Santorini: Volcanic Islands Cruise with Hot Springs Visit

1.Volcanic Islands Cruise with Hot Springs Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 10,869 reviews · 3 - 10 hours · from $29Our pick

Sail aboard a traditional wooden boat through Santorini’s caldera, hike Nea Kameni’s volcanic slopes, and swim near Palea Kameni. You’ll also stop at Thirassia for another swim. The basic cruise returns around 15:45. Add the Oia option for 2 to 3 hours in the village and sunset views, with bus transport afterward.

“This tour was a highlight of my visit - the team on the boat were friendly and the guide was passionate about the history of the islands and the volcano and he explained it very well! It is off-season so we had the crater and the thermal springs to ourselves - you do have to jump off the boat and swim over to them (this time of year the waters were lukewarm but still very nice!). The views are incredible!”

“The trip as a whole was fantastic. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped off at the boat. The boat ride there was about 2hrs to St George's Bay. I would recommend taking travel sickness tablets if you get sea sick. St George's bay was beautiful, I would also recommend bringing your own snorkel as these are not provided on board. They do however provide woggles which my girlfriend made good use of (she's 25 years old). The island of Symi was also really nice, although quite busy as it is a tourist hot-spot. Would definitely recommend this trip.”

“The crew was friendly and personable and the food was very good. There was very little shade on the boat and we spent the day dodging the sun. The picture shows the extent of the shade other than the cockpit and cabin for 8 hours in the sun. There also wasn't any fresh water to wash off after swimming. The first island we stopped at didn't have much of interest. This first stop could be missed and more time spent at the swimming stop”
