Off Road Driving Experience · Rhodes
How to choose
Eight jeep tours now populate the market with prices ranging from 35 € to 135 €. At 35 €, Rhodes Adventures' self-drive option in Northern Rhodes runs 6 hours to a full day and puts you behind the wheel, which means more raw control and more adrenaline per euro. The two Uncharted Escapes tours both run 8 hours and include everything in the price: at 115 € for the North Rhodes route and 135 € for the South Rhodes route, you're paying for a guided, all-inclusive format where logistics are handled for you. The southern route costs 20 € more because it covers remoter terrain, farther from the main resorts. For those seeking premium full-day coverage, Cretanholidays offers routes up to 135 €. If intensity and budget matter most, go self-drive. If you want a longer guided day with no planning, pick the south.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an off-road driving licence to join the self-drive tour?
A standard driving licence is sufficient for the self-drive jeep tours. No special off-road certification is required, and several tours like those from Rhodes Adventures and Uncharted Escapes are listed as “Everybody welcome” for physical level.
What's the most intense of the tours?
The Southern Rhodes route covers the island's more isolated and rugged terrain, making it the most demanding drive. The self-drive options in the north add intensity through direct vehicle control, putting the challenge entirely in your hands.
How long will I actually be driving?
The self-drive tour with Rhodes Adventures runs 6 hours to a full day. Both guided tours from Uncharted Escapes are fixed at 8 hours, which includes stops, meals and transfers.
What languages are the tours available in?
The self-drive tour with Rhodes Adventures runs in German, Russian, Greek, French, English and Dutch. The two Uncharted Escapes tours operate in Greek and English only.
Is pickup included or do I need to get to a meeting point myself?
Hotel pickup is offered on several tours. Rhodes Adventures picks up from hotels west of Rhodes Town to Fanes or east to Kolimbia. Uncharted Escapes collects from listed locations across Rhodes, which you specify at booking.

Practical info
Equipment
All tours with a listed physical level are open to everyone, but an 8-hour day on unpaved tracks means sun protection is non-negotiable: bring a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses. Closed shoes grip far better than sandals when you step out on rocky terrain.
Getting there
Hotel pickup is available across Rhodes on multiple tours, so no transport planning is needed on your end: just specify your accommodation when booking.
