Description

Enjoy your trip to Greece with this Santorini Caldera boat tour! Get a chance to witness Santorini's natural wonders with its magnificent volcano island. Rejuvenate in the natural hot springs and discover the charming island of Thirasia.

You will start this Santorini Caldera boat tour with an exciting trip to the Nea Kameni volcano region. You can trek to the summit for a minimal entrance fee and learn about its fiery past. The next stop will be at Palea Kameni, well-known for its therapeutic hot springs. Just a short swim from your boat, soak yourself in the sulfur-rich waters known for their health benefits.

Then, continue to the serene Thirassia, a haven of traditional Santorinian life. You can walk through its quaint streets, try local cuisine, or hike to the island's main village of Manolas. From the top are breathtaking views of Santorini, adding a spectacular touch to your Santorini day trip.

You can go directly to the meeting point or arrange a pickup; just kindly indicate it upon booking. Traveler pickup is also optional for an additional convenience fee. We can arrange the nearest pickup point accordingly. Just let us know your hotel details.

There are two ways to reach the departure location. One is by cable car, which costs 6 EUR per trip and runs every 20 minutes. The other is by walking down 600 steps, which usually takes 30 minutes. Foam pool noodles are also provided for a comfortable and enjoyable swimming experience.

Take the opportunity to experience Santorini's unique, captivating landscape! Choose your travel dates and reserve a slot for this day tour before it gets fully booked!

Set sail on a captivating boat tour through the Santorini caldera, exploring volcanic wonders and hidden gems in Greece. Your adventure begins from either Athinios Port with convenient pickup or the Old Port of Fira, offering flexibility for your journey.

The first highlight is a guided hike on Santorini’s famous volcano, where you’ll trek along rugged paths and discover the dramatic landscape shaped by ancient eruptions. Your escort shares fascinating insights as you climb to panoramic viewpoints, with a modest entrance fee required for access.

Next, the boat anchors near Palea Kameni, inviting strong swimmers to reach the warm, mineral-rich hot springs for a rejuvenating dip. Foam pool noodles are provided for extra comfort, and the unique sulfur waters promise a memorable, invigorating experience surrounded by volcanic scenery.

The final stop is the tranquil island of Thirassia, where you can wander through traditional villages, relax by the sea, or enjoy local cuisine at a charming taverna. If visiting before May 25th, the cruise offers a scenic swim near Thirassia’s bay instead, due to temporary port maintenance.

Throughout this six-hour tour, you’ll be guided by a knowledgeable escort and can enjoy refreshments from the onboard minibar. Don’t miss your chance to experience Santorini’s natural beauty and vibrant culture—secure your spot now before spaces fill up!
