Amazing!! - Had an amazing experience on our boat tour! For the price it was absolutely amazing. We spent about 4 hours exploring the volcano, swimming in the hot springs etc. We got free wine and water which was lovely. The captain was excellent and included everyone on the tour. Overall recommend to anyone visiting Santorini!!

Beautiful half-day of hike, swim, and lunch. - Great smaller group and smaller boat (than others we have seen). Tour operator/captain was very nice. The trip to Thirassia was a great bonus—lunch there was one of the tastiest we had. Glad for the pool noodles for a relaxing swim. The volcano hike can be tough in the August heat, fyi.

Really good boat trip - The boat trip was amazing. We were only 12 people on the boat and the boat driver was really good, giving good description before each stop and always smiling. The boat had a shade at rear, which is a must in the hot sizzling sun of Santorini. Overall we were very happy and satisfied with our trip.

Volcano and hot springs - This was the most incredible trip - I’m so glad we booked it! I almost booked a similar trip with a bigger company when I noticed a review which said that around 80 people are on board and it’s absolute mayhem when you’re entering the hot springs - with 4 children really didn’t want to take that risk! And I am SO glad we didn’t! There were only 12 people on this boat in total and we were ahead of all of the main boat trips meaning we had the volcano and the hot springs all to ourselves! It was the most incredible experience. I really loved the additional small touches like the towels and water provided as well as a small glass of wine. It was such an amazing day! I would absolutely recommend booking this cruise if you want to visit the volcano and hot springs away from the crowds! Thank you for such a brilliant experience!

Great price, good value, highly recommend it! - The boat driver was very kind, generous, and you can tell that he is a very experienced and good at the job. He even helped comfort our child when he was upset about not being able to swim in the hot spring--he is not experienced in swimming enough. We hiked in the volcano island and the view is amazing. This is very much appreciated because we took a way more expensive cruise the day before but even was not allowed to get off the boat to hike on the volcano--even though it says that we would visit the volcano. We chose this 4-hour tour because we only had that much time before departing from the island so it suits our schedule very well. If you have more time, I would recommend considering choosing the 6-hour one offered by the same company so you have more time on the volcano, swimming in the hot spring, and eating lunch at the second island. This 4-hour one is great but feels a little rushed. We still had a good experience and highly recommend it!

If you want a peaceful, relaxing cruise to some the Santorini's most beautiful locations, without the crowds, this is it - This was an exceptionally good boat cruise, with only 12 people on a lovely greek fishing boat. The staff member from INV gave us some excellent advise to take the first boat of the day at 9.30, which would ensure we would be at each location before the larger boats, and therefore, enjoy the Volcano walk, the Hot Springs and the lunch hour on Thirassia without the crowds. This advice proved very true, and we really appreciated it. This cruise was much cheaper than other cruises, but was just as good, if not better. We had a very relaxed morning, and throughly enjoyed the peaceful cruise on a lovely traditional wooden fishing boat. Well done to the staff at INV, and also the crew on the boat.

No Frills but Great Tour - Would rate 4.5 stars and only because our driver/guide did not provide us with any information about the volcano, Thirassia, or the hot springs. It would have been nice to hear a little bit about the places we visited. Otherwise, the boat was great but small, can comfortably fit about 20 passengers, any more than that and we’d be squished. I highly recommend doing the volcano hike but it’s a moderate difficulty due to the rocky and hilly terrain. The hike is not guided and you must pay the fee (6€) to enter. Stopping in Thirassia was a highlight. Absolutely amazing place to see. The hot springs are very cool though they’re more like warm springs (80°) and don’t wear any jewelry as it can tarnish. Would definitely recommend !

Mesmerising views and a memorable experience - The boat ride to the volcanic island, the rocky island that was black and the blue and green water at the hot spring.
