This was such a blast.... - This was such a blast. Great food, lots of space on the boat for everyone, and the guides were so nice and helpful (s/o Aphrodite!) We loved getting picked up at the door of our Airbnb, and a highlight was definitely the snorkeling. Also, they did amazing handling my husband’s allergies (he has 3 big ones and they were awesome at modifying the menu so he could eat). Would gladly, gladly do this again.

Beautiful walk on the Caldera - Very nice tour, with bath stops at three different points of the Caldera, and explanations about the island's history and rocky formations.
The driver who picked us up at the hotel (Philip) was very attentive, both going and going.
The crew of the boat - Serenity on 11/08 - was great! They did the most for our group to feel at ease and even gave a way to prepare a little surprise for my daughter, who was celebrating her birthday.
Also, the meal on board was quite tasty.
We recommend the walk!

Fantastic day at sea! - We booked Caldera Blue catamaran for the 10:30 sail and it did not disappoint.
We were picked up promptly from our hotel and taken to the marina with a couple of stops along the way. Our driver, Maria had a good sense of humour and was informative.
Once at Vlyhada our small group of 11 were walked to the Bella Vita boat where we were met with our captain and two crew. All of which were very friendly and spoke good English.
Before we set sail all of those that needed to pay did so, and the safety briefing/rules commenced.
We quickly left the marina and there was ample space to spread out and sunbathe on the boat, along with shade at the rear if that’s your preference.
We went to a couple of stops first where we were informed of the history of the island and the beaches we visited before our first 20 minute swim stop in the hot springs. After we left here we headed for another swim stop in a bay where a very enjoyable lunch was served. Chicken and sausage cooked on the BBQ, with Greek salad, Tzatziki and rice plus more, were all freshly prepared. Something for everyone!
Soft drinks (all branded cans) and local white wine were served throughout the trip.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable trip and one we would highly recommend.

Beautiful sunset tour - Absolutely magical experience. We were on Infinity with Captain Akis , Christa and Nickos. It was a gold tour so all drinks (wine beer and soft drinks/water) were included as well as a delicious bbq. The crew were amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable, we felt in very safe hands. We opted for the sunset cruise and it did not disappoint…simply beautiful. Fabulous food, drinks flowing, swimming, sight seeing all from the comfort of a beautiful catamaran. We loved every minute and would not hesitate to recommend.

Amazing - Mέδυσα.
Best trip in the boat you can only dream about . Captain is smart and careful. Food is simply great and Stathis is a dear guide and the best expert of Santorini. You will be sad to leave the boat.

Great Boat Tour with included Transport, Food, and Drink - We had a great time on our sunset tour. The meal and drinks were very good. There was a small group of people on the boat with us, but there was still a sense of privacy. I will say that the itinerary makes it seem like you will be stopping at the beaches. You will not, instead you will go past them and spend some time in the hot springs in the center of the caldera. For the sunset alone, the trip was worth it. Also, free transport.
