“It was a total experience of a lifetime. The crews are kind and welcoming. Hats off for the kindness and safe tour. The grilled chicken and salad were tasty.”
Santorini sunset wine tour with pickup, 3 wineries, tastings of 10 wines, and dinner included. Small-group vibe, big views.
“Nicolas was an excellent driver and tour guide. He was knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. I appreciated his communication about pick up time and location; he was very reliable. The food and wine were good. The final 2 wineries had great ambience. Well worth the time and money spent for a fun and memorable evening.”
Walk up Nea Kameni, soak in Santorini hot springs, then enjoy a sunset dinner cruise with wine, Thirasia swimming, and big caldera views.
“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…”
Kamari at Dimitris: Greek buffet, unlimited wine and beer, live bouzouki music, costume dancers, and plate smashing. 3 hours.
“We had such a wonderful evening! The show was fantastic, and they even celebrated our anniversary, which made the night truly unforgettable. The food was delicious, and the dancers were full of energy and amazing talent. Everything was beautifully organized, and we felt so warmly welcomed. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Santorini”

Santorini sunset sea kayaking from Mesa Pigadia past black, white, and red beaches, swim in caves, then enjoy a Greek taverna dinner.
“We had the most wonderful time on the Sunset Sea Kayak tour. From start to finish, everything was perfect. Our guide, Niki, was an absolute star! She was professional, knowledgeable, and hilarious. She explained everything clearly and made sure we all felt safe and connected. Her energy brought the entire group together, and we were all laughing and having a great time. It was a pleasure to be led by her. The light dinner during the tour was also a fantastic experience. The restaurant staff were so kind and made my wife feel special by preparing a delicious vegan meal for her. We really appreciated their thoughtfulness. Even the transportation…”
Santorini sunset sailing cruise from Vlychada: Red Beach, volcano hot springs, swims, Greek dinner, BBQ, open bar, transfers.
“Une expérience fabuleuse merci à l'équipage tout était parfait.la nourriture aussi .Le transfert aussi”
Sail Santorini’s caldera at sunset, hike the volcano, swim hot springs, then enjoy a Greek buffet dinner with wine on board.
“I’ve never felt so disrespected on a trip. The captain and crew were wonderful, but the guide’s behavior was appalling—rude, dismissive, and even yelling at guests. Instead of relaxing and enjoying our vacation, we ended up paying to be treated poorly. When we addressed it, the company’s response was nothing but empty apologies. No accountability, no attempt to make it right, no compensation. That silence speaks volumes about how little they value their customers. Travel is supposed to create lasting good memories. Unfortunately, this company left us with the opposite. For your own peace of mind, I strongly recommend booking with someone else.”
A Santorini Greek night in Kamari with a 3-hour dinner buffet, unlimited drinks, live bouzouki music, and interactive folk dancing.
“What an amazing evening out . The entertainment was excellent from the musicians to the dancers . The musicians sang beautifully and played the Bouzouki's so well , really lovely to listen to and the dancers were great . This is a very interactive experience and the crowd gets to dance and do their moves on the floor with the dancers . This was a fun evening especially when one of you friends start taking over the dance floor and looks like he is doing the dance of the dying pink flamingo in Greek . The food was really good considering it is buffer and the wine - well there…”
Sunset fishing off Santorini with hotel pickup, shrimp nets, optional snorkeling, and a fresh fish dinner with unlimited drinks.
“Very relaxing, entertaining & educational. Our tour took place in a large boat with three crew, fishing rods were given out & we all watched the crew pull up fishing nets. The crew were very knowledgeable about the ocean, marine life & Santorini.”
Private 5-hour Santorini sunset sail with dinner, unlimited beer and wine, and round-trip transfers. Visit Red, White, and Thirassia.
“Our Captain George and First mate Ina, we’re top notch hosts on our private sunset tour. They allowed us to see all the brilliance of the Caldera and worked hard to avoid crowded areas. We enjoyed the beauty of the Caldera in its entirety while hearing personal tales of sea and love. Our adult children swam in a quiet spot with ocean life beneath. The food served was prepared with personal touch and attention. It was delicious and one of our favorite meals while in Santorini! We highly recommend this crew for your Sunset adventure!!!”
5-hour Santorini sunset cruise from Vlychada: Red and White Beach views, hot springs, Thirasia swim, BBQ dinner and open bar.
“The cruise and staff were wonderful. The food and views amazing! Maybe a little more people then I’d like on a boat but that’s ok!”
Sail Santorini at golden hour with a Nea Kameni volcano visit, optional hot springs swim, dinner onboard, and a sunset show near Thirasia.
“Fantastic experience! Really handy being picked up and taken to the Port. Really friendly staff and a great tour. Our tips would be to make sure you wear or pack proper walking shoes for the hike as the track is loose gravel and to bring cash as it is 5 euro to go up Nea Kameni which goes to the national park. Food is a tasty and simple Greek buffet. The swimming spots are both lovely and the sunset beautiful. Would highly recommend.”
8-hour Santorini caique sunset cruise with volcano sailing, hot-springs swim, dinner, and Ifestia fireworks on Sep 21.
“tutto bellissimo, buffet per cena, tramonto spettacolare, acque termali stupende dove abbiamo fatto il bagno e infine fuochi d’artificio mozzafiato”
Every kind of day on the island, and the best of each.
