Turtles off Laganas and Keri: Glass-Bottom Boat or Speedboat?
Updated October 11, 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer
Choose the speedboat for a nimbler three-hour route with Keri Caves and swim stops. Choose the glass-bottom boat for a steadier sightseeing format; the glass does not guarantee a turtle sighting.
What the figures say
Both leading trips cost €27. The speedboat has 3,814 reviews and a 4.6 rating; the glass-bottom trip has 3,246 reviews and a 4.4 rating and lasts 3–3.5 hours. Those figures favour the speedboat, but comfort, shade and toilet arrangements should be checked for the exact vessel.
Before booking
Loggerhead turtles are wild animals. Keep expectations realistic and avoid any trip that treats close pursuit as a promise. Ask the operator about life jackets, shade and accessibility before booking; listings and boats can differ. The speedboat’s booking page lists it as unsuitable for pregnant women, people with back problems and people prone to seasickness.
