Anytime again and highly recommended - It was a spontaneous decision as none of us could do anything with the island and the really impressive port town. The boat ride there was exciting and fun, warmer clothes are definitely appropriate due to waves and occasional surf. The entrance to the port was wonderful, the town showed its best side in the sun. Lots to see, mega nice offers for shopping and the place offers so infinite wonderful places, romantic alleys as hotspots for photographing...highly recommended...we haven't been to Santorini yet, but we think Symi is definitely worth it. Well and the bathing stop in the bay was awesome, gladly with even more time to linger.

Picturesque - We took the speed boat to Rhodes from Lardos beach. This is a really lovely scenic way around, rather than being stuck on a hot bus. On the way back after spending a lovely 5 hours shopping, the sunset is spectacular for taking photos. The plus side is they gave us fleeces on the boat, as it was slightly colder than the day time.

Symi is worth a visit - Good organization, wonderful island and pleasant bathing stop. The only drawback for us were the separate seats on the outward journey, as there are 3 seats per row.

Great Day out! - Incredible day out on the boats with a 3 stay in Symi and a quiet dip in St George’s bay. The crew were all lovely and kind and of course helpful. My family really enjoyed this little day trip and we would certainly book again!

A must do trip while in Rhodes highly recommend - We absolutely loved this trip the boat out there was such good fun we were bouncing around on the waves and laughing so much , the crew on the boat were fantastic especially Stam who took the time to keep checking we were enjoying the rough ride and asked about us our names etc and made us feel so welcome we felt really well looked after helped on and off the boat and coming back to Rhodes in the dark WOW Those stars were beautiful, we were given fleece jackets as it was chilly , symi was stunning by night and I cannot recommend enough this company and the trip . We will definitely book another trip with them while here we even got a bus pick us up from Falaraki included , easy to book well planned and very professional, we'll done the crew.

Magical trip to Symi - Due to mechanical difficulties, our sunset boat trip to Symi was delayed by a couple of hours. That being said, the staff did a great job of keeping us informed and offered donuts/juice to keep us happy while we waited. Once we were underway, the crew offered fleece jackets to keep us warm and dry as the sea was quite rough that day. My kids loved it and compared it to an amusement park ride as we bounced on the waves. Our time on Symi was delightful. We had a great meal, huffed and puffed up the stairs of Kali Strata, and loved wandering around the gift shops along the harbor. We especially loved learning all about the sponge trade of Symi. The sunset was behind us on the way back, as our trip had been delayed, but was no less beautiful. Much of the boat ride home was in the dark.

organisation to be reviewed - Experience ended well but started badly. Booking online does not give you many instructions other than to show up at the port of Faliraki. From there, however, you have to take a bus that leads to Faliraki beach near the beaches of the resorts and you are boarded on the ship to Symi. We risked missing boarding because we were in the queue (but not in the correct one!). The journey to Symi was traumatic: ship totally open, you are flooded with sketches so true that they provide a kind of k-way. That's too bad. The beautiful island and the friendly staff mitigate the ugliness of the organization

Lack of professionalism and non-existent user care - We cancelled the trip twice two hours before departure, the first time we asked to be notified of the cancellation of the trip the night before because we came from lindos, an hour's journey from Rhodes town. They confirmed the tour at 7pm yesterday and today two hours before we are notified via whatsapp the cancellation of the departure. I find it really unprofessional not to say that however the tour can be cancelled two hours in advance especially if requested after a first cancellation

Scam - Charged me in my local currency instead of euros without my consent. Charged me therefore more than it should cost. Scam.
