Mixed experience
Mixed experience. Initial pick up was 20 minutes late. Boat and volcano trip was good. Guide very knowledgeable and friendly staff. On arrival back to port there had been an issue with the buses which meant an hours wait just standing around. Then, we got on the bus and got half way up the cliff only for it to somehow turn round and go back to the bottom. This resulted in us having hardly any time in Oia, so much so we consciously skipped the return and got a public transport bus back to where we were staying.

Very nice excursion
We booked directly with the help of the owner of the property where we were staying. Impeccable organization. Pick-up very close to our hotel, collecting other participants at various points until the port where we boarded the boat. The guide was professional and friendly throughout the first part of the visit (navigation and excursion on the volcano for those interested). Excursion to the island of Nea Kammeni is optional and for a fee (€5 for adults, €2.5 for children), nice and not overly strenuous if you are fit. During the entire climb, the guide provided a lot of information (in English). Afterward, we left again by boat to take a swim in the hot springs; nothing exceptional, but it fit well into the day's schedule. At lunchtime, we were taken to the island of Thirasia for a lunch and swimming stop. Upon returning to the port, we boarded a bus heading to Oia. Tour with the option to follow another guide or explore on your own. Oia is very beautiful but unfortunately very crowded at sunset. Overall the tour went well, always to be evaluated among the various tours with large groups.

Really great day
We had a brilliant day and our hotel gave us loads of good pre-info such as the bus will probably be late but don’t worry (it was and others were worried so we were able to tell them it was ok), to wear strong shoes for the volcano and to have a hat and cover because the boat is quite open. After the late pick up, everything else was spot on time and perfect. The very long day went so quickly. The volcano is a reasonably difficult walk as it’s so hot. The swim was fun but not hot (I didn’t mind) and the place for lunch we found a nice restaurant and had a swim. At Oia we again found a nice restaurant to watch the sunset from. Got back on the coach at 9pm, home just before 10pm. Our guide was brilliant but I didn’t hear her name. It was on 24th July.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had a brilliant day and that, despite the delayed pick-up, everything else ran smoothly and according to schedule. We’re especially pleased that the practical advice about suitable footwear, sun protection, and the boat helped you prepare for the day. The volcano walk can certainly be challenging in the summer heat, so it’s great to hear that you enjoyed the experience and the swim as well. It sounds like you made the most of every stop, from lunch and swimming to finding lovely spots to enjoy the sunset in Oia. We’re also very happy to hear that your guide was brilliant and helped make such a long day feel like it went by quickly! Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Santorini in the future!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Santorini Volcano and Oia Sunset Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Full Day Santorini Volcano and Oia Sunset Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santorini usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Santorini Volcano and Oia Sunset Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santorini is not rushed.
Is Full Day Santorini Volcano and Oia Sunset Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santorini, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Santorini Volcano and Oia Sunset Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Santorini Volcano and Oia Sunset Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Santorini Volcano and Oia Sunset Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santorini can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santorini and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Santorini Volcano and Oia Sunset Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santorini within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santorini?
+
On Outty we rank every Santorini experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Premium Catamaran Cruise in Santorini including Oia, Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest!, Private Tailor-Made Santorini Land Tour with a Local Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santorini?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santorini?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
