- Santorini Volcano - The tour begins at 09:20 from the office with a bus ride to the port of Athinios. From there, participants board a boat heading to the Volcano, a journey of approximately 15-20 minutes. The stay at the volcano lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
The walk to the volcano’s active craters takes around 20 minutes along a walkable path. Reaching the top is rewarding, as scratching the surface reveals steam, the scent of sulfur, and offers great photo opportunities.
- Palea Kameni - Following the visit to Nea Kameni, the boat proceeds to the island of Palaia Kameni, home to the Hot Springs. The boat anchors a few meters from the small bay of Agios Nikolaos, lowering a ladder into the water. From there, participants can swim approximately 20 meters to the renowned mud baths of Palaia Kameni, known for their skin and health benefits. The water temperature ranges from 30-35 degrees, constantly mixing with seawater. The boat stays here for about 30 minutes for swimming, as there is no beach on the small island for extended stays.
- Thirassia - Continuing the tour, the boat sails to the island of Thirassia. Guests have 2 hours of free time to swim in the clear waters of Korfos or dine in traditional taverns offering various island dishes. Visitors can walk or ride donkeys to the village of Manolas, a charming place with narrow streets and a beautiful view of Santorini, well worth a visit. After a delightful 2-hour break on Thirassia, the return journey begins, sailing near the volcanic cliffs of Oia for photos of the stunning landscape.
- Oia - Upon arrival at the port of Athinios, a bus will be ready to take guests to the village of Oia, where they can enjoy free time exploring the narrow streets, capturing the breathtaking scenery, and witnessing the famous sunset. After the sunset, the bus will be waiting to return guests to the starting point, concluding the tour.

Do this tour! - I really enjoyed this tour! Climb the volcano on Nea Kemini, swim to the hot springs on Palea Kemini (if you're a strong swimmer - 2 people from our group had to be rescued - but it is fun enough just staying on the boat and taking photos of the volcanic rocks, pigs and goats, and the other boats), pick a place for lunch in the port at Thirasia, and climb the steps to the top if you want to (beautiful views). On the way back the boat stops for a bit to give you a chance to look through the glass bottom (not much to see but rocks and a very few tiny fish on my trip but the color of the water is beautiful), and then sail past Oia to view it from the sea. The tour guide goes up the volcano with the group and provides lots of info as well as giving some info about each of the other stops while on the boat (in English, French and Italian). Other than that, you have free time to explore on your own. A very fun day.

Sunny days - The boat trip included everything you would want to see. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The volcano walk was long and hot - I wouldn’t really bother doing this again, but I’m also lazy! The thermal springs was a good opportunity to cool down, and Therassia was a pretty stop off. I really enjoyed the day and thought it good value.

Full packed bus - The saling and trip was very Nice. But the transfer with bus was awful. I hat to sit with my teen year old on my lap. Because of over booked bus. And no places to sit.

Average trip, not worthy - 10 min on boat until you get to volcano
Volcano entry :5e per person which is extremely expensive. Nothing interesting to see there
Another 15 minutes on boat
Hot springs was nice, but we stayed just 15 min there.
Another 15 minutes on boat
Thirasia : just expensive restaurant and no enough time to go to the village.
20 minutes to be back to the port
We didn't find the trip to be interesting and it's not worthy. Better to spend time elsewhere.
The boat trip and volcano entry are just cash grabs.
