★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,951 reviews · 3 hours · from $35Our pick

Set out with Porto Vromi Maries Cruises & Fun for a three-hour cruise along Zakynthos’ wild west coast. You’ll photograph Navagio Shipwreck from the boat, enter blue caves, and swim at three clear-water stops, often with skilled captains such as Yannis or Yiannis at the helm. Bring water, sunscreen, and snorkeling gear.

“The tour was better than expected. We chose the pickup option from Zakynthos town that lasted about an hour forty five minutes. The bus driver was super careful and drove slowly to the marine. The captain had amazing energy which made the ride that much better. There were three 30 minutes which was of course the highlight of the trip. 10/10 would recommend for anyone.”

The sight of the turtles was an absolute bonus and the Keri Caves stunning - great driving skills for that 360° turn 👏 Marofonisi beach was beautiful and great trip all round. Thanks to all.”
