Activity description

Take in the Caldera of Santorini on a leisurely catamaran cruise down the coast! Starting from Oia, you stop at the Hot Springs and the White and Red Beach, passing by some of Santorini's iconic viewpoints along the way. To top it all off, a barbeque and appetizers will be served on board for you all to taste some local flavours as your cruise along the Aegean! 

Start your sailing adventure from the traditional port of Ammoudi Bay in Oia. Once everyone is aboard, your captain will steer you down the West coast of the island and show you some of its hidden treasures along the way.

Your first stop is at the Volcano and Hot Springs and will last approximately 30 minutes. Enjoy the healing properties of the hot springs as you bathe here.

As you continue down the coast you will pass by the Indian Rock and the Venetian Lighthouse. This picturesque spot is a great place to take your souvenir pictures - it's no wonder it crops up on so many postcards! Your next stop will then be the White Beach. Marvel at the glowing white colour of the cliffs and sands as you swim around and explore the beaches. Don't hesitate to grab some snorkel gear from the staff on the boat to go and explore the marine life too! During this one-hour stop, the staff on the boat will also set up the appetizers and the barbecue for you to quench your hunger in front of the bright clifftops. 

Your final stop will be Red Beach. A stark contrast from the radiant white of earlier, you will delight here in the glorious red cliffs and beaches. Make the most of a final splash in the water here; once everyone is back on the boat, you will then head straight back to Ammoudi Bay in the North. 

This tour picks you up directly at your hotel or accommodation and will drop you off back at home at the end. The food served can be adjusted to dietary requirements if given sufficient notice. Embark on your Greek Summer cruise down the Caldera of Santorini and secure your spot today!

It was a perfect day! The views were spectacular, there were plenty of opportunities to swim and there was lots of space to sunbathe on the boat. The crew were so nice and helpful. The food was good and the drinks were bottomless. We had an incredible time.

Lovely experience we enjoyed it so much, the water is crystal clear and even though I was scared to go in the water other people on the boat who were good swimmers helped me we had about 8 people on the boat and they usually have about 16 so it was a nice intimate experience. The views are amazing, got to see little fishes swimming, I’m not a big fan of the snorkel tube so just had the goggles on. And the food was so delicious, they’re very accommodating my partner is vegan but doesn’t eat bread and pasta and the crew made his meal perfect for him. When they were explaining the different areas we were in it was a little difficult to hear if you were at the front of the boat because it was very windy that day, but still very hot. They also picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back with amazing views, we were so tired on the way back we fell asleep.

The pick up and drop-off was smooth. We had to wait a while at the port which was busy with lots of boats loading. Would definitely recommend doing a smaller group sail. There were around 10 of us and it felt comfortable. The staff were very friendly, BBQ was delicious and plenty - most of us had 2nds! Stops were timed to the right length. My favourite part of our holiday and would definitely recommend it.

Three stops on the sea, bbq on board was good though not abundant and we returned to the port 30 mins before the schedule, so we only did 4.5h and not 5 (not fair at all!)
