Top Rhodes Day Trips

Taking a private tour can sometimes feel like a gamble, but choosing Vasilis was hands-down the best decision we made on our trip. From the moment we set off, his incredible depth of knowledge brought the history of Rhodes, its charming towns, and the route to Lindos vividly to life. What truly set him apart, though, was his incredible warmth and generosity. Vasilis didn't just guide us—he treated our family like his own. He shared personal stories, gave us his undivided time, and connected effortlessly with our two children, engaging them just as thoughtfully as the adults. To top it off, he introduced us to a stunning seaside restaurant that served the single best meal of our entire week in Greece. The whole experience was nothing short of marvelous, creating memories our family will treasure forever.

An excellent experience from start to finish! Everyone was polite, friendly, and very helpful, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Symi Island is absolutely amazing and definitely worth visiting. The highlight of the excursion for me, however, was the swimming stop at St George Bay. The scenery is spectacular, the water is crystal clear, and swimming there was simply unforgettable. A fantastic day and an experience I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Rhodes!

An as described experience which was fantastic as a family of 4 with a 9 year old and a 12 year old - both were happy to swim in the sea with the provided floats and goggles (it was a 32c day in August), the food was really great consisting of some grilled meat and chicken along with salad. Waffles, donuts, drinks, coffee all of it made the day really relaxing. The hosts / crew on the boat were friendly and helpful. Toilets onboard (separated by male / female) and a fresh water hose to hose off the sea salt. Lasted around 6 hours. We sat on the top deck under shade cover which is a must for children i would say (or sit on the lower deck). The top deck had music playing - some of the tracks do contain explicit lyrics which doesn't bother us as a family but I do appreciate that might concern some. Swim stops were well timed, nothing felt too rushed and I would happily book this again. Arrive early to queue for your departure ticket, we were first in the queue and got first choice of where to sit - they fill the boat according to traveller preference, but of course that preference is defined by the order of the queue (first come first served). I would book this boat again if we visited again - thoroughly enjoyable, definitely worth the payment. Aside: I noticed other boats offering 1 swim stop or 2-3 hour boat rides, this seemed to be one of the only bbq / catered options. A note on transfers: We decided to use a local transfer company from our hotel instead which dropped by the old post office (grand building opposite the port), your google map/apple map will show you 'sea lines' which is the specific part of the harbour you want to head to - the whole harbour only takes 10mins to walk the full length even with kids in 30c.
