    Half Price Tours NOT a Cut Rate Experience

    Great experience from top to bottom. Having not properly read their guidance I arrived at the office flustered and stupidly left my cell phone there. Tip: The office is across the street around the corner from The Benetton store. By the time I realized we were underway. I went to the bar to ask them if they could contact the office for me and they had my phone there on the boat. So grateful to George and Anna for taking care of me! Boat has plenty of room to accommodate all preferences (inside, outside, sun deck), food and drink were plentiful and reasonably priced, and the bathrooms were as good as you can hope for under the circumstances. Would definitely book again.

    Excellent day in the sun

    Pre-trip organisation and pickup were faultless including extra late evening confirmation messages. Boat (Discovery Rizos) was comfortable and spacious and the crews attention to detail and safety were A1 (they pulled on the Anthony Quinn Bay stop after one of their guys, who had swam out to moor the boat, discovered petrol dumped in the water - they took us to the next bay instead). I like the way they don’t let you reserve seats when you get off - but do try and get landside for one of the journeys ie NOT posh! Lindos is delightful and three hours is just about right to get a good flavour for the place - walked to the Acropolis (lucky to get a free entry but would have happily paid the ticket cost for the photo opportunities alone - then there’s the history - well worth trying to get your head around the phases and the dates!) followed by excellent lunch in a Captains House and a meander back to the boat through the streets. (Warning - it’s easy to get lost - give yourself time or know how to use Google Maps!)

    Worth the money

    Great tour. Pick up was early and he even messaged to say he was early but no issues if we weren’t ready. The boat was very clean and smooth sailing. Staff were friendly and it had a great snack / bar on board. Would definitely recommend booking with half price tours.

    Excellent day trip to Lindos

    Excellent day-trip, lovely clean boat and with a couple of swim stops (one going, one on the way back) it made for a fantastic time. Communication with Half Price Tours who we booked with through TripAdvisor was excellent and we were made welcome and well informed throughout the day, especially where to meet and check in. Would thoroughly recommend.

    Lindos Relaxing Cruise: “Santorini-style” Village & 2 Swim Stops: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.

    How much does Lindos Relaxing Cruise: “Santorini-style” Village & 2 Swim Stops cost?

    +

    Prices start at $56 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 Lindos Relaxing Cruise: “Santorini-style” Village & 2 Swim Stops take?

    +

    Plan for about 7.5 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 Lindos Relaxing Cruise: “Santorini-style” Village & 2 Swim Stops worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 594 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Rhodes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Lindos Relaxing Cruise: “Santorini-style” Village & 2 Swim Stops?

    +

    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 Lindos Relaxing Cruise: “Santorini-style” Village & 2 Swim Stops suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lindos Relaxing Cruise: “Santorini-style” Village & 2 Swim Stops?

    +

    Around 208 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 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lindos Relaxing Cruise: “Santorini-style” Village & 2 Swim Stops 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 Sea Kayaking Tour – The Pirates Route. 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.

    What is included in Lindos Relaxing Cruise: “Santorini-style” Village & 2 Swim Stops?

    +

    Included: 3 hours free time in Lindos; Stops for Swimming and Snorkelling; Shower; Skipper; and On-board restrooms. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Lindos Relaxing Cruise: “Santorini-style” Village & 2 Swim Stops include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 176 listed pickup locations in and around Rhodes. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Lindos Relaxing Cruise: “Santorini-style” Village & 2 Swim Stops offered in?

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Lindos Relaxing Cruise: “Santorini-style” Village & 2 Swim Stops?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Lindos Relaxing Cruise: “Santorini-style” Village & 2 Swim Stops wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
