The whole experience was a rush was asked to go earlier on day due to winds. Got there sitting eating lunch was asked to rush get back otherwise we would be been stuck there. Due to sea police it was very worrying
Brilliant experience. Was picked up in Ixia at 10.20am for 11am start. Didn’t feel sick once on the boat. I think because it was going fast and skimming the waves. You do get slightly wet sat on the bottom front. Symi is definitely worth a visit. Very beautiful. You get 3 hours to spend how you wish around the town. We had a nice lunch and wonder around exploring. Once your time was up you headed back to the boat to go to St George’s bay. We sat on top this time for a proper view. At St George’s bay you get 30 mins to swim in the very blue water. They give you foam sticks to help swim. We were then back to the harbour for around 5.15pm. A great tip is take some water with you as you can’t purchase anything on the boat. Staff are very friendly.
A great trip from Rhodes to see the lovely island of Symi. Easy pick and return from our hotel, staff on the boat very friendly, fast and good journey in 60 minutes to Symi. Then plenty of time to wander round, have a drink, do some shopping; then a 30 minute swim in crystal clear water on the way back. Good value for a family of 5, speedy crossing meant it wasn’t a very long day, just about right.
Well worth doing. Symi is worth the visit and you get just enough time there. The swim stop on the way back is nice also. Would do it again.
A lovely trip! Would wish you could be longer on Symi, as this was an incredibly nice island. The boat ride is fast, and you have to count on getting wet from the water. Set on the 2nd floor of the boat, which made it a little better. Drove to the agreed time and good service from the staff. Will without a doubt come back again! Highly recommended for anyone considering. Also good food and drink at Symi!
Good option to get to Symi plus the swim stop was great to beat the heat! There are 120-150 people on the boat and majority of the boat is not covered. While returning back from Symi, try to board early to get a covered seat as the heat gets pretty bad by afternoon between June-August. For the price it is a good tour! You could also use public ferry to get to Symi in your own time but for ease, this tour is good. 3 hours in Symi is good enough to have a meal and explore the town. The operator is also well organised and everything is managed well so you can trust them.
Wonderful day. Symi nice but no more than 3 hrs needed. Loved stop at gr George bay for swimming Boat ride quick and easy
A unique and cool experience! High waves and salt spray are guaranteed. Time flies, and the bath in St Georges Bay was really nice.
The schedules were respected, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Perhaps the only downside was the seats, which we did not find very comfortable.
Very easy to book couldn't get hotel transfers for my location. Very friendly staff, boat was very clean and well maintained. Had a lovely time in Symi 3hours and then st georges bay is lovely too. Only thing they could do is sell soft drinks on the boat it does get hot sitting on the boat when its not moving.
