Informative, Pleasant, Fun

The staff was friendly and pleasant. Half way into my trip I got sea sick and I reached out to one of the crew member. He gave me a gum to chew and the captain advise me to drink little bit of coke and eat piece of Pita bread. That did WONDERS for me , within 20 mins I felt great for the rest of the trip. Definitely recommend!!!!!!!’

Unforgettable Day Swimming The Med

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our catamaran tour aboard the Sikinos was truly one of the highlights of our time in Santorini! From the beautiful scenery and swimming stops to the delicious lunch, the entire experience was fantastic. Especially the Shrimp - tzatziki - Pita Bread was to die for!! What really made the day special, though, was our wonderful crew — Thomai, Kristi & Maria. They were warm, attentive, fun, and made us feel completely taken care of from the moment we stepped aboard. They created such a relaxed atmosphere that it felt less like a scheduled excursion and more like spending an incredible day on the water with friends & family! The swimming was amazing, the views of Santorini from the water were spectacular, and lunch was fresh and delicious. There was plenty of time to relax, enjoy the scenery, swim, eat, and simply appreciate where we were — no feeling of being rushed from one stop to the next. A beautiful boat Sikinos, gorgeous Santorini scenery, great food, and an exceptional crew. Thomai, Kristi & Maria absolutely made the experience. If you’re considering a catamaran tour in Santorini, we highly recommend the Sikinos. This is a day we’ll be talking about long after our vacation is over! Thank you, Thomai, Kristi & Maria, for giving us such a memorable day in Santorini! 🇬🇷⛵️💙

Relaxing boating

Great way to spend a morning or afternoon and enjoy time on the water. Minivan picked up/dropped off up near our Airbnb- which was a huge bonus (cabs can be tricky to obtain at times.) The catamaran stopped at multiple places where we could get out and swim; space to lay out in sun on front of catamaran. Food was “ok.” Clean bathrooms.

Best day EVER!

The most magical day! What an incredible surprise to find out that we had the entire catamaran to our group of 9! The boat was pristine, the staff incredible and the food delicious. Kids and adults both loved the experience. They even catered to our gluten and shellfish allergies without issue. I can’t say enough good things. Don’t hesitate to book!

Enjoyed, although with an opinion

We enjoyed the experience a lot, it being a super rewarding day. They have it very well organized. But in my opinion they could spend a little more time at each stop, since in the end you have time where the return trip is very slow and you could have enjoyed the stops more. They don't explain anything about the areas you pass through, and I think the swim in the thermal area is not really in the thermal areas... which is a breach of the program. In this case, they play on the visitor's ignorance.

What better way to see Santorini from the sea!

What a great way to explore Santorini from the sea! We were picked up from our hotel and made our way to the port and had no issues getting assigned and on to our boat. Once the travel started, it was amazing to see Oia and Fira from the sea while we proceeded to the hot springs stop. While we didn't find any hot springs, it was great to swim amongst the volcano created islands. There was a slight change from our itinerary that wasn't bad (went to the Black beach in place of the White beach), we throughly enjoyed the event. The food was amazing and the crew was so fun! Overall, we were very happy with our decision to spend part of the day on this tour. A+!

Great crew and vibes, but fell far short on the itinerary

We had a mixed experience on this catamaran cruise. On the positive side, the logistics were smooth-hotel pickup and drop-off went without a hitch. The boat itself was very nice, the staff friendly, and the food (BBQ) and wine were good. Because our group was full of social people, we made friends and still managed to have fun time overall. However, the actual tour fell way short of what was listed: zero sightseeing information. Even though this is a tourist excursion, the crew never announced or specified what places we were passing or stopping at. Skipped hot springs. The stop at the volcanic hot springs didn’t happen at all. Rushed and unclear swim spit. Snorkeling was capped at 30 minutes, and no one informed us whether we were at the Red or White Beach. Many passengers on board were talking about how vastly different the experience was from the description. While we enjoyed the social atmosphere, it was far too expensive for a tour that included so many important places. They failed to deliver on major itinerary promises.
