“Loved this volcano and sunset cruise. I am not very fit myself but managed to get to the top of the volcano with few stops to catch my breath. Really enjoyed the views and was able to learn a lot about the geological past of this island. I am not a great swimmer so didn't swim in the sea but my husband did and he enjoyed it. The water didn't stain his swimming trunks much, so it was ok. The staff was very organised and helped people to get it and out easily, rinsed them with warm water after the swim, which according to my husband was great... The dinner…”

“The Santorini Sunset Luxury Sailing Catamaran Cruise was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, everything was so well organized — the transfer was smooth, the crew was friendly and fun, and the atmosphere onboard was incredible. The BBQ meal was delicious (honestly one of the best we had in Santorini!), and the unlimited drinks kept the good vibes going. We swam, relaxed, watched the most beautiful sunset, and even made new friends along the way. Such a fun and unforgettable experience — I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Santorini! ⛵️🌅”
5-hour Santorini sunset catamaran with hotel pickup, volcano sailing, hot springs, snorkeling stops, BBQ, and included wine and drinks.
“Pros: Connection with hotel shuttle, they take care of everything, food was of good quality. Cons: Too many people on the boat compared to other trips I have done so it lacked a personal feel. Also the music was terrible- during sunset hour where we wanted to enjoy the view and relax, they were blasting on full volume the Macarena and Pitbull- totally out of place. I would book a different one next time.”
Every kind of day on the island, and the best of each.
