Volcano & hot Spring tour - Very comfortable @ slow ride. 1st stop was at Volcanos i advise suitable footwear trainers & shorts or properly dressed wth plenty of water in heat. You can easily do this at your own pace or with your group wthin an hour. It is all up hill though. The 2nd stop was Volcanic Spring waters. My husband jumped in, you have to ask for a woggle & are guided in & are not allowed to dive in. Me & my children watched & enjoyed view. You are allowed 30 mins & it goes very quick by the time the whole group jumps in & gets back in. Definatly worth the visit & money.

Fun, active - Lovely trip to the volcano and hot springs. You have a long time on the volcano to explore and then 30 mins to swim in the hot spring. A very nice day out in Santorini.

Traditional boat trip - We booked this in oct this year.. the traditional boat was so beautiful and it started from the old port in Fira.. we were taken to the Volcanic island .. which was a good 20 min walk up hill but our guide was with us and he kept us occupied with the stories about how Santorini n nearby volcanic islands were created.. the view from top was worth it ..this was followed by swim in nearby hot spring water and then they stopped over another island for lunch.. it was a small group tour hardly 25 people.. so it was well organised n fun.. The view from the boat was amazing and we were happy that we chose this activity for the day..

Unforgettable experience in Santorini - Sailing to the volcano was an amazing experience. Hiking to the top of Nea Kameni with a knowledgeable guide was invaluable. Finally, swimming in the Aegean and the natural hot springs was absolutely unforgettable.

Nice tour, not sure it's worth the stairs - The tour was a great day out however it was very chaotic down at the port - There's so many tours and people crammed onto such a tiny port. Also the walk down past the donkeys was horrific, the animal abuse is shocking. Would advise taking the cable car to avoid witnessing this but the queues were huge in June for going down and coming back up. I don't understand why the tours don't run from the new port, the old port just doesn't make sense anymore for how popular the island is. If I had known how horrendous it was going to be going up and down the stairs while nearly being trampled by malnourished donkeys covered in open wounds, I probably wouldn't haven't done the tour to be honest.

Only worth $30 - If you want a much too crowded activity on a small boat, this activity is only worth the $30 without more. Also the visit was supposed to start at the volcano to end at the thermal baths, but they started with the thermal baths so hiking the volcano soaking is very unpleasant. Also be advised that to reassemble the boat there is only a small ladder then difficult for older or bulky.
