This 5-hour day tour constitutes an ultimate experience in Santorini as it gives you the chance to embark on an awe-inspiring adventure around the island, explore the most iconic beaches of Santorini, relax in spectacular natural surroundings and admire magnificent views in just a few hours.
The luxurious catamaran departs from Ammoudi Port of Oia or Athinios Port south of Fira respectively, at 09:30 and sails along the west coastline of Santorini, below the captivating caldera. The first stop is close to the world-famous volcano and its healing Hot Springs. After this unique experience you’ll sail past Aspronisi, a small uninhabited island and Akrotiri settlement where you will revere the beautiful lighthouse and Indian rock, a rock formation on the caldera that resembles an Indian face. The next stop is the breathtaking Red Beach, which is one of the most popular beaches of Santorini for its extraordinary color and staggering cliffs, where you can swim and snorkel.
Then you’ll set sail for the secluded White Beach, another impressive beach of the island as its name indicates which is only accessible by boat. After swimming and snorkeling below its towering white cliffs in crystal clear waters, you will enjoy a savory barbeque on board. The Greek menu includes grilled pork or chicken, roasted vegetables, stuffed vine leaves and Greek salad. There is also a vegetarian meal available. Of course the famed white Santorinian wine and soft drinks are included in the price, too.
The final stop is back at Ammoudi or Athinios Port where the tour ends. Transport from/to your hotel is included. Please note that the tour offers a map with useful information on the attractions and destinations, free Wi-Fi and snorkeling equipment but you have to bring your own towel and warm clothes if you wish. Finally, the vessels will anchor as close to the aforementioned beaches as possible, since they cannot moor directly on them.

Amazing!!
Highly recommend for a great view of all the key points of Santorini. Getting to see the volcano, lighthouse, red beach, and white beach all in one trip was a perfect way to see the island for the first time. The staff was amazing, the food was delicious and very filling, and the included wine was a great bonus for a great price.

Catamaran BBQ Cruise
Weather wasn’t great on the day but that cannot be helped and bares no reflection on the excursion. The staff were welcoming to begin with but after the initial welcome talk and going through the plan for the day they didn’t really engage much with the guests. I feel when the weather lets down a day on the sea the staff could engage more and maybe talk about the scenery as we pass or what kind of sea life live in the waters surrounding the island. Food was cooked well, plenty for all the guests with plenty left over. Blankets were handed out due to it being slightly colder and over cast. I maybe wouldn’t go again as felt I have been on better excursions on the island instead of at sea

In addition, the waves are usually small, especially inside the Caldera where most boat cruises make stops for swimming. So, based on the above, if you enjoy swimming, snorkeling, or even diving... you are in the right place!
