it was breathtaking, so much fun and the energy from the passengers to the crew was amazing, we saw so many beautiful views and swam at so many gorgeous places despite the cold water 😅 The food was so delicious I couldn't even click a picture of it with good portions too.
The crew were fantastic, kept us safe, made it fun and taught us a lot about the island and the stops we made. Seeing the sunset at the end of the cruise was beautiful too.
What a fun day! The crew was awesome! Food was yummy and the views just amazing!! The boat was so comfortable laying out on the front was so enjoyable!
What a treat this was! If you are in Santorini, please do not miss out!!! This was the highlight of the trip. The crew was FANTASTIC and the food - yum - thee water - perfect! Thank you!!!
Just the whole trip was great.. but as an older person. Cappuccino would have bin nice.relaxing. food was very good.
Very nice experience! Prompt communication, convenient pick up/drop off, very helpful and friendly crew, delicious food, clean boat, beautiful cruise BUT the offer included snorkelling equipment which was not provided (because COVID bla bla) and the description was not updated. They should make sure the info is up-to-date so people can bring their own snorkel gear. Except for that, I would def recommend this activity.
I have to say this was a great idea. The staff and the boat was so clean, the water was amazing and the food was delicious. We saw the red beach, the white beach and swam in the middle of the ocean. Def recommend this!
We were picked up from Fira at 8:30am by minibus and taken to Amoudi Bay with stops along the way to pick up other people. Next we registered and were given numbers depending on what boat we were on. We perched ourselves on the edge of the side of the boat so we could get a good view of the island as we sailed across the Caldera. Our first stop was Hot Springs for swimming at the mineral waters of the Volcano. In real terms it should be called ever so slightly not so cold springs. The Water here is turbid with the sulphur so not much point in snorkeling here. Don’t wear white bathing costumes or the sulphur will stain them. After 30 mins we then sail past Aspronisi, Ancient Lighthouse, Akrotiri and Indian Rock on to our next stop at the Red Beach for swimming and snorkeling. We were advised not to go onto the beach because of a recent rock fall but there were people on the beach prepared to chance it. 30 minutes later we’re off again to the White beach this time, for more swimming and snorkeling. I thought this place was the best for snorkeling as there is good visibility and a fair few fish around. We get a lovely BBQ here and there was loads of food for seconds. We get 90 mins here before sailing back to Ammoudi Bay and the Bus back. It was a lovely trip, just remember to take sun tan lotion, a Great way to top up your tan. There will be some Great opportunities to take some fantastic photos, so don’t forget your camera. A good relaxed atmosphere on board, well worth it.
