The tour was brilliant - worth every penny! The Albatross boat was comfortable and the bar was cheap with good music in between stops. Our tour guide Spyros was so knowledgeable and multilingual and was able to provide great recommendations for restaurants. I would highly recommend this trip!

Perfect day, starts off at the volcano, then the hot spring, then a nice town. I booked the day before and everything worked out perfectly

Volcano is a disappointment as all you see is some white smoke coming from the ground and feel the heat. It is a decent upward climb which we were not told about in advance. Hot spring water was combined with regular sea to produce a cold water swim. Thirassia is a 130 foot climb to see a small village. The good part is it is a nice boat ride around the island. Depending on where you are staying you can be picked up 90 minutes before adding to your adventure.

Do it! The guide will show you the best places. It is something extraordinary! Walk the volcano, taste local wine, which is growing from this volcano and has its special flavor. It's amazing, thanks to the cruise organizers! P. S.: remember your swimsuit to swim the hot springs. And FYI: the water in the hot springs can color a little bit the swimsuit into orange)) And put comfy closed shoes on while walking the volcano, cause small stones are getting into the shoes and make the walking harder. But man, the place is worth all the efforts!

Great energising guide, nice activity to undertake on a not so hot day. I would though switch the village for lunch to another location that is a bit more lively

Overall it was a fun day. We decided for the 6 hour tour because we had enough time and wanted to see the island from the waterside. The volcano is nice but do not expect to see steam coming out of the ground. So it is not as dramatic as some might think. The entrance is now 5 Euro per person. The stop at the thermal water was fun. We jumped from the boat into the sea and then swam to the thermal water. Be aware of the rocks under the water when it gets shallow. The stop at Thirassia was disappointing. We walked up the stairs but the village is almost dead. You see rust and destruction in many places and it seems to be near its end. The way back on the boat passing Oia and Thira give you a nice view from the water.

The tour took (too) many hours, in our case from 12:30 - 21:30 h. The boot tour felt like a drinking party scene; many guests were completely drunk and the crew danced with the guests and played the music so loud that talking on the boat became impossible. - At the final stop swimming was no longer allowed (albeit originally planned): according to the captain the guests were already too drunk for allowing swimming. Therefore nobody was allowed to swim, including those who had not drunk. The boat had to be stopped repeatedly because of misbehaving guests (going over board). - For the majority of the trip the crew had animated the guests and partied with them. - Due to drinking, lots of beer was on the floor and a guest slipped and hurt his head.

The views from the top of the volcano were beautiful, but the hot springs swim was disappointing. The springs were lukewarm at best and after swimming in them, our swimsuits were covered with rust that stained. It also smelled of sulfur. If there is another sightseeing option, I would do that.

Great tour to go on if you want to see the other islands off Santorini. Transport picks you up near your hotel and takes you to the port. A short sail will take you to the volcano, where there is a bit of a trek to get up to the dormant crater. Then off to the hot springs, water was a little chilly during October. Lastly is a trip to Thirasia, where you can have lunch and explore the island. Before disembarking, the boat sails along the inside coastline from Oìa to the port.

I see that this tour begins at 10:00am. I also see the break down of how long at each spot. But what time does it actually end and return to the starting point?

Bonjour, je pars demain pour Santorin je serais intéressé par cette excursion et j'aurai voulu connaitre le niveau de difficulté pour la marche pour accéder au volcan.

La marche n'est pas très difficile. Le dénivelé n'est pas très élevé.
Avec nous, il y avait une dame de 85 ans, elle faisait beaucoup de pauses car il faisait chaud mais elle a fait tout le parcours.

bonjour, je pars du 18 octobre 2019 au 25 octobre. J'aurais aimé savoir s'il était possible de prendre directement un billet pour cette excursion sur place ? Y a t'il beaucoup de mondes sur place à cette période en général ? Les places sont elles comptées ? Merci

je reviens de Santorin; en octobre il n ' y a pas beaucoup de monde.
prendre le billet sur place est le mieux: avant regarder la force du vent sur internet; choisir le jour où le vent est faible pour éviter les vagues autant pour se baigner que pour les traversées en bateaux.
vous devez payer entre 35 et 40 € pas plus.
nous avons payé 37 €, avec prise en bus à 0845 h à notre hotel ( à Périssa ) voilier jusqu'à néa Kamanis, montée du volcan, baignade dans les eaux chaude, re bateau vers Thirissa, 2 h sur place, retour à Fira, bus jusqu'à OIA , 2 h 1/2 sur place, et transfert à l'hotel retour à 22 h.
la différence de prix entre les agences vient de la taille du bateau, et qulques différences infimes;
Hola cuánto tiempo dura la excursión?yo estoy en firostefani te buscan por el hotel?A que hora comienza y termina?

Does this pick up at the cruise port ? I understand its a tender but will we be dropped at an area lose to this trip or have to find a way across the island at start and finish? I got an email asking what hotel I was staying at. I replied cruise and have received nothing in return.

Hi, The pick up and drop off is at the old port (not the ferry port). It's right off the market, and you can take the cable car down. It depends on where you are stating if it will be close to you, we stayed in Firostefani and the port was a few mins walk from the hotel. I was slightly confused with your question, I hope this was helpful.
Hi. A few questions. I intend doing this trip on 25 June before getting on the 5:25pm ferry to Crete. Does your tour definitely return to Athinios port at 4pm? Also I'll be stuck with my large backpack. Can I take it on the boat and is there a safe dry place to stow it? I note Ancient Thira is included in the overall tour description. How? Its a mountain on land on the far side of Santorini itself? It's nowhere near the caldera. What's a contact in Fira that I can ring for an accurate description and pick up details for this tour. I see some commentators note they didn't get any pick up call/instructions.
