Top Santorini Outdoor Activities

My husband and I took this tour on our first day in Santorini. We did the full day trip to include Akrotiri and wine tasting. It exceeded our expectations. We had an absolutely amazing time with our guide Nico and driver Will. Both were incredibly knowledgeable and had wonderfully humorous and engaging personalities. The group was relatively small (11 people) which offered the opportunity to get to know one another. Nico took great care to ensure the safety and wellbeing of each person. Highly recommend this tour as the perfect introduction to the island.

This was a great value for the money and provided some breath taking views of the island and a good mix of activities. Konstantinos was so genuine and friendly and made it such a fun tour. A terrific guide and very knowledgeable and engaging. The hike up the volcano was a good workout and offered some incredible 360 degree views. The final leg to see the sunset just off the coast of Oia was capped off with him playing his guitar and singing a few songs.

Me and partner booked this experience thinking it would be nice beach walk riding the horses as it sold to you. This is the not the experience we/ group got. The horses were anxious and not well trained some of which kept biting and kicking each other. The route taken was all single track and narrow between the sand and rocks with a drop off which wasn’t enjoyable. Another rider in group horse took off and left the group luckily she didn’t fall off. This also shock up all the other horses which almost had other riders off their horses. She also didn’t have a correct helmet as they didn’t have adequate head gear to protect her she could have seriously injured herself as her hat came off when the horse took off. There was also no real safety briefing or quick practice with the horses. There was many occasions where people asked for help and they was ignored. The guide didn’t seem to have control of any of the horses. It got the point where 3 out of 6 people had to get off as there horses kept trying to run off and almost had them off many times. Everyone in the group had times where there horses kept trying to get them off. I highly recommend you go with another tour guide and do your thorough research on the others. Some of the horses also didn’t have horse shoes and proper equipment. I have come through a horse background and done riding this was not acceptable to let people book. After the ride we then spoke to the manger on the phone which after hearing about our experience then gave people refunds.
