Excellent boat trip to...
Excellent boat trip to see the shipwreck and the blue caves. Included 2 swimming stops in the unbelievably blue water. Kostas was a great skipper. Very good value!
via Viator
Amazing trip. Recommended
The whole trip from start to finish was well organised even helping with where to park. We had Kostas as our captain and he was great. Spoke excellent English and very knowledgable about the area and the sights and all whilst manoeuvring skilfully around the bigger waves to ensure a smoother ride. We saw the shipwreck close up, took the boat into caves and gave us a couple of opportunities to swim in the bright blue water. As well as looking after his own passengers he was also taking care of others swimming in the sea when some young lads were driving their boat in a dangerous, crazy way. The whole trip was so smooth, beautiful and very relaxing. It didn’t feel rushed at all and we had a great time. Would definitely recommend!!

Lovely morning on the Ionian Sea
This was a beautiful 2.5 hours on the sea. The water is stunning. Be aware that Navagio bay is a tourist hot spot and full of boats. You also cannot get on the beach or swim there anymore. The blue caves were beautiful, if you want the full experience, make sure you are in a very small boat. Take a snorkel and mask for the swim around the cave area! Do not go on the boat trip if you get sea sick. It may look like really still water, but the number of boats out, makes it more choppy (one man on our boat didn’t get that memo!)
via Viator
Scenic coast, great swimming stops with swims inside the blue caves and cliffs jumping
I enjoyed more this cruise with departure from Agios Nikolaos and heading to Navaggio beach than the similar one from Porto Vromi. You see more of the coast, you see the actual rather than the “local” blue caves and the captain, Costas, is a blast. The swimming stops are nice in both cruises, but the one at the blue caves is spectacular, swimming 30 meters inside a blue cavern with a one foot ceiling in places is exhilarating.

Great day out on the sea...
Great day out on the sea in a way to see a few caves, history, and a little swimming between points.

Zakynthos Blue Caves and Navagio bay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zakynthos.
How much does Zakynthos Blue Caves and Navagio bay cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Zakynthos Blue Caves and Navagio bay take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Zakynthos Blue Caves and Navagio bay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 121 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 Zakynthos Blue Caves and Navagio bay?
+
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 Zakynthos Blue Caves and Navagio bay suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zakynthos Blue Caves and Navagio bay?
+
Around 42 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zakynthos Blue Caves and Navagio bay 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.
What is included in Zakynthos Blue Caves and Navagio bay?

Where is the meeting point for Zakynthos Blue Caves and Navagio bay?
+

What languages is Zakynthos Blue Caves and Navagio bay offered in?
+
