Our family of 6 (aged 27-53)
Our family of 6 (aged 17-53) have just had a really fantastic trip out on the Hippo submarine. The lovely crew were friendly and fun. The trip was just right in length with a swim stop in a beautiful bay. We thought it was super value for money too.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that your whole family enjoyed your time aboard the Hippo Submarine. It’s wonderful to know that our crew helped create a fun and friendly atmosphere and that the length of the trip, along with the swimming stop in the beautiful bay, made for the perfect experience. We’re also delighted that you found it to be great value for money. Thank you for choosing to join us, and we hope to welcome your family back on board again in the future for another memorable adventure in Rhodes!

A must!!
Wow! What can I say? Thank you to the whole crew for an amazing experience. I am a little unsteady on my feet but they were all so accommodating and friendly. The sea was beautiful, clear and calm. We stopped close to the rocks where you can go to the lower deck and see the sea life through the glass which was fantastic! On the upper deck we enjoyed a free soft drink, there are snacks and alcoholic drinks as well. I had a very generous measure of rose wine which only cost me 5€. There were 2 stops for a swim where you can either step off the boat or just dive in!!! We set off at 9.30am and returned at 12.30pm. This is definitely great for everyone, just be a bit wary with mobility issues, however like I said I was helped so much with mine.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience aboard the Hippo Submarine. It means a lot to us to know that our crew made you feel comfortable, supported, and well looked after throughout the trip. We’re glad you enjoyed the calm, crystal-clear waters, the unique views of the marine life from our underwater deck, and the relaxing atmosphere on board. It’s also great to hear that you made the most of the swimming stops and the refreshments available during the journey. We especially appreciate your kind words about our assistance with mobility needs. Our goal is to make the experience enjoyable and comfortable for all our guests, and we’re very happy that you felt cared for. Thank you again for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back on board for another beautiful adventure in Rhodes!

Excellent day trip with family
Had a blast with my family during the trip. Boat wasn't too crowded and got to visit a few coves with fish to look from below the deck. Swimming stop was the best part, we went snorkeling and the crew fed the fish a bit so got to swim right in the middle of lots of different fish in the lovely Mediterrenean sea! Very friendly staff, highly recommend taking a nice two hours worth of relaxing fun!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you and your family had such an enjoyable time on board with us. It's great to know that you appreciated the relaxed atmosphere, the beautiful coves we visited, and especially the swimming and snorkeling stop. Watching and swimming among the fish in the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters is certainly one of the highlights of the trip, and we're glad you were able to enjoy that experience. Your kind words about our crew and staff mean a lot to us. We always strive to provide a friendly, comfortable, and memorable experience for all our guests. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you and your family back on board again in the future!

Boat trip around Lindos
The view is amazing, you can see the sea bottom, the captain goes as close to the rocks as possible. Downstairs it is a little bit smelly and the glass was a bit cloudy but you can still see the fishes as well. Out weather was perfect for the trip, amazing view to Lindos and acropolis.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We're delighted that you enjoyed the stunning views of Lindos, the Acropolis, and the underwater scenery. Regarding the glass, visibility can occasionally be affected by sea and weather conditions, which may cause it to appear less clear on some days. We're glad you were still able to enjoy the fish and seabed views. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon!

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Early afternoon 2-Hour Classic Ride With Swim: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does Early afternoon 2-Hour Classic Ride With Swim cost?
+
Prices start at $19 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rhodes usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Early afternoon 2-Hour Classic Ride With Swim take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rhodes is not rushed.
Is Early afternoon 2-Hour Classic Ride With Swim worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 187 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rhodes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Early afternoon 2-Hour Classic Ride With Swim?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Early afternoon 2-Hour Classic Ride With Swim suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Early afternoon 2-Hour Classic Ride With Swim?
+
Around 65 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rhodes can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rhodes and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Early afternoon 2-Hour Classic Ride With Swim start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rhodes within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rhodes?
+
On Outty we rank every Rhodes experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board, Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks, Rhodes Exclusive Swim Cruise Cocktail Open bar & Gourmet Buffet. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rhodes?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rhodes?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
