The overall tour was enjoyable. But due to poor weather we could not see all the areas as described (such as red beach). Also for whatever reason, we visted an area just outside the hot springs and not the hot springs themselves which was unusual. The pickup from our hotel was fast. Food on board was decent with plenty to drink. Overall there are better tours out there with more value for money.

I loved everything about the sunset tour in Santorini. We did the beaches, the volcano and sunset. One of the best experiences of our lives. The Yacht team was very hospitable. We had an amazing BBQ with all you want refreshments. There was swimming in the sea. We took so many beautiful photos. I would definitely book this tour again or another one with the Santorini Yacht Club.

Good overall; hot springs swimming was the fanciest part.
There was a confusion about the pickup place and time (I didn't get an email) so I had to call to the office and rescheduled it for the following day.
Santorini Volcano, Hot Springs & Thirassia Day Cruise From Fira
James

This was brilliant from start to finish. I was worried it might not happen as never used headout before but was super easy to book and join the event. The boat itself was a lovely Greek sailing boat and it took us to three different amazing locations across the island. They served food onboard which was exceptional and the staff were so polite and helpful, nothing was too much travel.
The private transfer back from NST was an amazing surprise and would use again.

It was very nice and they made us feel very good and top, we celebrated my best friend's birthday and they were special, they sang his birthday and everything, really highly recommended, the only thing I would recommend is that in addition to the main course they put snacks like potatoes or olives or peanuts after that while you drink, otherwise excellent, the drink is unlimited 💕

The experience was great for our family of 6. The crew were very nice and tentative. The lunch was enjoyed all around! Kebabs, pasta, salad and drinks! My only complaint was that we wished we had longer to snorkel at the 2 locations, but understand the time schedule. The water was perfect!

Ticket office not very visible (no signs). Comments only in English. Nice hike on Nea Kameni (you need to be a good walker) and Thirassia, pretty port for a lunch break (bring a picnic if you don't want to be in the middle of all the tourists 😁).
