Santorini Volcano and Hot Springs Boat Tour
We're sorry. This tour is no longer available.
Overview
We offer a peaceful romantic trip with the essence of a cruise.
Reaching the small port of Nea Kameni, you can walk up and visit this wild landscape with the different volcanic rocks and the active craters, where there is still smoke coming out.
When we reach Hot Springs the water temperature is 30-35 degrees Celsius but it constantly mixes with seawater.
After swimming at the hot springs the boat will start a sail around the caldera where you can take magnificent pictures of the landscape and the houses that literally hang on the edge of the cliff, in combination with the beautiful colours of the sunset. All while on a wooden boat with sails, listening to nice music and enjoying a glass of local wine.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Nea Kameni, 84700 Greece
The boat arrives at the port of Erinia which is the name of the small bay of the active volcano. The ship will remain there for 1 hour and 15 minutes and if you want, you can follow the small path to reach the top where the active craters are located. There you can take pictures, see the rocks still smoking and smell a strong brimstone odour.
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes
Stop At: Nea Kameni Hot Springs, Nea Kameni, Greece
The boat sails to the island of Palaia Kameni where the hot springs are located. These are the famous natural mud baths, which have been created after the volcanic eruptions. The water temperature varies from 30 to 35 degrees Celcius, as it constantly mixes with the normal seawater. It's quite a climb since there is no beach but you should climb down the stairs of the boat. You have to swim about 30 meters until the interior of the small bay of the Hot Springs.
Duration: 30 minutes

Giornata fantastica con un tour di 6 ore in nave tradizionale (tipo vascello) con all’interno bar e bagni. La partenza è dal porto vecchio, che si raggiunge a piedi scendendo da lunghe scalette, al ritorno consiglio la funivia (6 euro solo andata) oppure con scenografica salita a dorso di mulo (5 euro). Il giro in barca costa solo 26 euro, che non è niente su un'isola carissima, e comprende 3 tappe: la visita sul vulcano (ingresso 5 euro) con la guida che conduce un trekking bellissimo anche se impegnativo di 1h30 (mettere scarpe da trekking, anche se ho visto gente con ciabatte infradito sul sentiero roccioso…), con la guida italiana (che traduceva anche in inglese, francese, greco e spagnolo). Dopo la visita a Volcano, la barca si è fermata in prossimità delle Hot Springs, acque termali di color giallastro, in cui fare il bagno lanciandosi dalla barca (solo per nuotatori esperti). La tappa successiva di circa 2 ore poi sull’isola di Thirassia, che ho trascorso prima con una passeggiata lungo la sua costa (molti sassi, e difficile fare il bagno) e poi salendo in alto fino al paesino di Manolas, da cui si gode un fantastico panorama. Il caldo rende la salita difficile ma non impossibile: le soste consentono di ammirare il paesaggio. Durante il ritorno, la barca fa un bel giro della caldera con vista su tutti i villaggi da Oia al porto vecchio, con spiegazioni da parte della guida. Una bella giornata che consiglio a chi rimane a Santorini anche solo per pochi giorni, grazie all’ottima organizzazione di Dakoutros Bros e Santorini Excursions. Ps a bordo come da indicazioni in tutte le lingue era obbligatoria la mascherina, ma ovviamente quasi nessuno la indossava, è anche vero che tra vento, schizzi d'acqua, sole, creme solari, la situazioni non rendeva facile il rispetto delle regole. Tutti i posti a sedere erano quasi occupati nell'escursione delle 11.30.alejandram475

Te lo venden por 20 euros diciéndote que incluye un baño en aguas termales y la visita a la caldera. Tienes que dejarte la ropa y pertenencias allí tirado en el barco sin vigilancia alguna, nadar bastantes metros y volver en pocos minutos para después resultar que la supuesta "agua termal" apenas está tibia y cuando llegas al volcán te piden 5 € más de entrada, cuando se suponía que estaba incluido en el precio.Marie-Ange B

Nous avons chosi la croisière incluant le volcan, la baignade et Thirassia. Au moment de la réservation nous avons insisté pour avoir une croisière avec un guide francophone. On nous a certifié que ce serait le cas. Or la croisère s'est déroulée essentiellement en anglais. Peu de traduction. Devant mon insistance, sur le volcan, le guide a dit quelques mots en français. Les explications en anglais étaient longues, donc j'imagine détaillées, ce ne fut pas le cas pour la traduction en français. Nous avons du attendre la fin des explications en anglais et nous avons ensuite eu à peine le temps de faire le tour du volcan, franchement décevant. Nous étions très nombreux sur le bateau, protocole sanitaire inexistant ! Bref, je déconseille cette compagnie. Un piège à touristes !!!dennis_pol

Πολύ καλά οργανωμένη εκδρομή. Εξυπηρετικό προσωπικό. Επαγγελματισμός. Το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα! Συγχαρητήρια!

Al final no pudimos hacer este tour ya que nos engañaron para sacar los tiquets y cuando nos dimos cuenta ya se había ido el barco. Muy amablemente (y pagando el extra) nos dejaron hacer otro tour muy parecido con visita extra en Thirassia. Lo que nos gustó más fue bañarnos en los Hot Springs, el agua no estaba tan caliente como nos imaginábamos, pero estuvo muy bien (llevar un bañador viejo que se queda de color marrón). El punto extra fue que todas las explicaciones estaban en español.antoineg400

Affluence très mal gérée, tant dans l'organisation des files d'attente en plein soleil (aucune logistique !) que dans la gestion du risque covid (protocole insignifiant, bateaux bondés, règles de base non respectées par une grande partie des clients...

Affluence très mal gérée, tant dans l'organisation des files d'attente en plein soleil (aucune logistique !) que dans la gestion du risque covid (protocole insignifiant, bateaux bondés, règles de base non respectées par une grande partie des clients... Mais ce dernier point n'est pas de la faute des organisateurs..) Bref, excursion très belle mais à faire dans d'autres conditions !
