Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Ved ankomsten, har du omkring 3 timer ledig tid til at opdage øen i dit eget tempo: ✦ Arkitektoniske vartegn: Gå langs kysten for at se Symi klokketårnet og "Fredens" statuer af svampdykkerne. ✦ Lokal kultur: Besøg de berømte svamp workshops for at lære om Symis dybhavsdykning historie og købe autentiske havsvampe. ✦ Gastronomi: Vi anbefaler stærkt at prøve den berømte "Symi Shrimp" (Simiako Garidaki) på en havne taverna. Disse små, sprøde kremer er en lokal delikatesse spist hele. ✦ Den øvre by (Chorio): Hvis du føler dig aktiv, klatre Kali Strata (500 stentrin) for at nå den øvre landsby for den bedste panoramaudsigt i Dodekaneserne.
På vej til Symi besøger vi den legendariske St. George’s Bay. Dette afsondrede paradis er berømt for sine 300 meter lodrette klipper, der beskytter det turkisfarvede vand mod vinden. ✦ Hvad skal man gøre: Vi dropper anker, så du kan hoppe direkte fra båden ind i det krystalklare hav. ✦ snorkling: Vandet er utroligt gennemsigtigt, hvilket gør det til det førende sted for snorkling og undervandsfotografering. ✦ Vi tilbyder gratis snorkling udstyr og flyvende nudler, så du kan udforske undervands skønhed.

Simi Island and St George's Bay are absolutely beautiful, and the scenery alone makes for an unforgettable day. The only female member of the crew was lovely, friendly, and welcoming, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, there were several serious safety concerns that overshadowed the trip. First, please be aware that St George's Bay has extremely strong currents. We were not warned about this beforehand, despite the significant risk it poses. We booked through Viator with Half Price Tours on the M/V Zeus D. Once onboard, we were never informed that purchases were cash only, nor were we given any safety briefing, including where the life jackets were located or what to do in an emergency. The boat itself was also very cramped, with limited space for passengers. The most concerning part of the trip occurred at St George's Bay. A gentleman got into serious difficulty in the water and came dangerously close to drowning due to the strong current. Despite the obvious emergency, none of the crew appeared to notice or respond until I shouted for help. Even then, it took several minutes for a crew member to retrieve a life buoy—valuable time in a life-threatening situation. When the buoy was finally thrown to us, it landed nowhere near where we were and, incredibly, it was not attached to a rope or secured to the boat. As we tried to help the man back, the loose rope became tangled around our necks and legs, creating another dangerous situation. My partner, myself, and two other passengers were left to rescue the man with virtually no assistance from the crew. While we were struggling against the current to bring him back to the boat, other passengers were still being allowed to jump into the water in the exact area we were trying to reach. When we finally got back alongside the boat, the crew's priority seemed to be retrieving the life buoy rather than helping the man onboard or checking on his condition. They did not ask if he was okay, offer assistance, or acknowledge what had just happened. When we requested some water for him, they sent a young child to fetch it instead of assisting themselves. The overall attitude of several crew members was disappointing. Instructions were delivered abruptly (such as "Move feet"), with little courtesy or concern for passengers. At another point during the trip, a young girl became seasick onboard. The crew simply walked around the sick without checking if she was okay or attempting to clean it up. A few things future passengers should know: * You cannot swim at Simi Island itself. * St George's Bay requires you to either jump from the boat or climb back onboard using a ladder. * Simi Island involves a lot of walking and can be very busy, so I would not recommend this excursion for anyone with mobility issues or those who are not comfortable climbing or jumping into the sea. Simi Island and St George's Bay are genuinely stunning destinations. Finally, if the gentleman who was in distress happens to read this, I sincerely hope you are doing well. I am so sorry that you were left in such a frightening situation and that the crew showed so little urgency, care, or support. No one should have to experience that. Thank you to everyone who stepped in to help. The passengers who assisted in getting him safely back to the boat acted quickly and selflessly, and without their efforts, the outcome could have been very different. I cannot overlook the way this emergency
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!
The communication from Half Price Tours was excellent. The boat however was stated as luxury but certainly was not. Director chairs cabled tied together and wooden benches with plastic padding is not luxurious! The middle lower section of the boat was not air conditioned either!! The swimming stop at St George’s Bay was very well organised and great fun. We had under 2 and a half hours on Symi not the stated three hours but the island is beautiful and is certainly worth a visit. Be prepared for a long day as all together we were travelling 6 hours on the boat!
Symi is a beautiful island so pleased we took the time to visit. The St George’s Bay swim stop was lovely but very disappointed that despite the booking information saying snorkelling gear would be made available there was nothing on board. Had this been made clearer we would have taken goggles as it’s the perfect spot to look at the sealife underwater.
Booked with George Half Price Tours. Everything was perfectly arranged. George sends another WhatsApp with all the data in advance. Top and highly recommended!!
Great trip. St George’s bay is an ideal stop to swim in deep blue but clear water. Symi itself is so beautiful and we had an excellent lunch there at a reasonable price. Lots of nice places to explore also on Symi. I would recommend that you book with half price tours! We was very well looked after.
NA Nothing to say. Was all good. Maybe even recommend speedboat
We had a great day on the boat andon Symi island! The tour is 100% worth it. The staff was very friendly and places we visited were incredible! If you’re in Rhodos you should definitely go on this tour!
Extremely friendly people, from office to boat. Ride was ling but exactly like advertised. Beautiful scenery, and very good punctuality. We enjoyed it very much. Symi is a beautiful island and 3/4hrs was perfect. Thank you.
Everything was fantastic. Punctual, friendly, and very professional organization.
