The sheltered waters off eastern Rhodes boast some of the island's most scenic coastline. Discover beautiful bays, coves and beaches and enjoy all the things that make this boat trip so special – swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing and a tasty lunch.

Your adventure kicks off as you push out from shore and your local skipper sails around some of the highlights along Rhodes' east coast. Stops can vary but usually include Anthony Quinn Bay and Sfougaria or Mandomata Bay for swimming and lunch. Visiting these hidden bays and long stretches of pebbly beach, you'll take in the dramatic, rocky coastline as you travel.

There's plenty of time to top up your tan, then cool off in the waters before jumping back on-board and heading to your next stop. And after all that swimming, you'll have worked up an appetite just in time for lunch. Then sleep it off with a siesta in the sun as you bob gently back to port.

We were picked up on time and travelled in a comfortable coach. There were a few pick ups but that was okay as it gave us a chance to see the area and other hotels. The crew were very helpful as we were met at our coach and taken to the boat. Everything was great. We had 5 swim stops in beautiful bays. The crew were so friendly and informative. Lunch was delicious and enty of it. We were served melon on our way back. I highly recommend this trip if you like swimming and relaxing.

The boat was very cramped You could not hear the captain (not that he spoke much) It is probably the worst TUI boat trip I’ve been on - however the food was nice

The crew were sociable and very helpful. We had ample time at the swim stops. The food was delicious and apparently all homemade by one of the crew. The music was a good variety of english and greek. Towards the end of the trip one of the crew came round with chunks of watermelon which was a nice touch. One of the crew walked us to the coach. A fabulous trip and one we would definitely recommend.

Excellent trip in a very safe environment. No need to be a strong swimmer.

Very enjoyable trip with delicious lunch served onboard The crew was excellent and friendly. Swim stops a delight for us to have a dip in the sea.

The trip was great and the guides we had were really nice. Great size boat and not too many people onboard so you had space. Only let down was that we were advised ny reps at the hotel that the trip had 5 snorkeling stops and we presumed like other boat / snorkel trips we have previously done with TUI, that snorkels would be provided but there wasn't any.
