Very disorganized. Tour guides don’t really do anything after the first island. You don’t do anything Except sit on a boat for 30 minutes on the second island. You only have enough time to eat on the third island. A third island has almost nothing to see

We enjoyed the time on the boat and the beautiful scenery, especially around Oia, and enjoyed the volcano caldera hike. However, we wished the guide had given the information he gave at the top to everyone before the walk so that those who couldn’t finish the hike (or chose not to)could hear it, too. Also, we thought 2 hours on Thirassia was an hour too long. No one from our group hiked to the village and there was little to do there after lunch. We were not impressed with our guide Ulysses, but crew was great. We thought it interesting no one went over safety rules or showed us where life jackets were (did they have them?). All in all, we would not recommend—we are in our 70s and did not swim— maybe it’s a better activity for the younger set.

Amazing experience!

This is a great tour especially during the off tourist season because it wasn’t too crowded! Our guide was knowledgeable and made the caldera hike extra interesting with the facts and history!! The water to get to the hot springs was COLD in April so beware - but even if you don’t jump in this trip is well worth it!!!

Our boat captain and guide, Dada, and his crew were great! Friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of the islands and the volcano. The thermal waters weren’t so thermal but we’re so glad we jumped in and swam to them. Great experience. We are a wonderful lunch at Captain John’s at the last stop and didn’t make the walk to the top. Not enough time to do both but we were fine enjoying lunch and not rushing about. The only negative thing was our transportation back to Oia. We paid for the transportation included, for convenience, which was great on the way there. Took about 45 minutes which was fine. But the way back took almost an hour and a half. Literally had a “tour” of the island while dropping off other guests. Missed the Oia sunset because we got back so late. Should have just taken a cab from Fira. Otherwise, excellent trip!

Great tour with amazing views

Great cost-benefit trip. Bring water and cash for volcano entrance and lunch at Thirassia. Walking shoes and sun hat for the volcano are also a good idea, it’s also windy on the top. You have to swim well to get to the hot springs, but they’ll provide foam floaters. If you’d like to swim, bring a towel so you don’t make the rest of the trip wet. In thirassia the best view is up the stairs, but it’s a long way in not so much time, the Panorama restaurant is really worth it and the view up there is amazing.
Amazing!

Amazing tour, very good value for money, very knowledgeable tour guide on the volcano, allowed to roam freely with handout information, lovely warm waters to swim in at the hot springs and a great exfoliation! Then amazing location for lunch! Definitely do!

Great excursion!
Chelsea_J

Great tour! We left the old port at 10:30 am on a beautiful wooden boat. I recommend just walking to the old port. Make sure to arrive 30 minutes early to complete paperwork. Then, we went straight to the volcano hike (very mild hike, slight incline with loose rocks making footing unstable). After the volcano, we went to the hot springs and swam. The springs are not exactly hot, but are definitely sulphuric! We then went to a lovely little island and had lunch. It’s probably the most inexpensive food I’ve had during Santorini, and the Greek food was excellent. We docked by 4:30 pm, and I took the cable car back up to Fira. Overall, fulfilling day, and I learned a lot. I appreciated the guide that Yoni provided.

Good day's tour

Although I was with 70 or more others the boat did not feel too crowded. The guide was v knowledgeable about the history of eruptions etc. The hot springs were luke warm at best but a fun diversion. The climb to Thirassia town was pretty exhausting and just about worth the effort for the views. We got a bonus bypass of Oia to round things off. The only downside was the port restaurant charging 1euro for small bottle of water, then finding it was half as much on the boat!
The cheapest tour, but go for it.

This is a tour day for those in good physical shape who like a little fun. The walk up to the volcano is pretty steep on lava rock. I didn't try the hot springs, but floating in the water was very refreshing. We ate lunch at Captain Johns which provided good food at a fair price. Our guide and his assistant were very friendly and helpful.
Only good thing was the price

The whole ticket experience was a disaster. The machines had gone down and the ticket operator was very rude to all the people checking in. The tour itself was ok but also felt a little like herding cattle. You would be better doing a semi private tour
Response from Host , Sep 2021
Dear traveller,
we totally understand your frustration regarding the delay that you experienced in the entrance on the volcano, but please note that this service has nothing to do with our excursion. We are aware that there are times that their systems do not work properly but we also understand that the systems has been placed in order to provide to the customers an alternative payment method.
Highlight of our trip!

One of the highlights of our Santorini trip! We walked to and from the port (from Imerovigli into Fira then down the steep hill) so we wouldn't have to be picked up super early or deal with chaotic drop off. Very well timed stops and ability to do some things independently. We spent 5x this on a sunset caldera cruise and enjoyed this trip so much more! It was a great unexpected surprise of our trip.
