Sail from Ammoudi Port along Santorini’s volcanic coast on a catamaran limited to 20 people. Swim at the Hot Springs, White Beach, and Red Beach, then enjoy a Greek BBQ with beer, wine, soft drinks, towels, snorkeling gear, and hotel pickup included.

“If you are debating on which boat cruise to do like I was, book with this company! What a wonderful experience with pickup and drop off close to the hotel, great food, and great service. What I will say we did come in March and yes it was cold but still wonderful and worth doing. My wife and I got so lucky and we were the only ones who booked the specific time we did, so I have to give a big shout out to the company for keeping our reservation and not canceling on us as it probably cost them more to operate to only take us two.”
