Great afternoon activity in Santorini

The crew of the Caldera catamaran was fun and friendly and this was a great family activity. The meal prepared on board was fresh and delicious (and better than expected). It was a great afternoon in Santorini.

The scenery is amazing, the crew are really friendly and knowledgeable and the bbq might not look like much but it is very tasty and enough for everyone.

Wonderful catamaran experience

The greatest thing with this trip is the people. Everyone from the driver who drive us to the cruise to the folks who worked and showed us around were professional, friendly and very helpful if we had any questions or needed anything.. The weather was fine and we had a blast

We were told to wait at a specific meeting point, but there was nobody there to meet us. We eventually had to ask someone for help, but they ignored us because we weren't part of their group. For a moment, I genuinely thought we were going to be left behind. I wouldn't recommend this experience. The cruise itself wasn't anything special either, it was just okay.

Great cruise

Our cruise was on the Bonita. The crew was great - informative and fun. The sites we visited and saw from the boat were beautiful and interesting. The food was great and they kept the wine flowing. I’d definitely recommend this excursion to a friend.
