This enchanting experience concludes shortly after the sun dips below the horizon, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Santorini's natural beauty.
The cruise begins with a visit to Santorini's famous active Volcano.

The boat will stay at the location for 30 minutes.
Continuing the journey, the boat will sail around the caldera, offering opportunities to capture magnificent photos of the landscape and the houses perched on the cliff edges, all bathed in the magnificent colors of the sunset. Aboard a charming wooden sailing boat, you will enjoy the serene atmosphere, listening to pleasant music, sipping on a glass of local wine, and sharing good company.

This tour was the cherry on the cake!!!
A must if you're in Santorini! Beyond the shops along the way, the diverse smells, and the breathtaking view from the town, getting to see it from the sea and exploring around is essential. The hike to the volcanic island, the stops along the way, and chasing the sunset were unforgettable. And let's talk about the music—wow! Culture, history, a little drink, and a party—what else could you ask for? To top it off, the way back to town is fast, with no queues, so consider this and enjoy Santorini in a different way. This tour was the cherry on the cake—well-organized, safe, fun, and swimming to the springs was a magical experience, A great experience!, Excellent!, Wonderful experience!, A must do!

Absolutely amazing!
It was my birthday and I wanted a unique experience, and since it was my dream to see a volcano, we opted for this tour. My partner was a little apprehensive because of many comments that said they were disappointed with the experience, but I was optimistic and didn't have high expectations. It was worth every second. It exceeded any expectations we could have had. The tour was well organized, and the guide told us that we were the last group of all the tours of the summer season, and fortunately it wasn't full. The group was nice. The hike up the volcano is a show in itself, although it requires a bit of physical effort, it's beautiful to see the landscape from above and feel the heat emanating from the rocks. After that, the dive into the sea to get to the hot springs wasn't so bad, it's scary at first but then as you get further and further into the hot springs it gets shallower and MUCH hotter. Afterwards we were given wine and a sunset show to the sound of the guide's voice and guitar, who also sang happy birthday to me in Greek. I left the comments about the guide and crew for the end because they were exceptional with all the information, but also with all the charisma and support. Everything was very magical and we would give more stars if possible. We are very grateful, thanks to the guide Constantinus (I hope it is written like that).
