Rhodes: Dolphin Watching & Marine Biologist Snorkel Cruise

Greek Islands



Spot wild dolphins near Makri, snorkel crystal-clear waters at Stroggyli, and learn about Rhodian marine life and aquaculture with a marine biologist. Underwater photos included.

Highlights

  • See wild bottlenose dolphins around Makri Islet (high chance, not guaranteed)
  • Learn about dolphins, aquaculture, and local ecosystems from a marine biologist
  • Snorkel the clear waters of Stroggyli Islet in a protected area
  • Enjoy beginner-friendly snorkeling with guidance in the water
  • Take home underwater photos from your swim stop

Description

Set off from Kamiros Skala on a small boat cruise designed for nature lovers. First, cruise toward Makri Islet, one of the best areas in Rhodes to look for wild bottlenose dolphins. Your marine biologist will share insights about dolphin behavior, the local sea life, and how aquaculture works in this part of the Aegean, so you’ll understand what you’re seeing, not just snap photos. Next, head to Stroggyli Islet, a protected area known for its clear water and marine biodiversity. Jump in for a guided snorkeling session (no experience needed). Your guides will point out marine creatures such as sea urchins and sea stars, and capture underwater photos so you can relive the moment later. On the return journey, you’ll pass by Makri again for a second dolphin-spotting opportunity. This experience is ideal for couples, families, and first-time snorkelers looking for a fun, educational, and responsible way to experience Rhodes from the sea.
