Sail across Santorini’s beautiful ‘caldera’ (flooded crater) and visit the islands of Nea Kameni and Thirasia on this 6-hour cruise. Board a sightseeing boat from the old port, and admire Santorini’s cliffs and as you cruise to Nea Kameni. Enjoy free time to walk around its volcanic crater, swim in the warm springs, and visit Thirasia island. Explore and have lunch here at leisure before cruising back to Santorini.

I researched similar trips before our holiday and most were shockingly expensive. This one seemed great value especially as it allowed you to opt out of the transfers (almost reducing the price by half!) We travelled from our resort (Kamari) to Fira by bus, then by cable car down to the Old Port. The boat was beautiful, like a pirate ship from a story. The host, Anna, met us on the quayside. There was plenty of room to sit both out on deck or in the cabin. There was a bar selling drinks and snacks for affordable prices. First stop was the volcano island (5 euros admission). Anna gave us a guided tour to the top - very informative. It was hard work hiking to the top but well worth it - it was a breezy May day, in July or August it would have been sweltering! Next stop was offshore from another island where we could swim from the boat to the hot sulphur springs at the shoreline. Then next stop Therasia island where we had lunch at one of the harbour restaurants (not too expensive and lots of variety) and explored the sea front, paddled and climbed part of the way up to old town. After that we cruised back to Fira taking in some photo opportunities as we passed beautiful Oia, with music playing on the boat. Very happy with this great value and very enjoyable trip. Anna was fabulous and kept everything very well organised.

What a great day visiting three spots - hiking the caldera, swimming in hot springs and having lunch in Thirasia. The boat was an old fashioned sailing boat which was so cool, and the boat ride was really fun especially at the end of the day when it cruised along the coast from Oia to Fira. They played good music and had a happy hour at the bar on the boat. The tour guide gave the tour in English, Spanish and German which was impressive. I will note that it was a large group on the boat so it is not a small intimate tour.

The trip was impeccably organized. Anna our tour guide was engaging and ran a tight ship (figuratively and literally). She made sure we always knew the ships departure times and what the itinerary looked like. As this was my first time in Santorini, I appreciated the overview of the history and also local myths. 10/10 would recommend, I left the tour feeling relaxed and a bit more knowledgeable about this beautiful island.

We throughly enjoyed our 6 hour trip. Climbing the volcano was fantastic, the “hot springs” were freezing, lunch was great (we went to Captain John) and then a great cruise back to port. The crew was great and Captain Sparrow was very knowledgeable and fun!

We loved visiting the volcano and swimming in the hot springs. The cruise around the islands was also beautiful and relaxing. We hiked the steps up Thirasia for lunch and amazing views but probably next time would just enjoy lunch down at the port. Anna was a great tour guide!

Swimming in the Hot Springs and at Thirassia! Also exploring the village at the top, there is a beautiful church there perfect for taking photos - and a lot less crowded than at Oia!
