Santorini Volcanic Islands Cruise with Hot Springs Visit, Volcano Hike, Thirassia & Oia

Imagine a day where the Aegean Sea sparkles under the Greek sun, where ancient volcanoes whisper secrets, and where every turn reveals a postcard-worthy view. This isn’t just a cruise—it’s a journey through Santorini’s soul, blending adventure, relaxation, and the kind of beauty that makes time stand still.

Tour Overview

Picture yourself gliding across turquoise waters as the morning breeze brushes against your skin. You’ll hike a dormant volcano, soak in therapeutic hot springs, and wander the quiet charm of Thirassia Island—where time moves slower and the flavors are richer. The day culminates in Oia, where the sunset paints the sky in hues of gold and rose, a perfect finale to an unforgettable escape.
This isn’t just sightseeing; it’s a day of feeling Santorini—its warmth, its wild beauty, and the stories etched into its cliffs.

Exploring the Hot Springs

Dive into the island’s legendary Palea Kameni hot springs, where the sea meets volcanic warmth in a natural jacuzzi. The mineral-rich waters, heated by the earth itself, soothe tired muscles as you float beneath the open sky. It’s not just a swim—it’s a moment of pure connection with Santorini’s fiery past and tranquil present.
Pro tip: Wear a dark swimsuit—the sulfur can leave a playful (but temporary!) yellowish hue.

Memorable Moments

  • Standing atop the Nea Kameni volcano, where the ground crunches underfoot like walking on the moon, with panoramic views of the caldera stretching endlessly.
  • The first sip of ouzo in a seaside taverna on Thirassia, paired with fresh octopus and the sound of waves lapping at the shore.
  • Watching Oia’s sunset from the water, as the whitewashed cliffs glow amber and the crowd’s collective gasp blends with the clinking of glasses.
  • Laughing with new friends on the boat ride back, salt in your hair and the day’s adventures still buzzing in your veins.

Santorini isn’t just a destination—it’s a feeling. And this tour? It’s your invitation to live it fully. Come aboard, leave the ordinary behind, and let the islands rewrite your story.

What's Included

Your journey is thoughtfully crafted to immerse you in the beauty, culture, and flavors of your destination—without the worry of hidden details. Every experience is designed to feel personal, meaningful, and effortless, so you can focus on the moments that matter.

  • Private, comfortable transport that glides you from one breathtaking landscape to the next—whether it’s a scenic drive through rolling hills, a boat ride on tranquil waters, or a short flight with views that take your breath away. No crowded buses, just space to relax and soak it all in.
  • Authentic meals that tell a story, from sunrise breakfasts with locally roasted coffee to candlelit dinners under the stars. You’ll savor dishes passed down through generations, prepared with ingredients plucked fresh from nearby farms or caught that very morning. (And yes, dietary preferences are always warmly accommodated.)
  • A knowledgeable, passionate guide who feels more like a friend by the end of your trip. They’ll share hidden gems, translate not just words but customs, and adjust the pace to match your curiosity—whether you want to linger in a bustling market or steal a quiet moment in a sunlit courtyard.
  • Exclusive cultural encounters that go beyond the surface: a private weaving demonstration in a family’s home, a music performance where the artists play just for you, or a cooking class where the recipe is a closely guarded secret—until now.
  • Entry to iconic sites—without the hassle. Skip the lines and step inside ancient temples, lush gardens, or world-class museums with pre-arranged access. Your guide will bring history to life with stories that textbooks never tell.
  • Thoughtful surprises along the way, like a handwritten note from a local artisan whose work you admired, a picnic basket waiting after a morning hike, or a traditional blessing for safe travels as you depart. Small touches that turn a trip into a treasure.
  • Flexibility to shape your days. Craving an extra hour at that viewpoint? Prefer to swap a scheduled activity for free time? Your itinerary is a framework, not a cage—adjustments are always welcome.
  • Peace of mind, every step of the way. From 24/7 support during your travels to carefully selected accommodations that feel like a retreat, we’ve handled the details so you can wander with confidence—and return home with a heart full of memories.

Because Travel Should Feel Like Coming Home

This isn’t just a list of inclusions; it’s an invitation to travel deeply. To taste, touch, and connect with a place—and its people—in ways that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked your suitcase.
