Wish to explore the legendary Volcano of Santorini and its surrounding thermal waters? Secure your spots on this unique boat tour!
Opt for a short and budget-friendly way to experience sites of exceptional beauty and distinctive history! Get the chance to explore the impressive Santorini Volcano and dive into the famous Hot Springs on this boat adventure lasting for just 3 hours !
Choose from the two options this tour offers: either the one departing at 11:00 and returning at 14:00, or another during the high season that departs at 14:30 and returns at 17:30. Both tours start from the picturesque Old Port of Santorini, a small port gradually emerging beneath the towering rocks below Fira Town. The port can be reached either by taking the cable car, which offers a quick and easy 3-minute ride, or by descending the steps. For the morning tour , there is also an option that includes a transfer service , departing from Athinios Port and following the same itinerary.
As the adventure begins, you will head for the first destination, the famous Volcano and its small bay of Erinia , which you will reach after a 10-minute sail. The boat will dock and stay there for 1 hour and 15 minutes, giving you the opportunity to hike a short path to the top with the presence of a guide, see the steaming craters, take stunning photos, and experience the distinctive sulfuric smell. As you explore the volcanic landscape, your guide will provide insightful details about the volcano's fascinating history and geology. A truly remarkable experience!
Following your time on the volcanic island, you will embark again for your next stop at Palaia Kameni , home to the famous Hot Springs located on the west side of the island, formed by volcanic eruptions. There, the boat will stop close to Agios Nikolaos Bay , at a distance of about 30 meters from the springs. It will remain there for 30 minutes, allowing you to dive into the warm, sulfur-rich waters, known for their therapeutic benefits. After this extraordinary swimming experience, the boat will return to the Old port.
Important Note : To reach the Hot Springs, you need to swim approximately 30 meters to the interior of the small bay of Agios Nikolaos. Therefore, strong swimming skills are essential.
Regardless of the option you choose, the itinerary followed is the same, including a visit to the most famous landmark of the island! However, opting for the option with the transfer will allow you to get conveniently picked up from a location close to your hotel. Pre-defined meeting points are available in all villages, so you will be assigned the closest location to your hotel for an effortless start to your adventure.

We booked this while on a Marella Cruise, it was a lot cheaper than the ones sold on the ship. The ship docked in the old port but ran a tender service that prioritised people on there excursions. So if your booking off a cruise make sure your early for a tender. The boat trip was great, knowledge crew guided us up the volcano (we didn't make it to the top) and the swim to the hot springs was really nice. Highly enjoyable trip. Well recommend.
Sorry, but this one are not hot springs - maybe a little bit warm springs, not hot. Organization - 0
