Top Rhodes Day Trips

The Captain was fun and kept the energy going with his dancing and Playlist. The crew was nice and cooked delicious food. My friends and I had a blast on this boat and met other ppl that were on our Virgin Voyages cruise. I highly recommend. It was just enough time at each stop.

Good experience with an entertaining guide. The official meet-up details (time, location, bus #, etc.) were confirmed the day before by email and WhatsApp, and we were told to book our Acropolis of Lindos tickets on the official online website. We were picked up right at the cruise port in a coach bus with all the other buses for the official cruise excursions. Our first stop was the pottery and olive oil demonstration, which was about halfway towards Lindos. Our guide explained the local history and culture along the way while also pointing out various places and answering all questions. The pottery/olive oil stop wasn't too long, provided a short shopping opportunity, and a bathroom break. The scenery towards Lindos was gorgeous. Once in Lindos, our guide brought us to the main square, gave directions and explained when and how to return to the bus at the specific time. We were unlucky because it started to downpour for 40 minutes as soon as we arrived; the narrow streets became like mini rivers and our guide strongly recommended against going up to the Acropolis in these conditions and then disappeared. I ended up going up on my own once the sun came out, but I didn't get the expected guided tour and was rushing to make it back to the bus on time. No one else on our tour went up, and I don't know if the operator refunded them for having pre-purchased tickets to the Acropolis. Guided or not, the visit up to the Acropolis of Lindos is a must, and the walk up was way easier than I expected. Rain couldn't have been predicted either, since it was literally only raining in Lindos while Rhodes was dry. We stopped for a short photo stop over Lindos and then continued back to Rhodes. We got a short, guided walking tour of Rhodes with earpieces and then were given the option to explore on our own or go to a wine tasting, and then grab the bus back at a dedicated time or walk back to the cruise ship on our own (only 10 minutes away). The guided walking tour was ok, but was mainly just a short walk towards the wine tasting location with a bit of commentary. Overall, 4.5 stars. Definitely a great way to get to Lindos in a short time with a good cultural lesson.

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.

Super convenient and stress free trip. Picked up on time at our hotel, taken to the boat. Everything was 100% on schedule, mo delays. Boat ride to swim at St. George’s bay, then to Symi island with 3 hours to spare. We had dinner and enjoyed our walk. Swim at St. George’s bay was absolutely fabulous! I just wish swim came after Symi island so we would be dry on our walk

This exceed my expectations in every way. 100% worth every penny. My friends and I had an exceptional time. Make sure you get there at least a half hour early to secure the “good seats”. That made all the difference for us! Food was amazing and the swimming spots were awesome. The music was INCREDIBLE! Perfect vibes. Highly highly recommended. Got back right on time at 3:45 which was a big plus as we were on a cruise ship. Theodore was super nice.

This boat got us there in about 1hr and 10 min. We diembarked at 1223. It was super rough so be ready. I get motion sickness but knew I needed to watch the horizon no matter where I sat. Even sitting on the end doesn't help. The staff and company was very nice and looked after those that got sick. We walked around Symi for 3hrs... got back to the location at 320...which meant we missed our ride back. My husband swore up and down they said 1530. 😫 The shopping, food and atmosphere were great. The best!! We got back to the ship where it was docked when we got here, and it was already gone. Apparently 3hrs means 2hrs 45 min. We called the Rhodes Sealine and unfortunately their 1515 boat was canceled due to weather. We walked about 1.5 miles up the port and paid €36 for a ferry ride back to Rhodes (on Blue Star Ferries) Not a bad adventure and made for an amazing trip! So be on time... they will leave you. This was completely on us. We missed the St. George Bay swim. No biggie... Rhodes has some amazing water and beaches, as well as other excursions.

It's a small boat which makes it a nice and relaxing experience. Staff on board are very friendly and nice. The 3 stops were lovely and didn't stay for more than 40 min each which was perfect as our 9 Yr old couldn't handle swimming for too long. Fruit medley was delicious! Drinks were limited in variety but good. We had a brilliant time.

A traffic day on the water! It was a perfect day on the water. We were only in Rhodes for a day on our cruise and decided this would be the perfect way to experience the island. Many of the day cruise options only had 2 stops but this rip was 4 and they were all beautiful. We had plenty of time to swim and explore the small cave areas at each stop. the water was crystal clear. We enjoyed the lunch and fresh fruit. It was a truly beautiful and relaxing day. I traveled with my two 18 year olds and they loved it !
