Just book it! - What an amazing day! Bus picked us up outside the hotel promptly was a great journey and got to see plenty of the island. Tip sit at the front and get off first to get the best seats on the boat. We got on the boat and got given rain ponchos Incase. Did our swim a few children had jellyfish stings but they used some ointment on them which was great. Symi was incredible worth every penny for me I think 2.5 hours would be enough but we still enjoyed it had a good wonder around and had lunch in a lovely cafe €4 for gyros! On the way back was a storm we weren’t under cover and deffo needed the rain ponchos but we laughed and screamed the whole way back as we bumped up and down fab day out! My kids thought the storm was the best part. Only thing they could improve on would be to perhaps point out Turkey etc as we went past other than that just amazing!

Beautiful day to Symi - Loved our day to Symi! The swim in St. George’s Bay was thrilling . . . a bit windy and the boat had difficulty staying put, but the water and setting was beautiful.

Good day out - Well organised trip,pick up from Kolymbia harbour Fast boat to Rhodes town we Here we swapped boats to travel to SYMI Bit unfortunately the starched not cleared to water from the canopy to whe boat set off we both got drenched by this. Staff gave out fleeces for those that were cold ,thought this was a good touch . Hour to Symi wher we stopped for 3 hours . Very picturesque town with shops and restaurants Back on the boat to st George's bay ut unfortunately it start to rain so this was cut short Hour trip back to Rhodes town then transfer to boat to Kolymbia All In all a good trip it's 70 euros each

Fabulous trip - I booked this for my mum who has always wanted to go she’s 85 with mobility issues I emailed about being able to take her and could they accommodate a rolator Bev was very comprehensive explaining everything so I booked it. We got picked up from Vlycha beach and boarded a boat which dropped everyone off at Rhodes town and those going to symi transferred straight away onto a larger vessel I cannot thank the team enough for their kindness and consideration for my mum assisting her without being asked We had a fantastic 3 hrs in symi My only advise is if going in October definitely take extra layers as it was very windy thankfully the crew had extra fleeces to give to anyone who was cold Honestly made a very memorable trip for us and would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic Trip❤️ - My husband & I had the most wonderful trip to Symi Island with Rhode Sea Lines. The boat was fast the staff were all friendly & welcoming. We found the trip very reasonable at £90 euro for 2 adults. Symi island is a must if you in Rhodes I have never been somewhere so breathtakingly beautiful. Lovely shops & nice eating places at reasonable prices. The only downside we really wanted longer in Symi. 3 hours really wasn't enough to experience everything the island had to offer. I would highly recommend Rhodes Sea Lines & we have already booked another trip to Lindos before we head home.

Impersonal but but practical - I was surprised at how large the boat was and impersonal. Staff were rushed and stressed out. You couldn't stand up the entire ride and you can't see anything if you sit on the main deck near the bathrooms. I felt that a smaller boat with a nicer crew would have been more interesting for us even though it would have taken longer. I wouldn't do this again. But it ran on time, they gave out fleeces for the cold, it was safe and fast.

Symi is worth a trip - I would not recommend this if you get travel sick. The journey out was very bumpy and felt a bit chaotic. Communication not great However… Symi is very pretty and worth the visit and this is the faster boat. And journey back much calmer so maybe we just got unlucky outward bound.
