What to expect

Surround yourself with the beauty of Ionian nature on this half-day cruise geared for children. You'll set sail for Marathonisi Island, anchoring up for swimming along the way, before gaining an insight into local conservation efforts. Kay, one of our guides, says, ‘We love to show everyone this beautiful place and maybe spot a turtle to understand why and how we protect our environment. It's a fun tour, which makes sustainability visible.'

You'll cast off from Agios Sostis towards pine-clad Marathonisi Island in Laganas Bay. This uninhabited islet is nicknamed ‘Turtle Island' because its beaches are a favourite nesting site for loggerheads. Kids will love this one, too – there'll be activities aimed at teaching them more about turtle conservation. They'll also learn about respecting the island's environment, protecting it from litter.

Next, you'll swing by the Oasis sea cave for a swim stop before heading closer to the island. We'll drop anchor once more for an extra dose of snorkelling. Remember to keep an eye on the water for signs of loggerhead turtles and dolphins. What's more, the boat has an integrated sewage drainage system, so nothing harms the sea.

Excursión secreta a Zante con monasterio, cuevas azules y degustación de especialidades locales

Es fácil entender por qué los venecianos llamaban a Zante la "Flor de Oriente". Esta exclusiva excursión incluye algunos de los pueblos más bonitos de la isla y el remoto monasterio de Anafonitria. Y eso no es todo. También habrá vino y dulces locales para degustar, además de una breve excursión en barco a las Cuevas Azules, uno de los puntos más profundos del Mediterráneo.
