The 15 Best Caldera Cruises in Santorini

28 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.7 average  ·  from $42

The cliff is 300 metres of layered ash and you cannot see any of it properly from the top. These 15 cruises put you underneath it: which ones stop at the crater, which anchor for a swim, what each costs, and how long you are actually on the water.

Comfort catamaran from Ammoudi in Santorini with BBQ, open bar, and snorkeling near the volcano, plus caldera photo stops. About 5 hours.

“Santorini is very expensive in some parts of the island so don't book the catamaran cruise through your hotel as we were quoted 200 Euros per person but bought it through Viator for 170 Euros for both of us. Excellent small catamaran - there were just 6 of us on board - with a crew of three young guys who were very friendly, informative and cooked us a great barbecue lunch with whatever we wanted to drink throughout the cruise. Very comfortable boat and the guys took great pride in it. We stopped at all the major sights and the cruise lasted just short of 5 hours. Would highly recommend.”

Luxury Santorini sunset caldera cruise with BBQ, drinks, hot springs, swimming and snorkeling, plus hotel pickup and drop-off.

“Very well organised tour. It wasn’t just another boat tour with random “staff”.....this was a well traveled crew who worked beautifully together to make our time on board fun, safe, interesting and relaxing. They cooked us some delicious bbq meats and lovely salads, all served up individually to each person! Wine was delicious, and I really enjoyed time up front in the nets of the boat, and also jumping from the boat to have a refreshing and relaxing swim in the beautiful sea. Obviously, the sunset is magnificent and we also sailed around to all the key spots such as the red, black and white beach to swim in the…”

“It was such a fun friendly experience. The crew were so knowledgeable about the island and interacted with everyone on board.
