Check availability→ Two questions
Which Rhodes boat day is yours?
Fifteen listings above, and the choice comes down to hours and company. The short version is three hours along the east coast — Anthony Quinn Bay, Ladiko and the sea caves, mask on at each stop. The long version fills six or seven hours: a catamaran day with lunch, or the run out to uninhabited Alimia Island. Private boats sell the whole day. Tell us what matters and we will point at one.
See it before you pay for it
Anthony Quinn Bay, Ladiko, and the sea caves
Most boats here are built from the same few stops on the east coast. Anthony Quinn Bay and Ladiko Bay sit minutes apart, and the operators describe the water as crystal-clear. Further west, the cruise from Kamiros Skala snorkels at Stroggyli with a marine biologist aboard.
Side by side
From Rhodes Town, Faliraki, Stegna and Kamiros Skala
The harbour decides which coast your day belongs to. Rhodes Town holds most of the fleet, Kamiros Skala sends the biologist-led cruise and the seven-hour sailing to Alimia Island, and Faliraki and Stegna keep the private boats. That makes a Rhodes tour that never leaves the water, and a Rhodes island tour in the plainest sense.

Verdict
Take the marine biologist cruise
It is the one listing here that puts a marine biologist on board with you, runs towards Makri looking for wild dolphins, snorkels at Stroggyli and sends you home with the underwater photos — rated 4.8 across 993 reviews, at $102 for three hours from Kamiros Skala.
Check dates and availability→Before you book
Settle the hours and the quay first
Fifteen listings are sold here under the same two words, and the length of the day is what most of the fare buys. The shortest is two and a half hours at $45; the lowest fare is the six-hour wooden boat at $26. The heaviest review record is the catamaran at $71, 4.8 across 2,483. Two listings carry a marine biologist, both from Kamiros Skala, and three are priced for the boat rather than the seat.
Two-minute check
What the fare is made of
The fare comes down to four parts: the boat, the table and the bar, the guiding, and the size of the group. Twelve listings are priced per person, three for the whole boat.
How many of you are going?Group cruises are sold per person; private boats are priced for the boat
When do you want to set off?The long days leave in the morning; the sunset sail is an evening
How much of the day are you giving it?Three hours covers the bays; six or seven hours buys lunch and an island

Rhodes: Dolphin Watching & Marine Biologist Snorkel Cruise
From $102 · 993 reviews
★★★★★
Three hours with a marine biologist
A three-hour cruise out of Kamiros Skala with a marine biologist on board, who talks through Rhodian marine life and aquaculture. The boat snorkels the clear water at Stroggyli and looks for wild dolphins near Makri. Rated 4.8 across 993 reviews, underwater photos included.
⛵
Rhodes: All-Inclusive Catamaran Cruise with Lunch and Drinks
From $71 · 2,483 reviews
★★★★★
The day most people book
Six hours down the east coast of Rhodes on a luxury catamaran, with swimming stops, a Mediterranean buffet lunch and unlimited drinks inside the fare. It carries the heaviest record of the fifteen: 4.8 across 2,483 reviews.
🌊
Rhodes: Anthony Quinn, Ladiko and Caves All-Inclusive Cruise
From $56 · 1,857 reviews
★★★★★
The fare this page starts from
The lowest fare among the main snorkeling cruises is still three bays in three hours: Anthony Quinn Bay, Ladiko and the sea caves, with a swim and a snorkel at each stop, a sofa to sit on and an open bar. Rated 4.8 across 1,857 reviews.
🏄
Rhodes: Stand-up Paddle Adventure with Snorkeling & Sea Cave
From $97 · 264 reviews
★★★★★
Under your own paddle
Not every way into the water here is a boat seat. The stand-up paddle adventure gives the east coast four to five hours: a guided paddle for all levels, a swim, a snorkel and a hidden sea cave, in a small group with pickup available. Rated 4.9 across 264 reviews.
🏝
Rhodes: Dolphins, Snorkeling and Alimia Island BBQ Lunch
From $145 · 234 reviews
★★★★★
Seven hours, and an uninhabited island
The longest day of the fifteen keeps the marine biologist and adds an island: a snorkel at Stroggyli, then time of your own on uninhabited Alimia, then a beachside BBQ lunch with locally farmed fish. Seven hours out of Kamiros Skala, rated 4.8 across 234 reviews.
👤
Rhodes: BBQ Cruise with Snorkeling & Drinks, Max. 12 guests
From $1,218
★★★★★
A boat and a day of your own
The private listings sell the whole boat rather than a seat in it: up to twelve guests, swim stops at Ladiko Bay and Anthony Quinn Bay, and a BBQ with drinks on the return. The fare covers the group, not one person.
What it really costs
What a day on the water costs
Three things move the number: how long the boat stays out, what comes off the galley and the bar, and whether you buy a seat or the whole boat. Half-days start at $26, the long day to Alimia Island is $145, a private boat from $740.

Costs the listing doesn’t show you
- Food and drink sit outside the fare unless the listing names them. Four listings are marked meal included; on the rest, lunch is whatever you brought aboard.
- Getting to the quay is its own cost. The two marine biologist cruises sail from Kamiros Skala, the private BBQ cruise from Faliraki and the private boat tour from Stegna.
- The private fares buy the hull, not the seat. $1,218 takes up to 12 guests for five hours, $797 is the Symi kayaking day and $740 is four hours from Stegna.
- Gear fits whoever it fits. The guided listings carry masks and fins in the sizes the crew has, so a mask of your own is a small purchase that pays off.
What is genuinely included
- A boat and crew on each of the fifteen listings
- Snorkelling stops with the gear the crew carries
- A marine biologist on two listings, from Kamiros Skala
- Underwater photos on the marine biologist cruise
- A meal on the four listings marked meal included
- Free cancellation where the listing carries it
The honest answer
Is a snorkelling cruise worth booking on Rhodes?
Snorkeling in Rhodes is concentrated in a few east-coast bays and the caves beside them, and a boat strings them into one afternoon: the gear is aboard, and the table and the bar come with the fare. Behind these fifteen listings are 8,189 ratings, and the fare this page starts from is $56 for three bays.
What makes it worth it
- Fifteen listings here, from $26 a seat to a private boat for the group
- Our pick sails with a marine biologist and includes underwater photos
- The catamaran day is the most reviewed: 4.8 across 2,483 reviews
- Snorkeling gear, a buffet and an open bar sit inside the fares that name them
- Free cancellation on five listings, so an early date costs nothing to hold
Keep in mind
- Three of the fifteen are new listings with no reviews yet
- Wild dolphins are wild: the listings say what the boat looks for
- Private boats are priced for the whole boat, not per person
- Most of these listings run from May to October
- The paddle and Alimia days ask ten hours of notice
The day, hour by hour
Harbour, bays, snorkel stop, lunch
Decide how many hours you are giving the water
The listings split by hours, not by bays. Three hours is the east coast and back; six hours buys lunch and drinks; seven reaches Alimia Island.
Book the slot, and read what the fare covers
Boats leave at set times, and the paddle and Alimia days ask ten hours of notice. Read what the fare covers, and bring a towel and sun cover.
Down to the harbour
Departure points differ: Rhodes Town and Faliraki for most cruises, Kamiros Skala for the marine biology trips. Two listings offer pickup; the rest name a meeting point.
The first swim stop
The east-coast cruises head for the bays the listings name: Anthony Quinn Bay, Ladiko and the sea caves. The ladder goes down and the snorkeling starts there.
Lunch on board, or an island
Here the short day and the long day part company. Three-hour cruises turn back; the catamaran serves a buffet; the Alimia day lands for a beachside BBQ.
The second half of the coast
The longer listings hold more swim stops on the way back. On the marine biology cruises this is when the biologist talks through Rhodian marine life and aquaculture.
Back where you started, or out for the sunset
Day trips end where they set off. The three-hour sunset catamaran is a booking of its own: fruit, a snack and drinks on deck as the light goes.
Best time of day
Most of these listings sail in the morning
The long listings are sold by the whole day and leave in the morning: seven hours to Alimia at $145, seven for the guided full-day snorkel at $63, six for the catamarans at $68 and $71, the gourmet caique at $97 and the wooden-boat cruise at $26. The short ones fit inside a day that already has something in it — two and a half hours at $45, three at $56, three with the marine biologist at $102. One listing is written for the evening: the Sunset Catamaran Cruise with Snack, Fruits & Drinks, three hours at $51, rated 4.7 across 234 reviews.

What it’s like
Fifteen boat days off Rhodes — the hours, the fare, and the boat
Every listing on this page is a boat day off Rhodes, and eleven of the fifteen titles name snorkeling outright. Fares run from $26 a person to $1,218 — and the top of that range is not a per-person figure at all: the three highest are priced for the boat. What changes between the rest is the length of the day, which bays it reaches, and how much food and drink sits inside the fare.
Our top pick is the three-hour cruise with a marine biologist on board. Dolphin Watching & Marine Biologist Snorkel Cruise is $102, rated 4.8 across 993 reviews, and it sails from Kamiros Skala on the west coast. It runs towards Makri looking for wild dolphins, snorkels at Stroggyli, and the underwater photos are part of the listing. The biologist is the part you are buying, and only two listings here carry one.
The heaviest review record is the catamaran: the All-Inclusive Catamaran Cruise with Lunch and Drinks, $71 for six hours, 4.8 across 2,483 reviews, with swimming stops along the east coast, a Mediterranean buffet lunch and unlimited drinks. The fare we quote from is the all-inclusive bay cruise — Anthony Quinn, Ladiko and Caves, $56 for three hours, 4.8 across 1,857, with sofas, an open bar and free cancellation.
The two plainest days are the cheapest. The 6-Hour Snorkeling and Swimming Cruise with Snacks is $26, 4.2 across 165 reviews, on a traditional wooden boat calling at Anthony Quinn Bay, Afandou beach and Kallithea Bay. The Anthony Quinn Bay & Sea Caves Snorkeling Cruise is $45 for two and a half hours, 4.9 across 508 — the shortest listing on the page.
Three listings are sold on what is served on deck: the Boat Tour with Snorkeling, Gourmet Buffet & Open Bar, $97 for six hours, 4.7 across 625, on a traditional Greek caique; the All Inclusive Catamaran Escape, $68 for six hours, 4.7 across 378; and the Sunset Catamaran Cruise with Snack, Fruits & Drinks, $51 for three evening hours, 4.7 across 234.
Three more put you to work. The Stand-up Paddle Adventure with Snorkeling & Sea Cave is $97 over four to five hours, 4.9 across 264, with pickup available and free cancellation. The Fishing Trip with Snorkelling and BBQ is $70 for five hours, 4.8 across 445, meal included. The long day adds an island: Dolphins, Snorkeling and Alimia Island BBQ Lunch, $145 over seven hours from Kamiros Skala with the same biologist, 4.8 across 234.
The three highest fares buy the hull rather than the seat: the BBQ Cruise with Snorkeling & Drinks, $1,218 for up to 12 guests over five hours from Faliraki; the Symi Sea Kayaking Tour with Picnic Lunch and Snorkeling, $797 for six hours; and the private boat tour from Stegna, $740 for four. Settle the hours first, then whether the boat is yours, then what the fare feeds you.
If it is one day on the water
Three ways to snorkel off Rhodes in a day
All three swim and snorkel, and all three are day boats. What changes is the hours and what the fare carries: three hours with a marine biologist from Kamiros Skala, six hours of catamaran with lunch and drinks, or the plainest six hours on a wooden boat.

Plan the day on the water
Four things decide how it goes: the clock, the harbour, the terms and the group. Two and a half to three hours covers the bays and the caves, five to six buys lunch and a bar, and a full Rhodes day trip asks seven. Five of the fifteen show free cancellation.

The heaviest review record
All-inclusive catamaran, $71 for six hours, 4.8 across 2,483 reviews, with a buffet lunch and unlimited drinks.
The lowest fares

The all-inclusive middle
Anthony Quinn, Ladiko and Caves at $56 with an open bar; the gourmet caique at $97; the sunset catamaran at $51.
The active days
Stand-up paddle with a sea cave at $97; the fishing trip with BBQ at $70; the guided full-day snorkel at $63.
The long day and the private boats
Alimia Island with the biologist and a beachside BBQ, $145 over seven hours. Beyond that the fare buys the hull.
Sun cover you can wear on the water
The days run from two and a half hours to seven, all of it on deck or in the sea.
A towel and something dry
Each listing here swims, so what you bring back wet you carry wet. A dry bag earns its place.
Your own mask if you have one
The gear is whatever is in the crate. A mask that fits your face makes the snorkel stops easier.
A card for what sits outside the fare
Four listings are marked meal included; on the rest, food and drink are bought as you go.
Shoes for the harbour
Departures are spread around the island, and getting to the right quay is the part with a walk in it.
Your booking on your phone
The voucher goes to your phone. The fishing trip asks 30 minutes’ notice; the paddle and Alimia days ask ten hours.
Settle the hours before the price
Two and a half to three hours is one bay run; six is the all-inclusive middle; seven is Alimia.
Check whether the boat is private
Three listings are priced for the hull at $1,218, $797 and $740. Divide by your group before comparing.
Read the review counts
The catamaran carries 2,483 reviews and the bay cruise 1,857. The guided full-day snorkel sits at 5 across 3.
Check which quay you sail from
Two listings leave from Kamiros Skala, three from Rhodes Town, and one each from Faliraki, Stegna and Symi.
Free cancellation where it is carried
Five listings carry it, with the terms printed on each one.
Book the heavy-record listings early
The fare is the same wherever you buy it; booking ahead buys the date and the departure you wanted.
Kamiros Skala is the west-coast quay
Both marine biologist cruises sail from there, the far side of the island from Rhodes Town. Allow for the drive.
Anthony Quinn Bay repeats
Four listings call there. The water is clear and shallow, and the snorkel stops are built around it.
Pickup is named on two listings
The stand-up paddle adventure and the Alimia day. The rest ask you to meet the crew at the quay.
Symi is a separate island
The sea-kayaking day paddles to St. George Disalonas Bay, and it is not a Rhodes departure.
Stegna and Faliraki are east-coast villages
The private boat tour runs from Stegna, the private BBQ cruise from Faliraki. Both are drives rather than walks.
Wheelchair access is stated on two
The bay cruise at $56 and the Alimia day at $145. Read that field on the listing.
Best time
When to come
This is a summer coast: most of these boats list their dates from May to October, so a tour of Rhodes 2026 built around the sea belongs to the warm half of the year. What changes inside that window is how many boats sail and how early they fill.
May
The season opens
The half-days go out first: two and a half hours at Anthony Quinn Bay and the caves for $45, rated 4.9 across 508 reviews.
Jun – Jul
The fullest weeks
Midsummer suits the long days: six hours on the all-inclusive catamaran at $71, or seven to Alimia Island with a BBQ ashore at $145.
Aug
Book this one earliest
August books furthest ahead, and the small boats go first: the paddle-and-sea-cave morning at $97, and five hours of fishing at $70.
Sep – Oct
The stretch we would book first
The one we would take: the biologist-led cruise from Kamiros Skala at $102, rated 4.8 across 993 reviews, or a whole boat to yourself at $740.
Worth knowing
Six things that aren’t in the listing
01
These are boat days, and the snorkelling happens at the stops. Eleven of the fifteen titles name snorkeling, and the bays are the shallow, clear ones: Anthony Quinn Bay, Ladiko, the sea caves, Kallithea.
02
The hours decide more than the price does. Two and a half hours at $45 is one run along the coast; six hours at $71 is the catamaran with lunch and drinks; seven hours at $145 is the day out to Alimia.
03
Only two listings put a marine biologist on board. Our top pick at $102 and the Alimia day at $145, both from Kamiros Skala, running towards Makri and snorkelling at Stroggyli.
04
Read the review counts beside the ratings. The catamaran holds 2,483 reviews at 4.8 and the bay cruise 1,857 at 4.8, while the guided full-day snorkel sits at 5 across 3.
05
Four listings are marked meal included, and several name an open bar. The gourmet buffet caique at $97, the fishing trip at $70, the Alimia day at $145 and the private BBQ cruise at $1,218.
06
The three highest fares buy the boat, not the seat. $1,218 takes up to 12 guests from Faliraki, $797 is the Symi kayaking day and $740 is four hours out of Stegna. Divide by your group.

Common questions
Rhodes snorkeling trips, answered straight
What is the best snorkeling tour in Rhodes?
By review record it is the All-Inclusive Catamaran Cruise with Lunch and Drinks at $71, 4.8 across 2,483 reviews over six hours. Our top pick is shorter with more in it: the Dolphin Watching & Marine Biologist Snorkel Cruise at $102, 4.8 across 993, three hours from Kamiros Skala.
How much does a Rhodes snorkeling trip cost?
The fifteen listings run from $26 to $1,218. The wooden-boat cruise is $26, the Anthony Quinn Bay cruise $45, the sunset catamaran $51 and the all-inclusive bay cruise $56. The six-hour catamarans run $68 to $97, the Alimia day is $145, and three private boats run $740 to $1,218 for the whole hull.
Where do the boats stop to snorkel?
The names that repeat are along the east coast: Anthony Quinn Bay, Ladiko, the sea caves, Afandou and Kallithea Bay. Four listings call at Anthony Quinn Bay, and the two marine biologist cruises snorkel instead at Stroggyli on the west side.
Can you see dolphins on a Rhodes boat trip?
Two listings are built around the attempt, both from Kamiros Skala: the three-hour Dolphin Watching & Marine Biologist Snorkel Cruise at $102 and the seven-hour Alimia Island day at $145. Both run towards Makri and snorkel at Stroggyli with a biologist on board; the dolphins are wild and keep their own plans.
Can you do one of these trips on a cruise day in port?
The short listings fit a day in port: two and a half hours for the Anthony Quinn Bay and sea caves cruise at $45, three hours for the bay cruise at $56, the marine biologist cruise at $102 and the sunset catamaran at $51. Read the meeting point first.
How long does a Rhodes snorkeling trip take?
From two and a half hours to seven. Two and a half is the sea caves cruise; three hours the marine biologist cruise, the bay cruise and the sunset catamaran; four to five the paddle, fishing and Stegna trips; six the catamarans and the caique; seven the Alimia day.
Are there private boat tours in Rhodes?
Three listings are priced for the boat rather than the seat. The BBQ Cruise with Snorkeling & Drinks takes up to 12 guests from Faliraki over five hours at $1,218. The Symi Sea Kayaking Tour is $797 for six hours, and the private boat tour from Stegna $740 for four.
Is snorkelling gear included, and what should I bring?
The guided listings supply the gear in whatever sizes the crew carries, so your own mask is the one thing worth packing. Beyond that: a towel, something dry to change into, sun cover, and a card for what sits outside the fare.

Why trust this page
How we put this together
Checked, not guessed
Durations, inclusions and operator names come from the live GetYourGuide listings. Prices and ratings are read off the same listings and updated with the page.
How we pick
Every listing here goes out on the water off Rhodes, and we kept the range wide: short bay runs, all-inclusive catamarans, the paddle and fishing days, and the boats priced for the hull. Nobody pays to be featured.
We say what the day holds
We name the quay, the hours and the stops on each listing rather than letting the photographs decide, because a two-and-a-half-hour bay cruise and a seven-hour day to an uninhabited island are sold under the same two words.
What a ticket arranges
A ticket arranges the boat, the crew, your place on board and the snorkelling gear, and on two listings a marine biologist. The sea keeps its own arrangements: where the boat can anchor is the skipper’s call.
The answer
Pick the hours, and the boat follows.
Every listing on this page swims and snorkels off Rhodes, and most call at the same clear, shallow bays along the east coast. What you choose is how long the day is and what the fare carries. The marine biologist cruise is $102, and the all-inclusive bay cruise with the open bar is $56. A towel, sun cover, and book ahead.
