What you'll see and do
Santorini
It departs from the Old port of Fira at 15:30 with a wooden sailling boat. After a short trip of 10min it reaches the small port of Nea Kameni , where the active volcano is. There you have 1h and 15m, enough time to visit the active crater of the volcano, where there is still smoke coming out and keenly smells sulfur. The boat will depart afterwards for the island of Palaia Kameni, where the hot springs are located. In the small bay of Agios Nikolaos the water temperature is 30-35 degrees Celcious. The boat remains there for 30m, enough time since there is no beach , but you have to climb down a ladder of the boat into the sea and swim a distance of about 30 meters to the interior of the small bay, where the mud baths are located. After swimming the boat will start sailing around the caldera enjoying the landscape: the houses that literally hang on the edge of the cliff, in combination with the beautiful colours of the sunset!

Traveler reviews

Boring journey
The journey was a bit boring except the tour guide was good. The journey up to the volcano took about an hour. Some of my family members did not like to go there. We originally thought they can stay at the boat but they stayed outside doing nothing while waiting for us to come back. Then we went to a beach where we were supposed to enjoy a bit swimming but the beach was so rocky. We couldn’t even walk close to the water. There was disco on the beach which we found very noisy. It was for the young guys who wanted to hangout but not for our family with elder people and small child. We didn’t enjoy the journey except for the tour guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We hope next time book a cruise which you will enjoy more! Have a good time for the rest of your Holidays!

Volcano, hot springs, sunset tour
This tour was well worth the value. The guide provided interesting information of the volcano with spectacular views. The highlight was the sunset and the guide even serenaded us with his guitar. The captain was so friendly, making sure the guests were pleased. Highly recommend this tour.

Santorini Volcano & Hot Springs and Sunset on Board: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Volcano & Hot Springs and Sunset on Board cost?
+
Prices start at $57 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 Volcano & Hot Springs and Sunset on Board take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Volcano & Hot Springs and Sunset on Board worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 2 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 Volcano & Hot Springs and Sunset on Board?
+
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 Volcano & Hot Springs and Sunset on Board suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Santorini Volcano & Hot Springs and Sunset on Board?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santorini Volcano & Hot Springs and Sunset on Board 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.
What is included in Santorini Volcano & Hot Springs and Sunset on Board?
+
Included: All that is mentioned in description. Not included: Tips and Individual Expenses; Meals; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Santorini Volcano & Hot Springs and Sunset on Board?
+
The cruise starts at the old port of fira at 15.30pm. Please be at the port at least 30 minutes before departure. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Santorini Volcano & Hot Springs and Sunset on Board offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Santorini Volcano & Hot Springs and Sunset on Board?
+
