Itinerary

Admission not included120 min

The ship will remain there for 1 hour and 15 minutes and if you want, you can follow the small path to reach the top where the active craters are located. There you can take pictures ,see the rocks still smoking and where it strongly smells brimstone.

40 min

After your return back to the ship,we depart for the island of Palaia Kameni where the hot springs are located , the famous natural mud baths, which have been created after the volcanic eruptions. In the small bay of St.Nickolas,the water temperature varies from 30 to 35 degrees Celcius , as it constantly mixes with the normal seawater. The ship remains here about 30 minutes and you have the opportunity for swimming. It's quite a time since there is no beach but you should climb down the stairs of the boat.You have to swim about 30 meters until the interior of the small bay of the Hot Springs.

Very good moment

Very good experience, enough time to explore the volcano trails and to swim in the hot springs. Good value for money Opportunity to buy drinks and snacks on board The organization at the port could perhaps be clearer, but I still recommend this tour

A Pleasant Boat Ride

It was pleasant being on the water and getting a sea view of the beautiful Santorini Coast. The ship was comfortable and had plenty of shade. Based on the previous reviews we did not go in the water at the hot springs nor did we walk to the volcano.

Operator response

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review. We're glad you enjoyed the comfort of our ship and the stunning sea views of Santorini. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to see you again soon!

A unique and enjoyable experience at a reasonable price

A lovely day overall! Just to give a heads up on a couple of things though-the boat leaves from Fira OLD PORT. This means u can only get there by cable car (there may be a line), donkeys or the pathway that is 900 steps going down. Also bring shoes appropriate for hiking the trail at the volcano ex sneakers-there is loose rocks and it can be slippery. We had a wonderful time though-a unique experience!

We really appreciate your feedback and are glad you had a great experience.

Reservation for a French-speaking guide, which is not the case.

Reservation for an excursion with a French-speaking guide. The guide only spoke English and was quite indifferent.

Operator response

Dear Guest, thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize that your tour was not conducted in French as booked. Unfortunately, on that specific day, our French-speaking guide was ill with pneumonia. In our effort to avoid canceling your excursion at the last minute, we sent a replacement guide who did not speak French well. We appreciate your understanding regarding this unexpected situation.

Nice, but extremely crowded.

Overall, a very nice tour that is worth it; the staff is super nice and friendly. However, the advertisement states a maximum of. 50 people, and there were 130 on board. I generally find that unacceptable and it feels like a scam.

Thank you so much for your review and for your kind words about our friendly staff and the overall tour experience. We are truly sorry to hear that the number of passengers onboard did not match your expectations based on our description; please accept our sincere apologies for this oversight, as this was an isolated incident due to a large school group that joined the excursion on that specific day. We want to assure you that this was absolutely not a scam or an attempt to deceive our guests, but rather an exceptional circumstance. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us and we always try to make everyone feel comfortable on our excursions.

Nice excursion, pity...

Beautiful excursion, pity it is not offered in French, yet selected during my booking. The water was cold, so no swimming.

Operator response

Thank you for your review and we are glad you enjoyed the excursion overall. Regarding the language, we sincerely apologize that French was not provided. We suspect the guide may have overlooked the language preferences among the participants, and we will address this with our team to ensure better coordination. As for the water temperature, the Hot Springs are naturally mixed with the sea. Therefore, the warmth depends significantly on the sea temperature and the weather conditions at the time. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again!

Hot springs and volcano tour

This was a great experience. We enjoyed this excursion. Although the swim to the hot springs was a bit chilly (we went in April) it was still fun. Don't wear a white swimsuit though as the sulfur in the water will turn it orange/brown. The volcano was interesting and our guide was great. I think he also spoke 10 different languages fairly well. Well done!

Operator response

We appreciate your feedback! We’re happy you had a memorable experience.
