Mesmerizing time on the Ionian Sea 🌊
The experience was amazing and we enjoyed the shipwreck island, blue caves and the lunch at Nikoloas, Zakynthos. They even had a wonderful second stop for us to enjoy a nice swim on our return to Poros port. The staff are extremely friendly and wonderful people who took great care of the guests on their boat/yatch. I highly recommend them.

My trip was terrible. When we arrived to Shipwreck Beach, I was on the side of the boat and about to take a picture when a large object came flying at me. It was one of the seat cushions from the front of the boat which was not securely fastened. It could have knocked me into the water. Fortunately it did not, but it did knock my iphone out of my hand and into the water. The crew apologized, but did nothing to help compensate me for this horrible and unsafe experience. Barely any shade available the boat, and seating was limited. Inside was unbearably hot. At no point were we shown lifejackets. Would NOT recommend.
Response from the operator: We’re sorry to hear that a flying seat cushion ruined your entire day — and your phone. While we understand how surprising a gust of wind can be, we do want to clarify that random acts of nature, such as wind lifting an object, are outside our control and certainly don’t make us responsible for where you were holding your phone at the time. For the record, all our boats meet strict safety standards, life jackets are always on board (stored visibly or under seats), and cushions are secured — though unfortunately, we can’t control the weather or how tightly guests hold their devices while leaning over the side for the perfect photo. We are, however, glad to hear you managed to get a new phone quickly — and still had time to leave us a review. All the best on your future adventures.

Excellent tour
We had a wonderful day with Zante cruises. Lovely comfortable boat captained by man with 40 years experience and only 20 people on board. We thoroughly enjoyed the Shipwreck Beach, Blue Caves, and swimming opportunities from the back of the boat. They had pool noodles and life jackets for anyone who was not a strong swimmer to give everyone a chance to enjoy the experience. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear you had a wonderful day with us and enjoyed the comfort of our boat, the stunning sights of Shipwreck Beach and the Blue Caves, and the swimming stops. Our experienced captain and small group size are part of what we believe makes the experience truly special, and we're so glad that came through in your trip. We also appreciate your kind words about the safety equipment—we want everyone to feel comfortable and included. Thank you again for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you aboard again soon!

Zante Cruise to Blue Caves and Shipwreck Beach Photo stop: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cephalonia.
How much does Zante Cruise to Blue Caves and Shipwreck Beach Photo stop cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cephalonia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Zante Cruise to Blue Caves and Shipwreck Beach Photo stop take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Cephalonia is not rushed.
Is Zante Cruise to Blue Caves and Shipwreck Beach Photo stop worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 66 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cephalonia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Zante Cruise to Blue Caves and Shipwreck Beach Photo stop?
+
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 Zante Cruise to Blue Caves and Shipwreck Beach Photo stop suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zante Cruise to Blue Caves and Shipwreck Beach Photo stop?
+
Around 23 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 Cephalonia 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 Cephalonia and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zante Cruise to Blue Caves and Shipwreck Beach Photo stop 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 Cephalonia 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 Cephalonia?
+
On Outty we rank every Cephalonia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include "Dreamy cruise"Daily Cruise from Argostoli harbour with a traditional Greek boat, "QueenBee" Full-Day Boat Trip with Lunch, Kefalonia Island Bus Tour- Wine Tasting, Melissani & Fiscardo. 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 Cephalonia?
+
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 Cephalonia?
+
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.
