“Kindness of people and beautiful surroundings . Unique experience with the crater. Loved it !”
Santorini caldera cruise from Fira with volcano hike, warm hot springs swim, and independent Thirassia time, guided and good value.
“Good instructions about where to meet and easy to find. The main thing is how long it will take to go down from Fira downtown to the port - the cable car ride is just a few minutes but it may not be running at full capacity. For us, it was so the down journey was less than 10 minutes including a short wait. The boat itself was mostly but not completely full - it was easy to check in and find a spot to sit. They played music that was a little loud but not too bad. The volcano was fun - the island itself wasn't that interesting but…”
8-hour Santorini cruise with Nea Kameni volcano hike, Palia Kameni hot springs swim, Thirasia stop, and sunset dinner with wine.
“It was such an amazing day the hike up the volcano wasn’t too hard (we did it in flip flops!) make sure you bring sunscreen coz it really is sunny up there!! The swimming spots were ✨stunning✨ but make sure you wear a dark swimsuit or the Sulfur will stain. The food was incredible and the free wine wasn’t bad either 😉 the bar staff were lovely and drinks were strong and yummy! Good value for money. Our Guide was fantastic and spoke 7 languages!! We finished the day dancing the Zorba and laughing til our sides hurt. The sunset was breathtaking and we made some great friends on board…”

“The trip was flawless. Picked up on time and transport ready to take as back at the port at the end of the trip. The guide was very explanatory. Views from the volcano crater and the boat are out of thos world. The swim to the volcanic waters was not too far although be careful as in some parts there are underlying rocks. We had a lovely stop off for 2 hours in Therasia. Overall a fantastic trip 👌”
Cruise to Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni, walk toward an active volcano crater, swim in warm sulphur waters, and relax on Thirassia.
“Brilliant day, pickup was about 5 mins after the advertised time but absolutely fine. Our guide was very good and the stops were excellent. We anchored in a small hot spring bay and was the only 'tour' ship there. The stop in Thirassia was 2 hours and we climbed to the villiage and had enough time for lunch and get back on board. Highly recommended.”

“Its a good experiencie bur use the rigth shoes is a long walk”
Sail from Santorini Old Port to the active Nea Kameni volcano and Palea Kameni hot springs, with audio plus optional crater hike.
“this was overall a great activity. the boat was nice, the volcano walk was really interesting and our guide was very nice and very helpful. It would have has 5 stars however when we did the swimming activity we had to jump off the side of the boat to get in the water myself and my partner would have preferred to just go down a ladder and we didn't find that part of the experience pleasant. the swimming was great once we were in and of course the ladder then came out so we could get back in.”
Full-day Nisyros volcano trip from Kos with a boat ride, crater walk, Mandraki town time, and the optional Panagia Spiliani monastery.
“We found the trip amazing value for money & really enjoyed the day. All the buses & boat pick ups went smoothly & Mandraki (where you have free time) was beautiful, with plently of authentic Tavernas to eat in & souvenir shops! We recommend Oxos for vegan visitors! The Monastery was post card Greece & well worth the steps up & €2 entry. It doesn't take a lot of time but the views are so pretty from up top. The volcanic crater was facinating & you could see it & read about it from up high, as well as walk down into it. If you didn't want to walk down…”

“Sadly my gf and I couldn't do the hike to the volcano or the swimming because I had hurt my t-band muscle and could walk up steep inclines yet and she had twisted her ankle in Thessaloniki before we got to Santorini. But did get to meet some interesting people see the spots and the great views from the ship. Also, learned a little more of the history of the sea, volcano and sulfer hot springs and did get to walk around Thirassia.”
