Our hopes were quite high but we tried to set our expectations a little lower so as not to be disappointed. However, we were pleasantly surprised as the experience blew away all the hopes we had and was EVEN better than we hoped for. We are really talking off-road here in that the roads (trails) we drove on were more suitable for a mountain goat than a car and in parts the roads were washed away and it was really about keeping your hands on the wheel and steering with your brain. The rest stops were sufficiently numerous and adequately spaced with toilet facilities. Also some sightseeing at Seven springs and a chapel where the island's oldest olive tree grows (1000 years) I could easily repeat the same turn tomorrow.

We spent hours trying to figure out which boat trip would be right for us in Rhodes. This boat trip definitely was the right decision! We spent an hour at each of the stops, so plenty of time for snorkelling, drinks, chatting to others on the boat. The main BBQ itself was great, super tasty and the hosts were great too. It does play music the entire time and it’s a real mix of either Bob Marley, Earth Wind & Fire and Oasis, etc, so hopefully something for everyone. All in all, a great day and we made lots of friends and memories, so thank you!

If you really want to see a lot of the country with the most beautiful nature, this is highly recommended. This was super fun to do. De Zeven Bronnen is very beautiful, beautiful nature reserve to stretch your legs there for a while. The local tasting is also great to experience. The people are very friendly and super hospitable. You enjoy the beautiful surroundings, you also stop regularly to just stretch your legs and to see more of the country. This excursion is highly recommended if you are on Rhodes.

An absolutely wonderful excursion that we really recommend, it was one of the highlights of our holiday, the crew was super nice, good food and drinks. The swim stops were lovely with plenty of time to swim around and enjoy the crystal clear water. A plus because there was a toilet and shower on the boat. Thank you for a wonderful experience / Mia and Lena ❤️

Brilliant tour with some excellent offoroad tracks. We got the car to ourselves for an additional 70 euro which was ideal for couples.
