Visit to Halki Island

Authentic island
Small island that has managed to keep its soul. Our guide Mickaelis, a native of the country, shared with us his love of his territory, the logical evolution of this island taking advantage of its assets. Contribution of solar panels to produce electricity (310 days of sunshine per year)
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for the kind words and the support we are all grateful! It is our pleasure to see that you enjoyed your tour provided by MTM DMC. We hope to see you again in one of our experiences. MTM DMC Team.

Not a lot of butterflies in June
I was very anxious to see it, but it seems there are very few butterflies in June :( Also, please come prepared for a soliciting hike: the hill is very steep and the pavement is made entirely of little rocks.

No butterflies
We hired a car and while driving came a cross a sign advertising this place so we decided to go only to find no butterflies till July which was disappointing, but because we were already there thought we'd have a walk thorough the woods anyway which cost us 3€ each. It was a pleasant walk with small water falls not ideal if you have mobility issues as there are alot of steps and uneven surfaces. There are cafe's in the middle and at the end 2 icecreams and a bottle of iced tea 12€ there is also a small monastery a short walk at the end

The Valley of Butterflies and Halki Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does The Valley of Butterflies and Halki Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $73 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 The Valley of Butterflies and Halki Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 The Valley of Butterflies and Halki Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 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 The Valley of Butterflies and Halki Day Tour?
+
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 The Valley of Butterflies and Halki Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Valley of Butterflies and Halki Day Tour?
+
Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Valley of Butterflies and Halki Day Tour 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 The Valley of Butterflies and Halki Day Tour?
+
Included: Round trip boat tickets to Halki; All Taxes; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Guide. Not included: Food and drinks; Gratuities; Entrance Fees Valley of Butterflies; and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is The Valley of Butterflies and Halki Day Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
