Preserving and protecting marine life by creating a protected area for marine species is the sustainable mission of Bluetopia Marine Park. Greece's first and only private aquatic park is located in the most fertile ecosystem of the Mediterranean Sea.
This tour explores four islands with limits to human activity. The day at sea delves into marine life, biodiversity and conservation issues. Participants get up close and personal with aquatic life in its natural habitat as they dive and swim with more than 50,000 bream, majestic stingrays and tuna weighing up to 250 pounds, and endemic Mediterranean marine macrophytes. Bluetopia's friendly team of professional marine biologists and passionate ecologists lead this excursion, exploring uninhabited rocky islets with isolated beaches. Masks, flippers and snorkels are provided.
The day starts with a transfer from your hotel to Kamiro Skala in Rhodes to board the private boat. The cruise passes the islands of Makri and Strongyli on the way to Alimia, where a marine farm offers a rare opportunity to feed and later swim with thousands of fish. If ocean conditions are favourable (as they usually are), there is a 90% chance of swimming with playful bottlenose dolphins.
The last stop is on the island of Halki, where you will enjoy a seafood fry of sea bream, octopus and squid in one of the island's many taverns. In addition, the comfortable boat is stocked with delicious Greek delicacies including fresh fruit and other snacks, refreshments and cold beer.
This is an excursion you should not miss during your adventure in Rhodes. In addition to the unforgettable experiences you'll have, the Bluetopia staff takes photos of guests above and below the water's surface. Usually, by the afternoon, the photos will have been emailed to you. Return to the hotel for dinner.
