About This Experience

The same north-and-west circuit as the big land-and-sea tours, run for a maximum of ten guests — and it shows in the rating, a perfect 5.0 across more than 400 reviews. A minibus collects you, stops at Bochali and Xigia's sulphur beach, and gives you 45 minutes at the Navagio viewpoint, including the short rocky walk to the platform.

The boat leg is a speedboat from Porto Vromi Maries, two to two and a half hours depending on the season: the wreck from the water, then the west-coast caves — Maravelia, the "blue caves" of Porto Vromi, Sfogio — a half-hour swim at White Beach, and the Poseidon's Face rock profile. Note that these are the west-coast caves reached from Porto Vromi, not the famous northern Blue Caves at Cape Skinari; the itinerary is honest about it and the caves are good.

Lunch is in the Kampi area on the west coast with a sea view, then the drive back. The semi-private boat ticket (€50 per person) is paid on site, and the group gets a drone video and a Polaroid as part of the package.

Good to Know & Caveats

Navagio (Shipwreck Beach) is closed to landings and to swimming inside the bay through 31 October 2026; boats hold about 50 m offshore and you photograph the wreck from the water
Weather-dependent: the boat leg is cancelled or rerouted when the west-coast swell builds, and the afternoon sea breeze (the maistro) makes later departures choppier
The viewpoint involves a 10–15 minute walk on rough ground — moderate fitness and closed shoes
The boat leg visits the west-coast caves from Porto Vromi, not the northern Blue Caves
The €50 boat ticket is separate from the booking price

Not Suitable For

Wheelchair users
Travellers with limited mobility (viewpoint walk)

Meeting Point

Hotel pickup from around 25 points across the resorts and Zakynthos Town; the boat leg boards at Porto Vromi Maries on the west coast.

What Travelers Say

Rated 5.0/5 by 417 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

5 stars isn’t enough for the experience. You can see that Costas is really involved in his tours, making everything perfect and also a very nice and friendly man. From the moment you book the tour, keeping you updated of the pickup and the weather conditions, up to selecting the best sea skipper making the boat tour the most of it. You receive everything that its important, like water, towels and the most importantly, the memories (also polaroid photos). I absolutely recommend this tour, 100%

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The tour was really incredible and definitely a highlight of our vacation! Our guide Leonidas was super funny, nice, and kept the mood good the whole time. There was also good music and a really relaxed atmosphere. Many thanks to Leonidas for the great day – we would do the tour again at any time and can absolutely recommend it!

I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! Myrsini was absolutely incredible, our boat captain Andreas was so fun & kind, and everyone else we came in contact with was so friendly and helpful. Costas was communicative from the time I booked the tour and made sure that everything was easy & clear! It’s a long 8hr tour with beach stops, time to swim, take tons of pics, & learn about the caves and shipwreck! The team goes above and beyond in every way imaginable and even gave us Polaroids and amazing drone footage!! I would come back to Zakynthos just to do this tour with them! Thank you for the BEST day ever!! <3 Kate from Texas
