Itinerary
Arrive in style as the boat glides into Gialos Harbor. You will have 3 full hours of free time to explore the most picturesque island in Greece. ✦ Premium Discoveries: Visit high-end jewelry boutiques and local art galleries hidden in the narrow alleys. ✦ Gourmet Seafood: We recommend a seaside table for the signature Symi Shrimp and local white wine. ✦ The Panorama: Wander up the Kali Strata for iconic photos of the harbor from above.
On the way to Symi, we visit the legendary St. George’s Bay. This secluded paradise is famous for its 300-meter vertical cliffs that shield the turquoise waters from the wind. ✦ What to do: We drop anchor, allowing you to jump directly from the boat into the crystal-clear sea. ✦ The Best Swim Stop: Spend a generous 1 hour at St. George’s Bay—giving you ample time to snorkel with our complimentary equipment or enjoy a cocktail in the turquoise water.

Traveler reviews
VERY GOOD.
Very good address, friendly and punctual staff; Very serious agency. A big thank you to Agata Rodos
A fun, stress-free day out in beautiful Symi
This was a fantastic day-trip. Good communications from provider and punctual departure. Friendly staff on board and very good quality boat (e.g. Full service bar, nice bathrooms, etc). One small suggestion I would make would be to do the swimming stop after Symi instead of before. That way you're not carrying wet clothes, and would be refreshing after walking around Symi (whereas in the morning you're not really sweaty yet). All being said the trip was very stress free, and good quality. Highly recommend for couples, families, anyone. A great day out. Make sure to try the famous Symi prawns as they're delicious!
Totally acceptable boat tour.
Very nice time, locations were great, boat was fine, staff were nice. Amenities (bathroom, bar) were nothing to write home about. What can one say, I mean, it’s a big boat that takes you to two nice places. Noodles and hose were provided after swimming. Symi is gorgeous, and so is St. George Bay.
Excellent Price quality ratio
Very professional and friendly staff, the summary by email and direct communication by whatsapp is very convenient. Schedules are respected and everything is as described. We need the excursion to Symi, it's a bit far by boat but the view is beautiful and the comfort quite suitable (with bar on board, clean toilet and enough room not to feel crowded) Very good experience at a very reasonable price! Thank you!
Ok but could be better for sure
No one was happy in the group. We was 11 people. First of all. You can get tickets cheaper near by the boat plus extra 10€ with all inclusive for a drinks. Online much higher prices was and you can’t get option about all in drinks or food. Buying separately it’s very expensive. Second thing buy the plan first stop at Symi when to St. Giorge beach but was other way round. Overall boat trip and stuff was ok. In the pic. You can see people at the front boat but actually not let you go.
