Water and snorkelling gear are included; volcano entry costs extra in cash and the hike is unguided. 4.81 from 37 reviews at €300 per person for 3h. In our comparison: #46 of 64 in Catamaran & Sailing Cruises, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview "The best value-for-money excursion cruise in Santorini" Set sail from Ammoudi Port cruising along the coastline and visit the two most iconic sights of the island. Get to hike the volcano and swim at its Hot Springs, where you can treat yourself with a natural spa in thermal mixed with volcanic mud waters. One of the best-kept secrets of Santorini is the islet of Agios Nikolaos, next to Ammoudi port. One can reach this only by a short and quite tricky hike or by boat. You will enjoy a short swim and maybe take the opportunity and take a memorable dive from the cliff. The Motor Boat is 10m in length, spacious cruising hull boat with one 400 HP engine. It is constructed and designed to provide comfort, with its exterior shaded area and its interior seating space with a table and WC. ## Before you book - Entry ticket not included: buy it separately - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - 12 start times: between 09:30 and 17:30 - Food not included: Food & Drinks are not included, you may… **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €300 per person for the Sunset 3 Hours Cruise option; other options up to €400 - Duration: 3h - Rating: 4.81/5 from 37 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Spiridakos Sailing Cruises - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: Greek, English - Tickets: Admission not included, pay on site - Start times: 12 start times between 09:30 and 17:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-11-08 ## Reviews 4.81 from 37 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 95% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 35 of 37. - 5 stars: 35 (95%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 1 (3%) - 1 star: 1 (3%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Sunset 3 Hours Cruise | €300 / person (for 2+ people) | Greek, English | Private Cruise Duration: 3 hours Bottled Water Volcano - Springs - St. Nikola: Start from Ammoudi port, hike the Volcano(opt), swim at the hot springs, dive at Agios Nikolaos Islet, and watch the sunset.
