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!”

“Very good boat experience. We had a nice relaxing time. Did some swimming in the Sea. It was nice and refreshing. The crew was terrific. Lunch was very nice. Swam in the hot springs which were kind of warm here and there. From the description I was under the impression we were walking up to the volcano, snorkeling and walking around the town of Oia. We didn’t snorkel which was okay with me but I was looking forward to. We saw the Volcano but didn’t walk up to it and didn’t stop at red beach either like it was advertised. For those reasons have to give it four stars. It…”
