Santorini · CRUISES & BOAT TOURS
The caldera only makes sense from inside it. The 15 below run from a three-hour crater crossing to a full day under sail with lunch aboard, each priced and clear about how much swimming time you actually get.

Sail Santorini’s caldera by catamaran with Red and White Beach views, hot springs, swimming, BBQ, wine, transfers, and sunset options.
“This was a great experience that I would recommend to anyone. The transportation was on time, quick and comfortable. The food provided was, I think, delicious and traditional. They offered drinks around the clock. The time on the boat was just right. The sunset was beautiful! My only regret is that they didn’t face the front of the boat, where most people were sitting towards the sunset, so some of us had to move and stand on the side of the boat to get a good view of the sunset. However, it was still gorgeous to watch and they did go around and offer to take photos of you with…”
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”

“Seriously the best catamaran cruise I have ever been on. Credit to George and his team who were most hospitable and provided the most enjoyable half day. The boat was impeccable, chef cooked up a feast and the site seeing and swimming locations were unbelievable. Best activity I’ve done in many years.”
Review of Santorini’s 5-hour catamaran cruise with Greek meal, drinks, swimming stops, volcanic hot springs, and sunset views.
“The cruise was beautiful, and the crew was lovely! The food on board was delicious and there was an unlimited bar of sodas, beers and wine. We enjoyed all 3 stops, particularly the stop where we could snorkel with the provided gear! Everyone on board was also very kind and friendly which made the trip great! The only area for improvement would be communications regarding logistics. We were awaiting to be picked up from the meeting spot, but a van under a different company name than what we booked under was apparently there to pick us up. They were calling names for about 15 minutes but never called our name,…”
Cruise Santorini’s volcanic coast by catamaran, swim at Red Beach and hot springs, enjoy a BBQ and drinks, and watch an Aegean sunset.
“I booked this trip at the very last minute, and the team stepped forward in the most awesome ways. First, the woman at the office was very helpful, she quickly arranged transportation after we landed at the airport (they picked us up in 9 minutes!) My friend is 83 years old and walks a little slower than others, but they made a point to accomodate him at every juncture. This 3-person team worked in tandem throughout the trip. They helped another guest who was sick the entire trip, while making sure all other guests were having a great experience. We went to three different locations, where we could jump in…”
Sail Santorini’s caldera on a small-group Lagoon 450 cruise with swimming, snorkeling, a fresh BBQ, unlimited drinks, and sunset views.
“Wonderful ride even on a very windy day. Highly recommend sunset to avoid the heat, and get a great view that those on land are fighting for. The food was yummy, the staff were kind, and the boat was nice. We had about 13 or so people of the boat so not over crowded and enough space to spread out a bit. Overall a lovely day.”
Review of Santorini’s caldera cruise to the volcano, sulfur hot springs, and Thirassia, with practical tips on swimming, fees, crowds, and value.
“We enjoyed this excursion that took us to hike the volcano, swim in the hot springs, and visiting Thirassia. We visited in early October so it wasn’t too hot for the hike. The water was a little cold when we jumped in, but we got used to it quickly. The hot springs weren’t that hot but it was still a cool experience. We had gyros for lunch on Thirassia before heading back.”

Hike Santorini’s volcanic Nea Kameni, swim toward Palea Kameni’s warm springs, and enjoy caldera views on a practical 3-hour boat tour.
“This was a very well organised informative and fun 3 hour boat / hike and swim trip. 30e each is not expensive for what you get - but people on a budget need to factor in the cable car costs. We loved it. The boat was great and the staff were helpful and friendly. We read the 1 star reviews before we booked and they were by people who had not read or thought before they set off. Things like it being too hot (in Greece in summer, really?!) or wanting a discount because they didn't want the swim bit (as if that's a thing). It was a great way…”
