- Georgina N.24 Sep 2025 5.0The highlight of our trip!
We had a fantastic experience on this boat tour, getting to visit the volcano, two different swimming spots including the hot springs, and watching the sunset from the water! The dinner provided was really tasty, the staff were great fun and even extended our trip by a couple of hours so we could stay on the water to watch the Ifestia fireworks display which was incredible! Highly highly recommend!
