisi. This pristine island is the core hidden gem of the marine park. Its soft, fine white sandy beaches surround the coast, with shallow, crystal‑clear waters revealing the seabed. The layered shades of blue seawater are truly healing. Explore the island's giant natural caves, marvel at the natural wonders carved by the waves, and take another refreshing swim in the blue sea, enjoying the cool and comfortable embrace of the water.

As the journey draws to a close, make a brief stop at the stunning beach of Marathonisi and savour the undisturbed tranquillity of the island. This glass‑bottom boat tour combines turtle watching, cave exploration, seaside swimming, and island roaming, allowing you to deeply appreciate the blue‑sea scenery of Zakynthos and encounter the purest romance of the Mediterranean.
