Pleasant trip
Very smooth with plenty of stops to take photos and a stop for swimming, unfortunately didn’t get to see the shipwreck as the wind was too bad at that side of the island ( probably would have ended up a shipwreck ourselves ). Captain did go just into the rough seas to show us and it was very very choppy so he did the right thing
via Viator
Nice day out
Lovely day out but picture misleading as you cannot go on shipwreck beach and no coffee shop stop as advertised but still enjoyed the day
via Viator
Enjoyable but alittle crowded
The boat was very crowded (maybe due to the strong winds and swell on the previous days resulting in postponements into this day??) . The lower deck was too low to be able to see the sights comfortably without standing. The 2 swims were wonderful and very enjoyable. A great way to see the beaches and caves. Overall a good experience that could have been exceptional with fewer people.
via Tripadvisor
Fabulous bus & boat trip, highly recommend.
We had a great trip & driver was so nice & helpful, he really wanted us to enjoy the day. He made extra stops to pretty harbours, had a paddle in the beautiful clear water there, he stopped at view points / toilet stop & a quick visit to monastery and on way back after boat trip we stopped at a local farm for cuddles with baby goats. The boat trip was absolutely stunning, such beautiful scenery, water amazing colours & so clear, had 2 swim stops & Captain fun too. Pick up & Drop off at hotel was seamless and Happy Days tour operator kept in touch via tripadvisor app. A lovely day!

Zakynthos VIP Above & Beyond Shipwreck & Blue Caves Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zakynthos.
How much does Zakynthos VIP Above & Beyond Shipwreck & Blue Caves Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $29 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 VIP Above & Beyond Shipwreck & Blue Caves Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 VIP Above & Beyond Shipwreck & Blue Caves Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 13 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 VIP Above & Beyond Shipwreck & Blue Caves 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 VIP Above & Beyond Shipwreck & Blue Caves Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zakynthos VIP Above & Beyond Shipwreck & Blue Caves Tour?
+
Around 5 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zakynthos VIP Above & Beyond Shipwreck & Blue Caves 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 VIP Above & Beyond Shipwreck & Blue Caves Tour?
+

Does Zakynthos VIP Above & Beyond Shipwreck & Blue Caves Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 354 listed pickup locations in and around Zakynthos. Be ready about 50 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Zakynthos VIP Above & Beyond Shipwreck & Blue Caves Tour offered in?
+
