Explore Zakynthos by minibus and boat, with Shipwreck Beach, Blue Caves, swimming stops, viewpoints, and an ancient olive tree.

“It’s a mix of land and sea tour, where you can enjoy both swimming in great places and admiring beautiful scenery. The boat has a separate fee of 25 euro/pers and it’s paid at the end of the tour. The boat takes you to see the Blue Caves, the Shipwreck beach and stops for photos and swimming. It is not a speedboat, so you are able to actual enjoy the time on the boat too. On land, we got to see the Blue Caves and the Shipwreck from above, went for lunch to a nice taverna, tasted olive oil from a 2000 year old olive tree - which was pretty…”

“This is a great tour that gives you a very good overall view of the whole island. Zack was informative, fun and knew a lot of little hidden places. It says in the description 6hrs with hotel pick up but it’s longer than that. I realized that and was ready to give up on the tour as I was in Zakintos with a ship sailing out at 4:30pm. When Zak heard that he organized a private transfer to take me back to the pier. Thanks to him I now know Zakintos, yet didn’t miss the ship :-) much appreciated and when I’m back on Zakintos I will book again with…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 76 reviews · 7 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $54Top rated

Review of Zakynthos Shipwreck Beach and Blue Caves tour, with boat swims, island sights, tastings, costs, tips, and honest advice.

“We had a really lovely day with Sophia and our driver. They didn't rush us at all. It is a jam packed itinerary with lots of fun. You need to be prepared to change quickly into your swim suit to make the most out of the time in each location. My tip is to wear your swimming costume underneath. Also take sea feet, snorkels with you and a towel. And some comfortable walking shoes to see the viewpoint of the ship wreck. Please note that the price of the boat trip is not included, you have to pay for this separately @ 25 euros pp. The boat trip is well…”
