Volcano tour

We had an amazing trip to the volcano and hot springs !Private trip with great guides! They gave us lots of information along the way and we were able to come and go when we were ready! We would book again if we come back to Santorini!

Amazing Santorini Sunset Moment

What a wonderful night. We did the sunset private boat ride for a family of 4. It was too hot to hike the volcano, so we opted for swimming in the bay followed by the hot springs. What a strange and awesome experience to feel the melding of hot and cold waters all around your body. George, our guide, was informative, friendly, polite, and great company! So much so, we invited him to visit us in Colorado. We learned so much about the volcanos, the island of Thirasia, where our guide and family still lives. We all got off that boat and said that was worth every penny! And it was. Thank you for the opportunity to learn about Santorini, Thirasia, and your culture. Eternally grateful for this experience!

Family charter

We booked a private 3-hour tour with Spiridakos and it was genuinely one of the highlights of our Santorini trip. We were a family of three — two adults and an 8-year-old — and Nick and George on the Oia looked after us brilliantly from start to finish. The hot springs were spectacular and Nick and George made sure our son David had the best time — patient, fun, and clearly experienced with families. The whole trip felt personal rather than transactional, which is exactly what you want from a private charter. The boat itself was immaculate, the snorkelling gear was all provided, and the crew’s knowledge of the caldera and volcano was excellent.

Discover the amazing waters in Santorini

Last minute booking but an awesome experience! Great boat, great crew and amazing time! We went swimming in 4 different locations including the Caldera volcano waters and a cave in one of the rocky beaches! Great way to spend the afternoon in Santorini.
