    Made our trip

    This tour was wonderful. I would highly recommend it. My husband and I were traveling for a honeymoon and we were trying to decide. We definitely wanted to go see the blue caves and we definitely wanted to see the shipwreck, but we signed up for this one which included a couple of other sites and it was well worth it. We saw the oldest olive tree we went to a farm. We went to the Sulphur Beach. It was all amazing. Our tour guide. Sabina was amazing and our driver Pavlos was wonderful too. I cannot say enough good things about this we were not really feeling this island that much. We had traveled to Naxos and Paros before and we were not that impressed with Zackynthos but after this tour, it helped us see a completely different part of the island and we saw the value in Zakynthos because of this tour so it really did make our trip. Most beautiful water in Greece and there is a part of the island that is reminiscent of Italy.

    Total con

    The guides were very helpful and pleasant as well as knowledgeable. The coach part of the tour can be a little arduous and not too spectacular. What’s really annoying is if you believe you are booking a board tour with your VIP shipwreck ticket then don’t be fooled, indeed you will be ushered into a boat that is far from VIP and once that is over and you’re back on the coach last photo opportunity spot they come out asking you for €25 each for the boat trip you already thought you’d paid for. If you go back on your voucher there’s some misguided small print that you think is related to hiring the boat for a private party when in actual fact it’s relating to your trip. They demand you pay up in cash right away. Totally underhand because at any point before you boarded the boat they could have alerted you to the fact that it is an additional charge you had not accounted for. The boat tour operators that smart holidays are in conjunction with are Abba Travel. I will never use them again.

    Response from the operator: Sorry for the misunderstanding. There are many people that book from different platforms, SOME OF THEM have additional fees to pay and the guides can be mislead. We are very sorry about the incident and we apologize deeply.

    Zakynthos: Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves Guided Boat Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zakynthos.

    How much does Zakynthos: Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves Guided Boat Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $59 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: Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves Guided Boat Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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: Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves Guided Boat Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 17 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: Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves Guided Boat Tour?

    +

    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: Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves Guided Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Zakynthos: Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves Guided Boat Tour?

    +

    Around 6 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Zakynthos: Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves Guided Boat Tour 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: Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves Guided Boat Tour?

    +

    Included: BOAT TRIP; GST (Goods and Services Tax); and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Zakynthos: Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves Guided Boat Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 200 listed pickup locations in and around Zakynthos. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Zakynthos: Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves Guided Boat Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Greek and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +

    Is Zakynthos: Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves Guided Boat Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Zakynthos: Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves Guided Boat Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
