Poorly Organized Tour with Major Communication Issues We were very disappointed with this tour due to several organizational and communication failures. First, communication before the tour was extremely poor. The company provided a number for support, but no one ever replied to our messages. The only alternative was email, which was very slow and not practical for time-sensitive questions. This created a lot of stress leading up to the tour. We had booked and paid for round-trip transportation from our hotel to the port. We even received a written confirmation via email stating our pickup location was our hotel. However, on the morning of the tour, no one came to pick us up. I asked the hotel receptionist to call the number listed on our booking since they spoke Greek and I do not. The company then claimed they had sent us a follow-up email changing the pickup location—but we never received this email. As a result, we missed the transportation we had paid for, and no one was available at the port to help or offer a refund. The start of the tour itself was chaotic. We booked an English-speaking tour, but there were no signs or instructions at the port to indicate where to go. We had to ask multiple people to find our boat. Even then, the staff nearly boarded us onto a French-language tour by mistake. Once aboard, we discovered there was no scheduled lunch stop on a tour lasting from 8:50 AM to 4:00 PM. This was never communicated in advance. There were limited snacks available for purchase on the boat, but they were overpriced, unhealthy, and unsuitable for our family’s dietary restrictions. If we had known, we would have brought our own food. There were two swimming stops during the tour. The first, at the hot springs, required a short but enjoyable swim from the boat. Afterward, we changed into dry clothes assuming that was the only swim. Only 30 minutes later, the crew announced a second swim stop at another island—but by then we had changed and missed the opportunity. This could have been easily avoided with proper advance notice. Lastly, the boat was overcrowded, making it uncomfortable and difficult to move around or find seating. Overall, this tour lacked basic organization, transparency, and customer service. We expected a relaxing and well-planned day but instead encountered unnecessary stress and confusion. I would not recommend this experience to others.

The guide Anna was friendly and helpful when we had questions. Nevertheless, we felt very rushed and with little time to enjoy at the volcano. In our opinion, the time in Therassia was unnecessary since Korfu has just a few restaurants that are quite a tourist trap. We would have preferred to have more time at the volcano instead. The transport between venue and meeting points was rather hectic with changing busses and vans and rather hectic drivers as well. To summarize, we would not recommend this particular tour to somebody else.

nice tour however, it was difficult to fully understand the instructions. We felt a bit like cattle. disappointed by the swim: not enough French fries to float and start with cold water to get to the warm waters. too short swimming time. pleasant stop at the little port, but it would have been nice to have been able to visit the village above.

- Booking through Headout seemed to put us at a disadvantage, as despite having let them know we wanted picking up in Pyrgos, the coach there was not expecting us and they weren't expecting us at the boats either. Everyone else seemed to be expected. - The volcanic island hike was amazing, and our host Gabriel was really enthusiastic and interesting to listen to. - It wasn't made clear that the hot springs would be a 16m ocean swim away - I am not a confident swimmer, and therefore wasn't able to visit the hot springs and had to stay on the boat. - For the price we paid I had thought lunch would be included, so was surprised that we had to pay for our own lunch. The stopover itself was lovely though. - The "Oia Sunset Tour" - which we paid extra for - was just us being dropped off at Oia in a coach in time for sunset. There was no tour, no guide, no suggestions of where to go to see the sunset, just us being dropped off and left to our own devices. Overall I definitely wouldn't recommend this experience to someone else, and it was probably one of our least favourite things we did while in Santorini.

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.

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.

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 😁).

We had a great time on our cruise aboard your magnificent boat. Everything was perfect! Visit to the volcano, swimming in the hot springs, buffet dinner (very copious and very good) and sublime sunset ☀️ The crew was top notch! Friendly, smiling and really competent. We won't soon forget this beautiful day. We highly recommend this cruise.
