This tour was the perfect activity to wrap up our trip to Greece. Toto, the tour guide was phenomenal on the way up to the volcano, during dinner, and dancing on the boat. The views from the boat were breathtaking, the food was excellent, the swimming was very refreshing. Everyone on the hast was very courteous and welcoming. Lifting the sails on the boat to see the sunset made it even more memorable. I highly recommend this tour. Truly out of this world!

We booked this trip and requested pick-up at a designated location close to our hotel. We were texted a time of pick-up and given the number plate of the vehicle. They arrived bang on time. The only negative to this trip was that we were dropped off at a busy port and just left without telling us which gate to go to and we had to ask one of the staff. We were pleased to find out that we were on board a proper sailing boat (proper Mamma Mia style). The boat headed out to the volcano where our guide took us up on a hike to the top of the active volcano from which you could see plumes of sulphur in the main crater. We then boarded the boat again and headed for the hot springs where we were given pool noodles and were able to swim in the warm waters. The water appears yellow from the sulphur and we had to be hosed down once we got back on board the boat (our swimsuits were still dirty when rinsed out later). We then headed for Thirassia where we anchored and were able to swim in the clear waters before having dinner. Dinner consisted of Greek salad, meatballs and spaghetti, chicken and rice, red/white wine, water, pastry dessert which, although I wouldn’t consider it a great meal, it wasn’t a bad meal considering it was served on board a boat with minimal cooking facilities. Once dinner was eaten, we set sail again for Oia in hope of a sunset. However our guide then said we were headed to a “special spot” for the sunset with the full sails up. I have to say that, although I was looking forward to a sunset at Oia, I think he made right decision. The sunset was amazing and we watched it go down to appropriate music. Once the sun was gone we headed back to the port for drop off but on the way we had music and dancing and our guide was teaching us Greek dancing. Transfer to our drop off points was organised and we had no issues. All in all it was a very memorable experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
My group of nine all loved this excursion! There was a bit of confusion in the beginning in terms of what time to be at the dock, however the host was very accommodating with us and ensured we didn’t miss out. We had a wonderful day on the water, the food was good, Tito was the best tour guide with lots of knowledge and ability to speak multiple languages. The food was good. I would definitely recommend this excursion! Extra points to the Tito and the female bartender on the ship August 8, 2026. Also worth mentioning that if you did self transfer, they wait with you to ensure you are picked up at the end which I was impressed by the extra safety precaution being that we are in a foreign country.
Thank you!
We had a wonderful experience on the sunset boat tour and volcano visit. My husband and I really enjoyed the whole trip from start to finish.
We were picked up from Oia in a comfortable minibus, and after collecting the other guests, we headed to the boat. The boat itself was beautiful, very well maintained and in excellent condition, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy the journey.
The food was good, the drinks were reasonably priced, and the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive throughout the trip. Everything was well organised, and we felt very comfortable the whole time.
The sunset was absolutely beautiful and made the experience even more special. We genuinely loved the tour and would definitely recommend it. A fantastic experience and one of the highlights of our Santorini trip! ❤️
Food was great. Crew was great. Locations were great. Ship was great. All good. Best day on our trip.
A fantastic afternoon and evening. Great value for the money compared to others. The staff was great and the meal was delicious. This is a must-do in Santorini
This is a fantastic tour, and a highlight of our vacation in Greece. Great value dinner was nice. The ocean swims were great and the hike up the volcano was educational and rigorous.!
Time changed without any notification luckily we were there early enough to make the boat. Make sure you get there 45 min before departure
Incredible experience! We loved every aspect of this tour - the boat was beautiful, the staff was friendly, the activities were amazing, and the food was delicious! Our guide, Tito, was incredible and made the day so much fun. Can't recommend this enough!
Had a great experience with my girlfriend and would highly recommend. My only recommendation would be cautioned that the sulfur during the first swim will stain and ruin your cloths and the music was uncomfortably loud on the return but was only for a brief time. Other than that the whole experience was amazing and we absolutely enjoyed the experience from pickup to drop off and would highly recommend it to any one traveling to Santorini.
This Catamaran was very welcoming, fun and amazing. The opportunity to go to the highest point of the volcano, swimming on the hot springs, dancing in the boat and ending with a tasteful dinner on boat was wonderful. The staff were fantastic, specially Evelyn and Tito. We didn’t want the day to finish. Highly recommend this experience. We will do it again!
Wonderful Had a great time! Staff was great very helpful. Guide translated for us in spanish, very kind of him to do. Definitely recommend
This was such an amazing experience! We would definitely do it again! The sunset was beautiful and we really enjoyed the dancing at the end of the night.
Good points and not so good. We booked a pick up from Fira - big mistake. A bus took us to the new port where we waited to pick up the Aphrodite boat. The boat then sailed to the old port. So over an hour later we arrived 200 metres from where we started ! No one told us, to just take the cable car. The Aphrodite was excellent, well appointed and the crew were great.. Very nice out on the water around the Caldera. Buffet and wine also good. At one point the sails went up - quite exciting! The volcano hike was disappointing - I've seen more smoke from my chimney at home! A long hike with not much to see. The hot springs were interesting but the water was extremely murky. The second swimming spot had great water but there were some dodgy currents so not relaxing. Unfortunately the sunset didn't turn up - too cloudy. Also we didn't particularly like the very loud music on the return stretch.
It is so much fun. Our guide Tito was amazing. He engage with everyone and made it an unforgettable experience.
Photo not exactly as depicted. No white tablecloths and wine glasses. It was a buffet with plastic cups. Two swimming stops but really only needed one swim stop. Hole was not for the average traveller.
Pick up was on time, the boat is very nice and comfortable. The 3 stops, Volcano hike, geological therma swim wasfun and the second swim was nice. Dinner was great and plentiful, wi e flowed freely. The Sunset was spectacular!! The crew were so nice and fun. Wear shoes that have good traction and bring a warm cover up for the evening air.
The entire team was amazing! We had such a great day- the hike, some history, hot springs swim and dinner. There are multiple levels, some fully inside with large windows to continue to view the sunset but stay warm. The entire boat is GORGEOUS and well maintained. They provided blankets. Dinner was so delicious!
The experience was good. But would have been better if we had been able to understand our tour guide. His English was so accented that we only understood a fraction of what he was saying.
This is a must do! The crew was fantastic. Our guide Tito was amazing. A better time than expected was had by all!
overall a good day. the sights were good the lack of friendly people in the front office doesn’t help. The food is just ok. Tito the guide did a great Job!
Adventurous climb to the Volcano, comfortable sailing, entertaining crew, sumptuous food with free flowing wine and magnificent sunset, and of course the on board dancing….. can’t ask for more!
What an amazing experience, Tito and the crew go above and beyond to make the day one to remember, guided tour of the volcano, swimming in warm mineral water and then the bluest water I have ever seen, buffet tea was delicious complemented by local wine and beer. The evenings highlight was the sunset for sure. As we sailed back to port the Boat turned into a mini disco with Tito again doing a great job of entertaining us,
Fully recommend the tour, many thanks

We had an amazing time! Staff and crew were very nice and knowledgeable. One of the staff members got us all to join him in dancing at the end. We really enjoyed our day.
Really good cruise, with kind crew and guide, duration was suitable and sunset on the sea amazing. I recommand.
I went solo and made friends so fast there. The crew members are so friendly and amazing. The vibe in the boat is great and fantastic. I recommend it as a solo traveler and based on the couples I met there. The food is a buffet and it includes different types of foods (all Greek) and it’s delicious.
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.
Tito and the whole crew were friendly and knowledgeable. The sights are beautiful the boat is well maintained and the food for dinner was plentiful and delicious!
The actual excursion was great but the picking up at the meeting place was not. On my documents there was no specific time that we had to be at the Greco hotel other than 2pm which is when the sailboat was to depart. I received a call and text messages saying that the driver was waiting and he would leave if we didn’t get there, I informed the person on the call that we weren’t given a specific time to meet at the hotel to get picked up. Luckily we we’re 2 hotels away and were able to walk very fast there.
It was very frustrating and I felt terrible that the other passengers had to wait for us.
My suggestion is that you put the meeting time on the documents so that we know what time we have to be at the meeting place.
Buyer beware! They list the wrong time of pickup from hotel and will not give refunds. We did not have WiFi so we received no correspondence from them. Miserable experience.
This tour was the perfect activity to wrap up our trip to Greece. Toto, the tour guide was phenomenal on the way up to the volcano, during dinner, and dancing on the boat. The views from the boat were breathtaking, the food was excellent, the swimming was very refreshing. Everyone on the hast was very courteous and welcoming.
