    What you'll see and do

    1. Xigia Beach

      The first stop is Xigia Beach, one of the most unique beaches on the island. Famous for its natural sulfur springs flowing directly from a sea cave, the water feels like a natural spa. Guests will have approximately 20 minutes to swim and enjoy the crystal-clear turquoise water.

      20 minutes here

    2. The tour then continues to Kremidi, a small hidden bay unknown to most tourists. Even during high season, the area remains peaceful and almost private. Guests can swim here for around 20 minutes surrounded by untouched nature and spectacular scenery.

      20 minutes here

    3. After the swim stops, the boat heads toward the famous Blue Caves. Thanks to the reduced dimensions of the boat, the captain can navigate inside the caves and show guests the incredible reflections and bright blue colours created by the sunlight on the water.

      25 minutes here

    4. Sunset Aperitif The final and most magical part of the experience takes place just outside the northern tip of Zakynthos. Here the boat stops to admire the sunset as the sun slowly disappears into the Ionian Sea. During the sunset, guests are served an aperitivo onboard with Italian prosecco, water, Coca Cola and chips. This is the perfect moment for photos, relaxation and unforgettable views.

    Nice experience

    Excursion booked with Yotomu (TOP) of the three excursions booked, one to the south Marathonissi, Mizithres & Eros Cave, one on the west coast (Navagio), this one to the east is the least beautiful in terms of places and views, but the ticket price is worth it when watching the sunset, a moment enjoyed in absolute silence, meditation, and relaxation.

    An experience to absolutely do

    Spectacular boat tour with breathtaking views of the northeast coast of Zakynthos, with a visit to the sulfurous waters of Xigia and stops for swims in waters with very cold and invigorating currents. Once you reach the far northeast, it is possible to enjoy an unforgettable panorama with a suggestive and exciting sunset. One of the excursions not to be missed at all.

    Unforgettable sunset boat tour – The captain made it extraordinary! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    We took the sunset boat tour from Alykes to Cape Skinari and it was hands down a wonderful experience! The locations were absolutely breathtaking, but what truly made this trip unforgettable was our amazing captain. He went above and beyond for us, steering the boat inside every single cave we encountered along the way. On top of that, he was incredibly generous with his time—he even exceeded the scheduled tour duration just so we could watch the sun fully set and admire the stunning colors of the landscape at dusk. A truly magical tour with marvelous sights, made extra special by a phenomenal captain. Highly recommended!

    An experience to have!!

    We left at 6:00 PM from the port of Alikos, initially we went to the wrong point and immediately wrote to the yotomu customer service via WhatsApp, which quickly got in touch with us and contacted the captain about our arrival. Once we arrived, Captain Vasilis immediately made us feel at ease! He created a pleasant atmosphere and was very accommodating in stopping at the most scenic spots to take photos. After 3 bathroom stops and visiting some points along the way, we were served excellent Italian prosecco with a sunset view and some chips. Great price considering the tour plus the aperitif! Recommended for experiencing something different!

    Zakynthos Sunset Boat Tour to Blue Caves, Swim Stops and Aperitif: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Zakynthos Sunset Boat Tour to Blue Caves, Swim Stops and Aperitif cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 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 Sunset Boat Tour to Blue Caves, Swim Stops and Aperitif 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 Zakynthos Sunset Boat Tour to Blue Caves, Swim Stops and Aperitif worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Sunset Boat Tour to Blue Caves, Swim Stops and Aperitif?

    +

    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 Sunset Boat Tour to Blue Caves, Swim Stops and Aperitif 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 Zakynthos Sunset Boat Tour to Blue Caves, Swim Stops and Aperitif?

    +

    Around 2 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 Zakynthos Sunset Boat Tour to Blue Caves, Swim Stops and Aperitif 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 Sunset Boat Tour to Blue Caves, Swim Stops and Aperitif?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Zakynthos Sunset Boat Tour to Blue Caves, Swim Stops and Aperitif?

    +

    Please arrive 20 minutes before Boat name : Golden Dolphin Alikes piers Coorodnate: 37°50'31.8"N 20°46'15.7"E Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
