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”

Review of Santorini’s private tailor-made tour, with Oia, villages, beaches, wineries, pickup, local guides, pricing, and practical tips.

“This private tour was excellent! I would give 6 stars if there is such rating. I actually booked a private tour from another provider through another platform. Disappointed to receive email telling me the provider canceled my booking just days before where I'm already on my way to Santorini by cruise. Glad that I managed to find one via Viator fast enough. The provider was quick to response to my booking and check with me about my details and requirements. George was the person who messaged me and gave me suggestion about the tour. He advised us to start the tour one hour earlier as we booked at 3 pm…”

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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,449 reviews · 5 hours · from $153

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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,302 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $42

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.”
