What To Expect

The 3-hour boat trip is the best option for visitors who want to explore more of the coastline and enjoy extra time swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing on the water.

Your adventure starts at Afandou Beach, where we welcome you at the Riptide Watersports base. Before heading out to sea, we provide a clear and simple briefing explaining how to operate the boat, the basic safety guidelines, and the route you can follow along the coast. Even if it is your first time driving a boat, you will quickly feel comfortable and ready to begin.

After leaving the beach, you will follow the beautiful eastern coastline of Rhodes toward your first destination, Traganou Beach. This quiet and scenic beach is known for its crystal-clear waters and impressive rock formations. From the sea, the landscape looks even more dramatic, with cliffs and natural rock shapes creating a unique coastal view.

Along the route, you will pass by small sea caves along the rocky shoreline, formed naturally by the waves over time. These caves are one of the hidden highlights of the area and offer beautiful scenery for photos or a quick swim nearby.

Continuing north, you will reach Ladiko Bay, a charming and sheltered cove with calm turquoise waters. The peaceful atmosphere of the bay makes it a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy the surroundings. Many visitors choose to stop here for a swim or simply relax in the clear Mediterranean water.

Just a short distance away lies the famous Anthony Quinn Bay, one of the most spectacular bays on the island. Surrounded by rocky slopes and green vegetation, this small bay is known for its emerald-colored water and exceptional clarity. It is an excellent spot for swimming and snorkeling, and many visitors enjoy spending some extra time here taking in the scenery.

With the 3-hour trip, the adventure continues even further along the coast toward Tsambika Beach, one of the most famous beaches in Rhodes. Unlike the rocky bays you have visited earlier, Tsambika offers a long stretch of golden sand and wide open views of the sea. The shallow, crystal-clear water and the impressive landscape make it one of the most beautiful places on the island.

With more time available, the 3-hour trip allows you to enjoy longer swimming stops, relax in the sun, and truly experience the coastline at your own pace.

After exploring Tsambika Beach, you can begin your relaxed journey back to Afandou Beach, completing an unforgettable boat adventure along the east coast of Rhodes.
