Itinerary
Santorini Volcano
The excursion starts from the picturesque old port. It is only accessible by cable car which is the most common way as it takes 3 minutes to go down, 587 steps on foot or for those who love adventure, the local donkeys. You should pay 6€ per way either for the cable car ticket or to ride the donkeys. You will be surprised with the steep slopes and in the end the tiny port will appear under these huge rocks and the cave houses that seem to dangle on the cliff. The guide of your excursion will be waiting for you, to give you all the information and to orientate you on the boat. Our first destination will be the famous volcano of Santorini! After 20 minutes, we will reach Nea Kameni’s jetty. Should you are interested to be guided at the volcano, you should pay 5 euro/ per person entrance fee. Then, you will walk to the volcano’s ridge with your guide and he is going to explain everything about the history and the geology of the volcano. You will stay at the volcanic island for 1.5hr
Palea Kameni
Next stop will be the island of Palea Kameni where the famous hot springs are located. A place that is popular for its thermal waters. We stop there for 30 min at a distance of 30 meters from the shallow waters of Agios Nicholaos’ beach. Waters are mixed with mud and are full of sulfur, iron and other metals coming from the volcano and they are very good for the skin, rheumatism, arthritis and other physical pains. In order to reach Agios Nicholaos’ beach is essential to swim extremely well.
Thirassia
Sailing above the underwater craters from Palia Kameni to Thirasia Island, the boat will anchor close to the island in order to enjoy your dinner or snack. Our staff will prepare everything for you so as to relax and enjoy our Greek tasteful buffet while capturing amazing photos of the Aegean sea. The end of the excursion comes on sunset time. We set sail and the sun dives to the sea. Our boat will stop very close to Oia village where you will have the chance to watch the warm light of the setting sun under the violet sky before the night falls. This is the most unforgettable experience as the Caldera and the village of Oia will turn into gold colour. Your trip in this sanctuary of romance is going to be in your memories and your hearts forever!

Very nice activity for learning and relaxing!
Magnificent boat, friendly staff. Fantastic swimming, interesting tour... Very pleasant day.

Overall a great time!!!
Come prepared & it will be amazing! Walking up the volcano? Wear good walking sandles or shoes (Worth the 5 euro!). Don’t want to buy snacks or water? Bring your own stash. Wear your suit, jump in the water! Dinner is delicious, but don’t expect it to be piping hot..you’re on a boat, remember. It’s buffet and you’re welcome to second servings of food & drink during dinner. Crew is fun, kind and keep you safe. It was a great time!!!!

A Highlight of Our Trip to Santorini
The Santorini Volcano Sunset Cruise was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece! The scenery from the volcano was absolutely breathtaking, the swimming stops were refreshing, and watching the sunset from the boat was unforgettable. The crew was friendly and organized, and the dinner on board was delicious. It was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and spectacular views. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Santorini!

Average Tour but misleading advertising description
The tour itself was run professionally, on time, going to all destinations with a fantastic sunset night cruise being the highlight. The food was average with not enough space to eat properly and the dinner location was next to piles of rubbish. The Viator description was misleading: 1. Information provided didnt describe the option to swim in multiple locations.so consequently we didnt take bathers or towels - poor description and lack of clarity. 2. There should be an option to stay on the boat and cruise around the island being visited if you dont want to do the volcanic walk 3 full boat fo sails image is very misleading as it was only 10mins of sails up with no sailing 4. French guiide had difficult english to understand.
