Top Rhodes Day Trips - page 9

Great experience! Came in from a cruise that docked early and was able to board in the port town (15min walk from the boat). The catamaran was great! We saw 3 awesome beaches/coves, had a lovely homemade lunch, and got to see the island from another view. We also made it back with plenty of time to get back on our cruise. 100% recommend.

This was a very cool experience! Our guide was awesome, and we got to see a lot of the city and the country side. I will say, the butterfly farm was very neat but also a lot of walking, steps and an incline so just be aware of that. I definitely recommend doing this tour!

What a wonderful experience with Cristiano!!! We spent about 2 hours at the lake in the morning. This was perfect timing - No crowds, sun was just peaking over as we started our time in the water. Then we went on to the Temple of Poseidon. It was a beautiful drive and we stopped for photos. We learned a lot during the drive and he was terrific host. We highly recommend booking this experience!!!

I had such a great experience on this Sun & Sea swimming cruise! The pick-up from the cruise port was so easy, which was perfect as I was visiting on a cruise that was docked for the day. It was such a great way to make the most of my time. The boat only had a small group of people on board, which made the experience feel relaxed and never overcrowded. There was plenty of time to swim and enjoy each beautiful stop without feeling rushed. The crew were friendly. I’d highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re visiting on a cruise and want to spend your time at some off the shore, have a drink & swim in the beautiful Grecian waters!

We had a fantastic day out! The boat trip was smooth and well organized, with plenty of time to explore the island at our own pace. We also stopped for a swim in a stunning bay with crystal-clear blue water, which was a real highlight. Highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable day!

What a great day. Boat was lovely but not a lot of seating, we were lucky and got the bean bags up front. Only shade is at the back of the boat so you are a sitting duck in the sun. Crew were lovely, food was simple but tasty (chicken, rice, pasta, salad and bread), nice touches were being given a sugar ring donut on the way out and water melon on the way back. Stopped at 3 lovely bays, water is freezing when you first get in and then lovely. You get about 50 minutes at each bay, they provide snorkels, masks and noodles if you need them. There were little kids on the trip but not sure it’s very well suited for youngsters and if you’ve got fussy eaters, the food might not be the best. Trip was long enough and we had a great time.

If you like to swim/open water or pools swim regularly, this day cruise is perfect. I was on a cruise ship, and the boat for this excursion is about 15-20 min walk from the cruise ship port so very convenient. The boat takes you to three locations to swim, and they provide life vests, pool noodles, and some snorkeling equipment, but most people were using the pool noodles. (I brought my own goggles which I recommend if you have your own). The ocean water was clear and honestly doesn’t have many fish, much more of a swimming and chilling in the water excursion than nature observation. You get around 45 min-1 hour at each stop, and the ride between stops was super smooth and they have a really good music playlist that has music from 1960s to now. The captain likes to dance and shimmy a bit too, but at my sailing, most people were sitting and relaxing. There’s plenty of seating, with most people opting for the sun but there’s some shaded seating on the first floor (of 2 floors) near the bar. The lunch is great, super fresh, there’s an open bar, and they even gave us some baked phyllo snacks filled with cheese or spinach. It is a 6 hour tour, but they were super timely - got us back by 4 pm which I appreciated since I had to get back on the cruise ship. This was my favorite excursion that I did the entire vacation. One note: if you are not comfortable with swimming, you might not feel as comfy in the ocean water even tho it is very mild, there is a current that can pull you back, but just make sure you’re at a comfortable swimming level first. Otherwise, it’s also a lovely lunch cruise on the Aegean Sea if you’re not feeling like getting in the water; it just will be about an hour at each swimming stop.

Tour bus was at the port as soon as we walked off the ship. Stopped along the way to Lindos for ceramic-making and olive oil tasting (with opportunity to buy, of course). Lindos - have an option to EITHER shop or climb the Acropolis with the guide. We opted to pay the extra $20 EURO to go with the guide to the top. So glad we did! Breathtaking and she explained so much to us. We did note that shopping in Lindos is more expensive than the shopping in Rhodes. From Lindos returned to the bus to go to Rhodes for the walking tour. Learned so much with our guide. (Worth noting - There was no time to do the optional Grand Master's Palace Tour afterward.) After the walking tour, there was a wine tasting. We skipped that and then did OUR shopping. AMAZING shopping. Lots of leather. We bought jackets, purses, belts and we noted the prices were much cheaper than Lindos. From the walled city of Rhodes, we walked ten minutes back to the ship. The bus would have dropped you off if you did the wine tasting and didn't want to shop or walk back on your own. Our guide was terrific.
