Snorkeling in Rhodes: Blue Lagoon sailboat with lunch

Swim and snorkel in the Blue Lagoon from a private sailboat

A 6-hour private sailing trip on the Aegean Sea along Rhodes' east coast, departing from Lardos with pickup included. You snorkel in the Blue Lagoon's turquoise water, swim at leisure, and sail back past Pefkos with lunch, drinks and all snorkeling gear provided. The boat holds up to six passengers and a professional captain steers. If you want to help sail, you can.

The experience

If you're staying in the Lindos area or anywhere on Rhodes without a car, pickup from Lardos gets you to the boat. The sailing yacht is built for both comfort and movement: a large sun deck up front for lounging, a canopy in the rear for shade, and a toilet onboard. The captain handles the navigation while you settle in for the 6-hour day on the water.

The centerpiece is the Blue Lagoon, where the boat anchors for an extensive swim and snorkel stop. The water is turquoise and shallow enough for all levels. Snorkeling equipment is provided and ready to use. You can stay in the water as long as you want during the stop, or stay aboard and watch from the deck. The route follows the east coast, so there's a chance to spot dolphins along the way, and on the return you pass the Pefkos coastline before heading back to Lardos.

Light lunch and drinks (white wine, beer, juices and still water) are served during the day. If you're interested in sailing itself, the captain welcomes active help with the boat. Otherwise, you can simply relax and let the crew handle it.
