A boat trip with many nice elements

A wonderfully long excursion with two 12-year-olds. Lindos itself with the setting of the port is not entirely wrong. Boat trip along the cliffs that could be seen both under and over water. You see more magical caves along the way. Nice entrance if you want to fantasize about pirate life with the smaller children. Last stop on the boat, swimming in a lovely bay. My son couldn’t swim because he had a broken hand, but he could take nice underwater photos from inside the boat of us diving in front of the windows on the lower deck. Best holiday photo 😊

Operator response

Tack så mycket för den fina och detaljerade recensionen! 😊 Vi är så glada att ni hade en härlig utflykt tillsammans och att även er son kunde vara med och få en fin upplevelse trots sin brutna hand. Så roligt att undervattensbilderna blev så fina – särskilt att det blev semesterns bästa foto! Vi hoppas få välkomna er tillbaka till Rhodos igen!

Our family of 6 (aged 27-53)

Our family of 6 (aged 17-53) have just had a really fantastic trip out on the Hippo submarine. The lovely crew were friendly and fun. The trip was just right in length with a swim stop in a beautiful bay. We thought it was super value for money too.

A must!!

Wow! What can I say? Thank you to the whole crew for an amazing experience. I am a little unsteady on my feet but they were all so accommodating and friendly. The sea was beautiful, clear and calm. We stopped close to the rocks where you can go to the lower deck and see the sea life through the glass which was fantastic! On the upper deck we enjoyed a free soft drink, there are snacks and alcoholic drinks as well. I had a very generous measure of rose wine which only cost me 5€. There were 2 stops for a swim where you can either step off the boat or just dive in!!! We set off at 9.30am and returned at 12.30pm. This is definitely great for everyone, just be a bit wary with mobility issues, however like I said I was helped so much with mine.

Highly recommended.

We booked the trip directly through our travel operator. Everything went smoothly. The tour itself, with 2 swimming stops and a soft drink included, was truly lovely. The crew was very accommodating and friendly. Our children (4 and 6 years old) also enjoyed it very much. The room for observing fish is even air-conditioned.

Excellent day trip with family

Had a blast with my family during the trip. Boat wasn't too crowded and got to visit a few coves with fish to look from below the deck. Swimming stop was the best part, we went snorkeling and the crew fed the fish a bit so got to swim right in the middle of lots of different fish in the lovely Mediterrenean sea! Very friendly staff, highly recommend taking a nice two hours worth of relaxing fun!

Operator response

Your kind words about our crew and staff mean a lot to us. We always strive to provide a friendly, comfortable, and memorable experience for all our guests.

Boat trip around Lindos

The view is amazing, you can see the sea bottom, the captain goes as close to the rocks as possible. Downstairs it is a little bit smelly and the glass was a bit cloudy but you can still see the fishes as well. Out weather was perfect for the trip, amazing view to Lindos and acropolis.

Operator response

Thank you for your review! We're delighted that you enjoyed the stunning views of Lindos, the Acropolis, and the underwater scenery. Regarding the glass, visibility can occasionally be affected by sea and weather conditions, which may cause it to appear less clear on some days. We're glad you were still able to enjoy the fish and seabed views. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon!

Excellent afternoon out

This was excellent! Not too many on the boat. The boat was nice and clean. Friendly captain and other staff members. Toilets clean. Showed us a couple coves with fish that when we went down stairs to look the captain feed them from above so they would swim round the boat for all to see Stopped so we could all swim in a perfect little cove. Water was amazing. Very good little trip. Perfect for kids with short attention spans lol.
