Review of Santorini’s volcano and hot springs cruise, with hike details, swimming tips, costs, timing, and advice on who should book.
“We really enjoyed this experience, even with staying on the boat during the hot springs visit since we can't swim. It was a great chance to take pictures with nice scenery. The visit to the volcano was an unforgettable experience, very cool to see the steam and feel the hot ground. Be prepared to walk on rocks, wear comfortable shoes! As someone who is scared of water/boats, the trip there and back was easy. I recommend this activity, it was our favourite for our whole vacation.”
Review of Santorini’s six-hour volcano cruise, hot springs, and Thirassia visit, with tips on walking, pickup points, costs, and value.
“My family and I were unable to participate because the bus departed before the initially scheduled pickup time. We missed the opportunity to participate in the excursion due to the lack of transparency regarding the pickup time. We were under the impression that the pickup time was at 9:30, as advertised, but it turned out to be at 8:55, causing us to miss the initial bus pickup. Be advised they will not refund you.”
