Excellent day in the caldaira with a top crew! - Excellent day in the caldaira with a top crew! From the morning when the team picks you up directly from your hotel in the evening or we obviously take you back! The whole day was rocked by kindness and Mediterranean waves! 3 swimming stops including 1 long after eating where you can snorkel, equipment of good quality loaned The catamaran is really well held with even small corners! Simple but rather good and nutritious lunch. Drinks has discretion throughout the trip. No need for a bath towel they lend you too! Perfect day, just think of sunscreen galore!

Beautiful trip with awesome crew on the board 😀 👌 - Everything on this catamaran cruise was perfect from the beginning to the finish, pick up from hotel straight to the marine port few moments later we was on the catamaran ready for a trip. The crew from catamaran was absolutely amazing so kind and helpful. They prepared food for everyone and drinks as well. Sunset view from catamaran stolen our hearts 💕 Highly recommended for everyone who want to see Santorini from the sea!

Sunset view is so worth ! - Amazing sunset view. Had a great afternoon/evening. Were picked up from our hotel and brought back there. Everything went well although the return was a bit more windy and bumpy. The sunset is worth to see. Crew is friendly (Calderra Catamaran). We were almost the only one to go in the water but it was well worth. Food was good.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Santorini Cruise – A Must-Do Experience! - Our Santorini cruise was the absolute highlight of our trip to Greece! From the moment we boarded the catamaran, we were treated to warm hospitality, breathtaking views, and an unforgettable journey across the Aegean Sea. The boat was spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable, with plenty of seating, shaded areas, and space to relax. The crew was professional, attentive, and full of personality—they made everyone feel welcome and safe throughout the journey. The itinerary was perfectly planned: we cruised past the stunning caldera cliffs, stopped for a swim in the crystal-clear waters near the Red Beach and White Beach, and even bathed in the natural hot springs by the volcano. Snorkeling gear and towels were provided, and the water was refreshing and beautiful. One of the best parts was the delicious onboard meal—freshly grilled meats, seafood, Greek salads, and local wine, all prepared by the crew. Eating while watching the sun dip into the sea behind Oia was simply magical. The sunset views from the boat were some of the most breathtaking we’ve ever seen. This cruise was the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and natural beauty. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want a unique way to explore Santorini, this experience is absolutely worth it. We would book it again in a heartbeat!

Excellent - The crew were super Amazing, professional, making sure everyone is comfortable, giving us drinks non-stop, played lovely music, the meal is very delicious, I love the grilled barbecue chicken breast and king size fresh prawns. The cruise is what it, everyone going to Santorini should do this, watching the sun set is extra ordinary. I will definitely use this guys again.

Quite boring & dull. Will not book this one again - Cruise was supposed to be fun, plus it was my son's birthday, which I me tioned when we boarded but it was quite boring to say the least. Captain had so many rules, no one allowed on the net, no one sits in the corner, no one brings glasses to their seats, no music whatsoever, no special drinks for the sunset, the list goes on. Captain spent his time cleaning the boat, the floor and the dishes rather than catering to the guests or making the experience fun. No one spoke, no music, very dull & boring cruise. Took many previous cruises where people were dancing, even other boats had actual fun yesterday but certainly not ours. My son's birthday was a complete non-event. Very disappointed especially at this price point. Felt we were summoned at the Principal's office...

Horrible, God forbid no one faces this situation for their hard earned money and spoiling the vaccation ! - We had booked the Classic catamaran Cruise with BBQ drinks and transfers for Santorini through Viator app on 5th June 25 by paying Rs 25000/- for 2 persons The Viator voucher & ticket stated that the pick up point would be Nicolas Hotel Santorini at 15:30 hours that is our place of stay. So we were rest assured that the pick up team will come and pick us up from our hotel and went ahead with our travel plans and we left New Delhi on 12th June and checked up at Santorini on 16th June at 14.52hrs . The local tour operator M/s Spyridakos pleasures, Yachi MCPY sent us a Whatsapp on 15 th stating that the pick up point is now Kerodos Fotogati & not Hotel Nicholas , as car could not reach the hotel. Further the pick up time has been rescheduled and it has been preponed to 1445 hours! They further stated that these details were emailed on 14th June, while we were travelling! On reaching Hotel Nicolas, we found that it has a car parking and cars were easily coming up to Nicolas. Further, the tour operator M/s Spyridakos called on 16th at 14.53 hrs stating that the driver has come, the rescheduled pick up point and will leave within two minutes. We had just entered our hotel by 14:52 hrs but looking at the gravity of the situation I rushed towards the pickup point at a place which was totally new to me, based on the location sent by the Lady having mobile number. +30 6978 482220 , when I asked for the mobile number of the Driver, for better coordination she did not divulge it. In short she was very rude & abrupt. I was rushing on the road with my trolley in the heat to catch the driver, the driver was not instructed to come on the main road to catch me. Instead, she informed that the driver has left with passengers for the catamaran cruise. When I took up the matter with Viator, they said that they will look into it, and they did not give a proper response. The tour operator as a solution offered the same catamaran ride next day, on 16th at the same time, but with an additional cost of €130 Now the local tour operator Spyridakos has been pursuing us to confirm regarding the tour for 16th. One can easily understand the intentions behind the entire episode. It has left us a very bad feeling about not only about the tour operator, but also the local authorities whom we approached and declined to offer any kind of support and also the Viator for miscommunication and not taking up with the tour operator Spyridkaos and siding with the customer. Our vaccation was spoiled with the greedy and unprofessional approach , will never recommend taking tours through Viator and through Spyridkaos in particular.
