Just got back from Zante (6th - 20th May 2010); Went to Laganas for the day and there were boat trips to see the turtles running from the beach. A bit sceptical but we went back a few days later to take one of the trips, they were only running the packaged trip of turtle finding, visit to the caves and a visit to the beach on one of the islands. we were told the visit would be about 2 and a half hours but were actually out for over three hours. We spent about an hour and a half looking for tutrles of which we saw qutie a few. We then went to look at the caves and spent about 45 minutes on the beach/swimming in the sea. On the way back we saw more turtles. I would recommend this trip to anyone - but strongly suggest you book with the people on the beach rather than the operators in the towns as we have heard stories that when people went on the visits with these operators they didn't see any turtles. The people selling the trips on the beach in Laganas guarantee your money back if you don't see turtles - thankfully we didn't have to try and get out money back.

Presuming we're reviewing the same one lol, i HATE boats but to be honest, even i enjoyed this trip.  Ok we only saw 1 turtle but surely as they're not remote controlled, you can never guarantee seeing them?  But we saw one, then we had a cruise around turtle island, then a swim stop, and also up to Keri caves, and then back, whole trip lasted about 3 hours and was well worth the money.  It has almost quashed my fear of boats too.

we went on this boat a couple of years ago to see the turtles, it was ok its a case of hit and miss as the turtles only pop up when they wanna! my advice to anyone wanna to see the loggerheads is to rent a jetski on the beack at alykes/ alikanas my mate almost ran a turtle over they were that close to us. Well worth a go!

we booked with pelagros tour to go and see keri caves and turtle island with a small glass bottomed boat ((22 people in the boat)) we payed 22 euros each.  if your lucky you will see the turtles for about 2 secs or under the boat for 5 secs   we went in the keri caves for about 2 mins  arhhhhhhhhhhh...   diddnt get much photos of it and we only got to stay on the island for about 30 mins    overall rubbish , overpriced and would not recomend it .    but the island was very nice but not worth the amount of money they charge   

Wasn't glass bottomed but went onto a small boat from Laganas beach, goes out for an hour, 10 euros each and if u see no turtle money back....apparantly!

The picture shows Julie and myself on the boat going over to Turtle Island. We booked it from a chap on Laganas beach. During the stop on the island we got to see a baby turtle.

We left Tsilivi at 9:50 and arrived Laganas 10:30, so outward everything was fine. The day was reasonable. We saw just one Turtle. The swimming was good - no jelly fish! We arrived back more or less on time.

We have just returned from Tsilivi and we went on a glass bottom boat trip which was organised by a place which was situated on the main tsilivi road going towards the planos area it is on the left hand side of the road before you get to bars like two brothers , deanos and ark etc. It was 15 euros for adults and 7.50 for children and it was worth every cent!!It was called Carretta tours..it was a trip that lasted from 11 ish til 4.30ish and that included the transfer to laganas where the boat went from.They guarantee you see turtles and we did , they took us to the blue caves and inside them, here they stop for a while so you can swim but beware of the jelly fish that you cant see!!!!!also you get a guy who sails up on his boat selling Fruit, Doughuts, icecreams , beer , soft drinks and a few other things , then they take you to turtle island where you stay for about an  hour.This trip is great its well worth doing .
