Keri Caves
First Stop will be at Keri Caves - Amazing place First Stop for Swimming Kerì Caves, accessible only by sea with private boats or our excursions, develop along the promontory of Marathia Cape, in the South-West area of the island. Along the coast there are many caves which entrances scarcely suffice to get in swimming, others are broad enough to enter directly with a boat. It is very easy to reach the caves that are surmounted by cliffs where the sea is very deep and as such reachable.

Laganas
Turtle Spotting: Starting with Turtles Spotting just out in the Laganas Bay The Caretta Caretta Turtle is a specimen still living in the Mediterranean and it is possible to meet it there since it spawns along the beaches of the Laganas Gulf. They can have considerable dimensions (the largest weights 140 kg. and measures circa 120 cm whereas the smallest measures 80 cm.) but, in spite of this, they are very fast. Thanks to the big anterior and the stiff posterior fins they can reach 30km/hour and so protect themselves from possible dangers.

Great experience

Wondeeful boat trip
It was an absolutely wonderful boat tour with a fantastic captain. The instructions regarding the meeting point and the tour arrangements were clear and precise. The captain was great and even showed us turtles surfacing from the water. We highly recommend this experience!

Breathtaking experience
Great experience, the guide knew exactly where to take us , we saw some beautiful caves with the most clearest water where we was aloud to swim for a certain amount of time , he always slowed the boat down for photos and made sure everyone felt very comfortable , we went past Camino island and headed towards turtle island were we stopped for 1 hour with a lovely beach and a perfect opportunity to do some snorkelling, the island had a little food stand where you could get ice cream and beverages.Once the hour was up we had a nice slow trip back to the port. Definitely recommend this trip as it’s a great price and a great guide, will be doing this again when next in Greece

Just the very basics...
There was nothing special to see. Marathonisi beach was just an ordinary beach. Maybe, because of the very windy weather we could not see the alleged crystal clear waters. And if you want to see more interesting sea caves better prefer the ones at the north of the island, near the shipwreck beach.

It was ok
Arrival was chaos. Huge queue, panics that there wasn't enough space on the boat. Another one thankfully arrived. Once on the boat, we were taken to the 1st stop. We were informed we would be there for 1.5 hours, which on the face of it was good, however in the blistering August heat with no shade, it wasn't ideal with young children. We then spent the last 30 mins going to see some caves a 5 minute dip off the boat and 5 mins to see the sea turtle. Both guides were great although the company's arrangements were chaotic. It was more like a ferry service We would recommend it but with the 3 hours fairly spaces out

3 Hours Marathonissi Island Tour, Keri Caves and Turtles Spotting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zakynthos.
How much does 3 Hours Marathonissi Island Tour, Keri Caves and Turtles Spotting cost?
+
Prices start at $28 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zakynthos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Hours Marathonissi Island Tour, Keri Caves and Turtles Spotting take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zakynthos is not rushed.
Is 3 Hours Marathonissi Island Tour, Keri Caves and Turtles Spotting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 73 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zakynthos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Hours Marathonissi Island Tour, Keri Caves and Turtles Spotting?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 Hours Marathonissi Island Tour, Keri Caves and Turtles Spotting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Hours Marathonissi Island Tour, Keri Caves and Turtles Spotting?
+
Around 26 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zakynthos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zakynthos and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Hours Marathonissi Island Tour, Keri Caves and Turtles Spotting start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zakynthos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zakynthos?
+
On Outty we rank every Zakynthos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ceramic Making Experience in Zakynthos, Half-Day Greek Cooking Class of Zakynthian Culture with Lunch, Zakynthos Turtle Tour Small Group Turtle Spotting & Turtle Island. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zakynthos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zakynthos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
