Lovely trip!
The whole experience was wonderful. Our driver was so friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable, and even surprised up with a visit to feed some deer between our stops. Top tier host! Going at the end of September meant that there weren’t many butterflies left, but we still saw a few, and even without the butterflies the valley was stunning and ethereal. There’s a beautiful chapel at the top too that’s definitely worth the hike. Seven Springs was just as beautiful and quite the experience, especially if you choose to go through the tunnel!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable day and enjoyed the little surprise along the way. It’s wonderful to know that the natural beauty of the valley and Seven Springs made such an impression. We truly appreciate you joining us and sharing your experience. We hope to welcome you back to Rhodes for another wonderful adventure soon!

Great trip
We had a great trip with Apostolos as our guide. He was very funny but also gave us an insight into the different villages we passed through. The stop at Butterfly valley was possibly not quite long enough but overall everything was great. The stop to feed the deer was a bonus. We were back in Rhodes by 3pm so it wasn't quite as long as we expected but it was still good value for money.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted that you enjoyed discovering the island and that some of the unexpected moments added to your day. We appreciate your feedback regarding the timings and will certainly take it into consideration. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to see you again in Rhodes!

Butterfly Valley the best part
The Butterfly Valley was a wonderful experience. The springs highlight is the tunnel. So not as exciting. I would have like to hear more about the region while on the bus.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed visiting Butterfly Valley, and we appreciate your comments regarding the journey. As this is a non-guided tour, we understand how additional information during the transfer could have added to the experience. Your feedback is valuable and will be taken into consideration.

Rhodes: Butterfly Valley & Seven Springs Nature Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does Rhodes: Butterfly Valley & Seven Springs Nature Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $33 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 Rhodes: Butterfly Valley & Seven Springs Nature Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Rhodes: Butterfly Valley & Seven Springs Nature Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 214 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 Rhodes: Butterfly Valley & Seven Springs Nature Day Trip?
+
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 Rhodes: Butterfly Valley & Seven Springs Nature Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rhodes: Butterfly Valley & Seven Springs Nature Day Trip?
+
Around 75 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rhodes: Butterfly Valley & Seven Springs Nature Day Trip 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 Rhodes: Butterfly Valley & Seven Springs Nature Day Trip?
+
Included: Butterflies are only in July, August, and September; Map with Information & Directions; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Entrance ticket to the Butterfly Valley (3-6 EUR p.p.). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Rhodes: Butterfly Valley & Seven Springs Nature Day Trip include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 27 listed pickup locations in and around Rhodes. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Rhodes: Butterfly Valley & Seven Springs Nature Day Trip?
+
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.
