Santorini volcanic island cruise with a volcano hike, warm hot springs swim, Thirassia time, and Oia sunset views by coach.
“The event, overall, was worth it. It was a very long day so make sure that you bring sneakers for the volcanic trails. The tour consists of visiting volcanic islands and a we had about 1.5 hours to swim. At the end, we returned to the dock and traveled to Oía via bus. Oía is a FANTASTIC picturesque city with mind boggling views and fantastic sunsets. The boat captain nor the tour guide were very informative.

Private snorkeling cruise from Santorini Old Harbor to volcanic Nea Kameni and Thirassia, with Greek food, wine, and music.
“Alex (the skipper) & George were fantastic! Our kids (13 & 15) loved swimming in the hot springs near the volcano. Word of advice- wear old swim suits, the sulphur will discolor your suits. Snorkeling was enjoyable & easy… lunch was excellent. A perfect 3 hours of being out on the water and seeing Santorini from another view.”
