Group Boat Excursions
Zakynthos

North Zakynthos

North Coast Excursions

The north coast is home to the iconic Navagio Shipwreck Beach — accessible only by boat — and the electric-blue luminescence of the Blue Caves. Departs from Agios Nikolaos, the closest harbour to both.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

North or south — which should I choose?

The north coast (Shipwreck & Blue Caves) is dramatic, iconic, and perfect for photography. Towering 300-metre limestone cliffs, the legendary Navagio shipwreck, and water inside the Blue Caves that appears to glow electric blue. The south coast (Marine Park) is about wildlife and geology — sea turtles, the Keri Caves archipelago, Marathonisi Turtle Island, and the striking Mizithres Rocks. If you have time for only one: north for postcard views, south for nature and swimming. Our Land & Sea Minivan Tour covers both in a single day.

What's the difference between semi-private and group excursions?

Our group excursions — National Marine Park, Marine Park Extended, Shipwreck & Blue Caves, and Marine Park Sunset — use comfortable shared boats with other guests. They're social, affordable, and cover the highlights efficiently. The Eros Cave tour is semi-private: maximum 10 people, giving you significantly more personal space, extra swimming time, and a more flexible route. For complete privacy, explore our Private Trips — your own boat, your own captain, your own schedule.

What should I bring on the boat?

Sunscreen (the Mediterranean sun is strong, even on cloudy days), a hat, sunglasses, swimwear, a towel, and a camera. We provide life jackets and all required safety equipment. Most boats have shaded seating areas. On the Marine Park Sunset tour, a glass of champagne is included. For all other excursions, you're welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks — there's no corkage fee and nobody will upsell you anything.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Zakynthos enjoys one of the longest, most stable summer seasons in Greece — from May through mid-October, cancelled trips are rare. However, if the harbour master issues a warning or our captain deems conditions unsafe, we'll contact you immediately to reschedule or provide a full refund. We monitor the marine forecast continuously and will never compromise your safety for a booking.

Can we land on Navagio Beach?

No. Since 2022, Greek authorities have permanently prohibited landing on Navagio Beach due to active rockfall risk from the surrounding cliffs. Our boats enter the bay fully and anchor close to the shore, giving you extended time for photos and swimming with the shipwreck as your backdrop. The view from the water is, honestly, better than being on the crowded beach ever was — you see the full scale of the bay and the wreck from the best angle.

Are children welcome on the excursions?

Yes — all our group excursions are family-friendly. Children under 3 join free of charge, and we offer reduced rates for children aged 3–12. Life jackets in child sizes are always available. Our captains are experienced with families and happy to adjust the pace. For families with very young children, we often recommend a Private Trip — you control the timing, the stops, and the speed, with no pressure from a group schedule.

How do I book and what's the cancellation policy?

Simply send us a WhatsApp message or use our contact page. Tell us which excursion you're interested in, your preferred date, and how many guests. We'll confirm availability and hold your spots. We ask for a 30% deposit to confirm your booking; the balance is paid on the day of the excursion. If you need to cancel up to 24 hours before departure, your deposit is fully refundable — no questions, no fees. Less than 24 hours, and we'll do our best to reschedule you.

Prefer a Private Experience?

Your Own Boat, Your Own Schedule

All our group excursions are available as private charters — plus custom routes no group tour can offer. Depart from Zakynthos Town, Agios Nikolaos, or Agios Sostis. Five packages from €300. Your captain, your route, your pace. No strangers on board.
