Pickup details

We offer pick-ups from all the hotels in Rhodes island. Transfer service is available for a small additional supplement, which depends on how far is located your hotel (visible during checkout). It includes both ways: pick-up from your hotel, and after the trip drop off back. When booking select an option that covers the area where is located your hotel. For example: if you stay in Faliraki, select option "Pickup: Faliraki, Ialyssos". ❓ What if my hotel isn't on the list? Don't worry! We pick up from almost everywhere in Rhodes. If you don't see your hotel in the dropdown menu, you have two easy options: ● During Booking: Simply type your hotel name into the "Special Requirements" field. Once we receive your booking, we will manually confirm your exact pick-up time and location. ● Contact Us Directly: Send us a quick message with your hotel name, and we will let you know the closest meeting point and pick up time within 24 hours. ❓ Arriving on Your Own? (Parking & Tips) If you are staying in Rhodes Town or have a rental car, you can meet us directly at our office at 09:15-09:30 AM. ● Important Note on Parking:
 Please be aware that parking in Rhodes Town near the harbor can be very challenging, especially during the summer months. ● The "1-Hour Rule": If you choose to drive, we strongly recommend arriving at least one hour early to search for a parking space. ● Paid Parking: Most spots near the port are paid zones and fill up quickly. ● Our Recommendation: To avoid the "parking headache" and ensure a stress-free start to your holiday, we highly recommend booking a transfer with us. Let us handle the driving and drop you off right at the check-in point!

Not luxury!

Tracey_C, Jun 2026
Definitely not 'luxury'. We were packed in like sardines with people pushing and shoving while cheaper options were departing half empty.

Long day, very busy boat.. not sure it’s worth it!

Molly_D, Jun 2026
Very very very long day. The boat was absolutely jam packed - definitely over 100 people, so you were fighting to get a seat. The journey was also very long (approx 1.5 hours each way). When you get to Symi, it is beautiful, but there is really not much to do apart from going for lunch. You definitely do not need 3 whole hours on the island. The swim stop was also not the best.. you had to queue to get into the sea because the boat was just way too full.. and then queue to get back onto the boat when you were finished in the sea. It would also make more sense to stop after Symi instead of before, so you do not arrive onto the island damp and wet. The island was beautiful and the your company Half Price Tours were very friendly but I don’t think I would recommend this trip.

Must Visit Symi Island.

From booking through trip to the actual excursion the communication was excellent I instantly received an email with all the details and the day before received a WhatsApp message and email confirming pickup details. We got picked up from our hotel at 07:30, and arrived at the port by 09:10. Collected information and made our way to the boat (Doll) The crew were welcoming, and the boat was clean and well presented The journey to St Georges Bay (first stop) for a swim was good - slightly bouncy but that’s to be expected in the sea SGB was lush - has an hour to swim in crystal clear waters. On to Symi Island and it was a sight to behold! Absolutely stunning. We had 3 hours to explore the Island - which was ample time. Return journey back to Rhodes was good - again slightly bouncy but nothing the boat couldn’t handle Transportation back to our hotel was fine - prompt and clean. Highly recommended

Super organized

Nicole_H, Jun 2025
It was perfect. Pick up in the luxurious bus, the boat started on time. The equipment of the boat was also good, although a great many passengers were present. I would have imagined that a little more privately. The perfect orga and also return trip from Half Price Tours directly to our hotel was sensational 😃
