About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- B8368UMnikkic0 contributionsTemple worth the trip.Guide was welcoming, informative and knowledgeable. The Temple is interesting. View is spectacular.. . The ride to the cape is scenic. Sunset was nice. We had some cloud cover.Written February 4, 2025
- FellowTraveler7704150 contributionsGreat tripThis was a fabulous trip. I have mobility problems and use a walker. The staff on the boat were so helpful, patient and understanding. The islands were a joy to visit. The food was really plentiful, hot and tasty. I thought it was good value and well organised.Written January 4, 2025
- 428larap0 contributionsVery bad experienceThe worst experience ever! No one contacted me, no refund, they just steel my money for the tour and no emergency contact. No notification at the day before. During the day of the tour all the telephones are turned off, so we can not reach anyone …. Even to ask if I can join the next stop (because I didn’t find the spot and the guide). I just received the answer in the lunch time “no refund” - very fair ))) No offering to reschedule, no call, nothing! No client orientation Please select the other company if you don’t want them just to steal your money!! And I’m reading the reviews… I’m not the only one! Companies like this just spoil the reputation of Greek hospitality! Thank you for the spoiled day, enjoy my money that you are not deserving.Written November 28, 2024
- trixnewjersey0 contributionsLike being in Portugal right at homeSuch a wonderful experience - like being in Portugal. The food was just wonderful - great seafood and sides. The bread is outstanding. But the service was outstanding!!! Our waitress ( from Portugal) could not have been sweeter.Written October 27, 2024
- 99raeesahd0 contributionsWe didnt even get to goIt was horrible as we never even got to go and no one messaged us to tell us that the trip was not happening so we were at the port for 2 hours and we gave up and went home, such a big disappointmentWritten October 22, 2024
- jesspS7537YZ0 contributionsA holiday highlight!We had a great time, appreciating the hard work that goes into making their organic wines and olive oil, as well as the attention to detail that makes their products so special! It’s also fantastic value, the tasting itself and what you can buy in the shop, very reasonable! Highly recommend and thank you so much for one of the highlights of our trip ladies! Jess & JoeWritten October 21, 2024
- Ps81730 contributionsA truly wonderful experienceWe had the most wonderful experience yesterday. A fantastic informative and guided talk all about the history of the estate and how it runs today. We were then treated to a delicious meze and sampled some incredible white wine and the olive oil we have ever tasted! All set in the most beautiful land with sweeping fields of vines and a real sense of peace and Mother Earth.Written October 18, 2024
- 719joanp0 contributionsGood taste of CorfuA big wrinkle at the start of my trip as the transfer bus that was supposed to pick me up never showed. Called listed tour contact number. After a few calls, the first one assured me the bus was on its way, I was directed to take a cab to the first trip stop. Cab ride cost 20 euros which I ate. But on the positive the tour manager meet me at the stop and made sure I hooked up with the tour. Rest of tour was marvelous. Good tour guide, adventuresome driving through the narrow mountain roads and crowded villages. Adequate time at each stop to explore, but not to wander too far.Written October 3, 2024
- Travel318825616320 contributionsLess than perfect weather-still a great excursion!The weather started off greyish, and after having twice had a postponement due to wind and then a crew member's illness, we could fortunately go on our last day on the island, and when the sun came out a little we loved the spectacular scenery and water colours! Would have liked more comments/info during the trip from the skipper about eg the mining machinery, but maybe there's not much to explain. A well-organized trip, and well worth it!Written October 2, 2024

- R3242FUcharlotter0 contributionsAMAZING!!Fantastic day out and we got to see some stunning views as well. Just be prepared for a very long day but definitely worth it :DWritten September 27, 2024
- Gjpurple0 contributionsExcellent half day tripThis tour delivered everything as promised. It was great value for money, all the timings were accurate, snacks were delicious, included drinks were great and the swimming was wonderful. My adult children swam with goggles but as mum I needed a noodle as well. The morning half day trip is highly recommended!Written September 26, 2024
- Wazpot0 contributionsExcellentAmazing service from booking to getting off the boat. Very well organised. The only down side is not enough time on the islands. Felt like it would have been better to just visit Hydra and Aegina and have equal time on those.Written September 22, 2024
- Joep v0 contributionsMeteora in a dayWell organised, nothing to complain about. Meteora was really impressive. A long trip from corfu but definitely doable and worth it.Written September 19, 2024

A very pleasant morning.
Allow 20 minutes if you walk down to the port, where you have to collect first your tickets.
The crossing is quite fast and once there, the climb lasts more or less 25 minutes after paying 2.5 € of fee entrance. The guide was very kind, she explained how Néa Kaméni island took shape. But it also allows you to admire Santorini from another angle. Bring a cap, sunscreen and comfortable sneakers.
Back to the boat, direction the Hot Springs where you have a swimming stop of 30 minutes. Note that your swimsuit may smell sulphur. I personally stayed on board.
And then you come back to Santorini.

Amazing views of the caldera and cliff top houses from the boat journey and volcano itself. The order of our trip changed starting with the hot springs swim and then onto the volcano. History of Volcano’s eruptions and islands evolution is provided. Take a towel and wear your swim clothes ready for the plunge (or steps) into the sea. Only limited changing areas on board, but drinks available to buy on the boat. A few places of shelter on the island but intensely hot in summer. Wear trainers as path is mainly small rocks and stones. Very good value for money. 5 Euros each for volcano entrance.

As many commenters indicated, you must get a paper ticket at the port downstairs. The office was easy to find.
Sneakers or hiking shoes highly recommended for the volcano trip. Some people in my group managed go to the summit and back wearing sandals and even flipflops, but that would be a challenge. The path is largely covered by sharp lava gravel.
Don't forget a bottle of water, it was quite hot.
For termal springs swimming, you could add a pair of water shoes, because there are many sharp rocks in the bottom. Wear dark swimsuit, the bright materials would be stained by iron and sulfur in water, stains difficult to remove.
Generally I am very satisfied with the trip. My 10 year son was fascinated with the views, but he was a little dissapointed seeing no lava flows :) The only visible ongoing volcanic activity were some fumaroles with sulfur stains.
The guide, Anna, was top notch.

Pure mass event. The boat only takes you to the volcano. Access to the volcano must be paid extra.
The climb to the highest point is via a scree path, so bring good shoes and water/sun protection, because there is hardly any shade on the way.
The guide has hardly really explained anything. He was more there to drive the group (about 60 people) up and down once.
What I noticed very negatively was that he even encouraged tourists to take stones/lumps of sulphur as souvenirs! A "professional" guide should never do such a thing!
After the hike on the volcano we went to the "hot springs".
Handwarm is more likely to hit...
You had to jump off the boat into the water and swim a short distance to the shore to see the bubbles. It wasn't 30 minutes. More like 15min. Swim once and back.
If you haven't experienced it, you haven't missed much either.

Due to our cruise ship delaying tethering process for rough waters, we were running late by about 20 minutes. I called from the ship and reported that we were finally heading to the island and the receptionist that answered stated she would be there at the office. Upon our arrival along with another couple that was there before us from the ship and the office was closed. The couple with us reported they were told the tour was canceled and all parties would receive a refund. As yet I have not determined this was done. At this time I am not sure if the tour was canceled due to the rough waters or being 15 to 20 minutes late from the scheduled 1pm time.

The volcano tour is a great way to learn about the formation of Santorini. There is a semi challenging hike involved , but it is worth it. This tour takes you to a portion of the volcano that is still alive today breathing hot air that you can see and touch. Once the hike is over the boat takes you to a hot springs area. This swim up area has cliff face views that even had goats on the mountain side. This was a great add on to the volcano tour.

The Boat Trip was nice even though the space was limited. The first stop at the Vulcanic Island was too long while the stop at the hot springs was very short (maybe 20 minutes).

Awesome tour and good value for money. The boat was very comfortable and clean. The tour guide and the boat operators were courteous and professional. We had enough time to explore the sights that we visited at our leisure, including climbing to the top to take a look at the crater of the volcano. In summary, it was an enjoyable trip.

we took the sunset dinner cruise, and it was the highlight of the trip.
great guide (his name was dada), you go swimming twice, including in the warm water (you can also jump from the ship), the food was very good.

This was an excellent tour the only issue we had was checking in for the trip. The receipt instructed us to go to a travel agent to pick up our tickets. The agency has difficult to find and then told us our receipt was the tickets.
Overall the trip was fun, it was hot at 2 o'clock in the afternoon so bring plenty of water, the hike up the volcano was steep but not bad from this fifty plus hiker.

Salve, volevo un'informazione. E' possibile effettuare solo e unicamente l'escursione al vulcano di Santorini senza le Hot Springs? Ho letto che queste acque termali macchiano molto i costumi e quindi preferirei evitare se possibile. Grazie anticipatamente

We are staying at Eleftheria, Perivolos....how can we travel to the pick up point North of the island?
What is public transport like on the island? How easy is it for tourists to get around?
Thank you
Written July 18, 2019
you should contact them and ask about the pick up, i dont know about perivolos if they can pick you up from there, we stayed in imerovigli and they picked us up from a place near our hotel.
public transport: taxis (which are expensive and not easy to find), buses (KTEL buses, you can check their website for routes and schedules), and rental cars.
