Tongo Island Tour

While everyone crowds onto Ksamil's 4 islands, to the south lies Tongo: a wild, rocky island with small caves, clear seabeds and water that has nothing to envy the Caribbean. No kiosks, no sunbeds, no music: just rocks, sea and a handful of other visitors.

The tour lasts half a day and starts from €60 per person: cruising along the southern coast, a loop around the island, snorkelling stops in the most sheltered coves and free time. It costs more than the classic islands tour precisely because it's longer and far less visited.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How much is the Tongo island tour?

From €60 per person for the half day. The higher price versus the islands tour reflects the distance and duration. Exact price on WhatsApp.

Is Tongo worth it compared to the Ksamil islands?

If you're after nature and quiet, yes: it's another world compared to the crowded islands. If you just want an easy swim near shore, the classic €20 tour is enough.

Is there anything to eat on the island?

No: Tongo is uninhabited with no facilities. Bring everything from Ksamil or ask on WhatsApp whether the tour includes a sandwich on board.

Does the tour run daily?

Almost daily in high season, but it depends on the sea and a minimum number of participants: confirm the day before on WhatsApp.
