★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 3,678 reviews · 5 - 6 hours · from $129Our pick

Sail Santorini’s caldera by luxury catamaran with Greek food, open bar, swim stops, snorkeling, hot springs, and an Oia sunset.

“The crew were very good at their job. Evi the captain went out of her way to make it perfect. When all the other boats turned back because of choppy water, she waited to make sure we all got our pictures of the fabulous Santorini sunset. She interacted with all the passengers. Marianna and the young man who was the other crew member made sure we were well looked after and kept our drinks filled. The dinner was very good and way beyond our expectations. We would recommend this activity to anyone visiting Santorini. If you’re lucky you’ll end up with our crew. They’re the best”

Review of Santorini’s volcano, hot springs, Thirassia, and Oia sunset boat trip, with practical advice on costs, walking, timing, and value.

“The trip started with us being collected from our hotel at 9.30am then transported to the new port where we got onto the King Thiras boat. The crew were friendly and well organised. we travelled to the 'volcanic island' with interesting commentary from the excellent guide. The exploration of the island is not for the feint hearted especially in the heat but we'll worth seeing. We went on to hot springs were there was just a short time for people to swim. then it was off to Thirassia for lunch. there are a few places to go in the water here but it's very rocky. After lunch it is a…”

He knew how to get around the busy tourist traps so we could make the most of our time with him. He drove us all over the island and also allowed us time to do some shopping. He was very knowledgeable about the area and was easy to understand. At the end of our tour he dropped us off at the ferry dock so we could catch our ferry to Mykonos. It was a pleasure…”
