“Boat departed on time, both times, and in fact was a little early in leaving for Symi island (lucky we got there 20mins early!). The vessel was handled well and was clean throughout, including the toilets which I was impressed by! The staff/crew were helpful and polite and the instructions given to passengers were clear over the tanoy. The snorkelling stop was brief and there wasn’t much to see as you were told not to go far from the boat. It was still pleasant and worth doing. I would say that if you wanted to explore the island properly then there isn’t a lot of time to do so and…”

Hotel pickup from Lindos plus free time in UNESCO Rhodes Old Town, then a speedboat to Symi for an afternoon of sights.
“Highly recommend this trip if you are staying in Lindos. Trip instructions and timings on the day were very clear, both the bus transfers and ferries were on time and very close by to where you needed to be. We had about 2 hours in Rhodes Old Town which was plenty to wander round the main streets and harbours, and 3 hours in Symi which was a beautiful bay to relax in for the afternoon. Added bonus was watching the sunset on the ferry back. A 12 hour day, but a really good day trip and very good value.”
Speedboat from Rhodes to Symi, plus Panormitis Monastery. Cruise the Aegean, snack onboard, shop Symi, then return same day.
“Boat from Rhodes was calm and breezy. Very scenic bus journey through mountainous terrain, overlooking the sea and idealic villages. Great overall experience. Symi is peppered with traditional Greek Restaurants, all offering fresh sea food. A must do experience if you are in Rhodes. One of the highlights of my holiday here !”
Fast boat Rhodes to Symi day trip with 4 hours on the island, round-trip tickets, optional hotel transfers, and time for Simiako Garidaki.
“Everything was great! Pick up was on time and smooth. arrival to Rhodes and then transfer to boat to Symi was also smooth and all instructions were clear. We decided on the way back that we wanted to spend some time in Rhodes before going back to our hotel, so they were flexible with letting us stay (we had to find our own way back, but we knew that). Definitely a good value given our hotel was all the way in South Rhodes and taxis are quite expensive there. Highly recommend!”
Pick the day first, then pick the boat.
