Private Zante Grand Boat Trip FAQ
Are we guaranteed to see turtles?
While these are wild animals, the National Marine Park has a very high population of turtles. Our skippers are experts at spotting them, and sightings are extremely common in the summer months.
Is this a long day?
Yes, this is our most extensive tour. It involves significant cruising time to circle the island. We recommend it for guests who enjoy the ride as much as the destination.
