    • Bottled water
    • Helmets and saddle bags

    What you'll see and do

    1. Ride a horse on a beautiful beach in the untouched nature in the south of the island! Starting at the stables in Megalochori, ride along the paths of the vineyards and see their traditional layout, and along the south trails that lead to the secluded Eros Beach. These paths were created by the great eruption, which formed the island. As you ride you will see small gorges and ravines carved into the volcanic rock and can marvel at the unique Santorini landscape. At the end of the route you reach Eros beach, a long black beach with impressive rock formation cliffs as a backdrop. Ride along the beach and then head to the top of the hill to enjoy the panoramic view of the beach and the trails. During the ride commemorative photos will be taken of you and your horse, capturing your memorable experiences at all the best places.

    This experience was...

    This experience was really fun! We were there in the morning for the 9:00 tour and the weather was really great, not too hot, not too cold, and enough wind to feel good while riding. You can ride with any level, from very beginner to advanced! The guides are really helpful and the scenery is breathtaking.

    Great experience.

    This was an excellent experience which allows you to see the beautiful beaches on the south of the island. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. I was a bit nervous about riding as I hadn’t ridden in a long time and the staff made sure I was comfortable. The horses were very calm and well behaved.

    Save your money

    It's not worth it. My partner and I just did the sunset ride on black beach and the views nice the guides are nice but it was a glorified pony ride. If you have never ever riden a horse its probably good for you and young kids. if you have some riding experience skip this one im sure you could find something better on the island not being stuck on the rope with the guide the whole time for nearly $400. We've had much better riding experiences for a lot less money.

    Hungry horses

    The ride was beautiful, but the horses were skinny with their ribs and spine visible through the skin.

    Santorini Premium Ride: Volcano Trails to Eros Beach: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.

    How much does Santorini Premium Ride: Volcano Trails to Eros Beach cost?

    +

    Prices start at $97 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 Santorini Premium Ride: Volcano Trails to Eros Beach take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Santorini Premium Ride: Volcano Trails to Eros Beach worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 126 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 Santorini Premium Ride: Volcano Trails to Eros Beach?

    +

    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 Santorini Premium Ride: Volcano Trails to Eros Beach suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Santorini Premium Ride: Volcano Trails to Eros Beach?

    +

    Around 44 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Santorini Premium Ride: Volcano Trails to Eros Beach 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?

    +

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.
