Zakynthos Shipwreck & Blue Caves: Unforgettable Cruise

What an amazing day! We had an absolutely wonderful trip and later on the lunch at the restaurant was tasteful and delicious!

We found this tour quite disappointing. It cost us £84 and It took longer travelling to it (2 hours) than the actual boat trip itself (roughly 1 hour). The shipwreck was in 3 separate bits, not as intact as all the pictures show it to advertise it and not really worth the cost. The cove itself was lovely though with crystal clear blue water. Your not allowed on the beach due to safety reasons which is understandable and wasn't an issue for us. Not a trip I would do again.

Such an amazing day, not only did we see the beautiful sights around the whole Island of Zante coastline. We had 3 beautiful swim stops in crystal clear waters. The atmosphere on Pirate style ship was amazing. Fantastic music and dancing with lovely food on offer. One minor thing is to make sure you have cash as once out at sea they have no use of card machine facilities so cash is a must for food and drinks on board! An amazing day had by both adults and children alike!

What an amazing day! We were at sea for about 8 hours and saw the most breathtaking views and blues sea! We travelled the whole way around the island and had 3 swim stops which were absolutely beautiful and relaxing! One of our friends lost a (very expensive!) bracelet and one of the crew didn’t hesitate to jump in when we spotted it on the sea floor!! Absolute kudos to that man! Plenty of drink and snacks aboard to keep you fuelled and a fab atmosphere!

We signed up to do this tour and they changed the pickup location three times the night before our tour which was fine, but also slightly annoying to have them calling several times while out to dinner. The next day we showed up to where they said they would pick us up and we were there 15 minutes early. We waited for an hour and 15 minutes and they never showed up. While we were waiting I emailed the tour operator, messaged them through Viator, called the number that called me the night before, and called the number listed on the site and received no response for 30 minutes. When I finally did receive a response they said just wait we will be there soon. I waited for another 20 minutes before asking when and they responded with soon. They never showed up and we left because we didn't want to waste our trip. I asked for a refund and later that day they said they couldn't refund me and tried to blame the whole pickup thing on me by saying that they came to the hotel but we weren't there and I reminded them that they told us to go to the grocery store. They also said they sent a taxi for us but we waited there for over an hour and there was not a taxi in sight. They said they could take us on the half day cruise on a speedboat instead of a refund. We reluctantly agreed. The pickup on the second time was much smoother. The half day cruise does the same stops just for a shorter period which honestly was better in my opinion. The seas were very rough the day we went and they didn't have enough seating for everyone so some people had to sit on folding chairs and plastic deck chairs. An elderly gentleman was sitting in one and it fell and he looked like he got hurt. I would not recommend this excursion to anyone but if you do decide to book it, book the half day, not the full day. Smugglers cove was extremely busy and not that cool in my opinion and the swim stop was nice, but not necessary. Depending on your group size, I would recommend renting a private boat because it is very reasonable and you can visit the same sites for however long you wish.

Definitely a worthwhile excision. Beautiful sights, amazing boat, lovely staff and an all round beautiful experience. The bar was great with a good selection of food and drink at reasonable prices. A few things to improve though. Loud music blasting the entire day. 9am-6pm constant loud music. They need to chill on that as it gets annoying after a while. The pick up arrangements left us a little out of the know, having changed our hotel pickup time last minute via a message to our hotel rather than direct. The coach back to the hotel was delayed for ages and we decided to get a taxi rather than wait in the heat. Lastly, they blow an insanely loud horn which shocks everyone on board each time and is extremely uncomfortable. Chill on the horn! Other than that, definitely book it, but be prepared for the few annoying bits that are included.

Booked this as part of our honeymoon visit to the island, and it didn’t disappoint. The boat itself was clean and plenty on offer for food and drinks, take cash with you. You’ll need water shoes if you plan on going onto navagio beach as it’s a pebble beach, the views are amazing! The guides speak English and Deutsch. Two other stops at the blue caves and Xigia beach. Brilliant day out and we were lucky as the sea was calm on that day. Definitely recommend this trip to anyone.

A long but memorable day! The beauty of the Island is like nothing I have experienced in the past, absolutely stunning. The crew were fun and helpful too. The 3 stops to swim were the highlight of the trip for me. A 4th stop towards the end of the day would have been better since it got a little warm. The ship is very cool and rustic and have plenty of room to spread out with your group. I would definitely recommend this excursion. It might be somewhat challenging for people 70 or older getting in and out of the water depending on how physically fit they are.

There were 3 stopping spots we could swim, 2 of them was a little bit wavy so not too pleasant. The shipwreck- uniqle view and beautiful color, however too many tourists/groups/ships there at the same time. Rocky beach so be sure to go with beach shoes otherwise expect painful feet. The 3rd stopping point was spectacular- crystal clear and peaceful water for swim. I wouldn't say it's a family friendly journey as most of the time parents couldn't just let kids swim- not safe I would say. The other thing is- I had to complain about the music. The playlist was somewhat from 90s, and super super LOUD. After a whole day accidentally sitting under the speaker, my husband and I both had headache. All in all, good for the price, hotel pickup and drop off is definitely a plus.

Didnt get to Smugglers cove weather too rough at sea but disappointing. But enjoyed the other views and swimming.Lovely crew and boat very enjoyable Zante is a beautiful island hope to come back soon 🐢⛱🐚🌞🌞
