A must do. Beautiful views of Red / white and black beaches. Crew is very friendly! Amazing sunset! Swimming in hot springs was lovely and refreshing but not so hot. I was expecting better views on snorkeling but not quite so!

Apart from the sunsets in Santorini this was the highlight of my stay! Care from staff was reassuring as I was quite anxious before I boarded and had never snorkelled or been on a catamaran previous. Highly recommended!!

Check-in process was very chaotic. Too many groups and boats trying to disembark/embark at the same time. We missed out on a lot of water time because we were the last boat to embark. The staff was very attentive. Always ready to get you another drink. I just wish they would’ve offered to take our photos at sunset. No one got good sunset photos because we were kind of forced to just get selfies or solo photos of each other, with other guests in the background. I’ve been on other sunset cruises where the staff set us up for great photos at sunset. The food was great. Plenty of options and very fresh.mark_b
