Overview

Santorini Volcano sits on its own islet some way off the coast of Santorini. There are no water taxis or ferries, so a tour is the only way to visit, and tickets often sell out far in advance. Don’t miss your chance to sail into the caldera, swim in the undersea hot springs, walk along the volcano ridge, and discover the volcano’s history and geology: Entry is at your expense.

Perfect for time-pressed visitors: See the caldera and volcano in half a day
Take the chance to experience undersea mineral springs at Palea Kameni
Avoid FOMO: Don’t miss out on witnessing volcanic action up close
Guide leads the way up the volcano and explains its history and geology

Amazing memories created on horses on glittering black sand beach and ocean breeze across the sparkling wave caps. Manos, Barbara , and Alex made us feel welcome and in good hands. We loved the experience and highly recommend it!

Half day trip

Julia_J, Aug 2025

Perfect for doing a half day trip and still see much of the volcanos. Left with a lot of info and views but in short time. Thanks!

Loved it

Brenda_H, Sep 2024

Loved the volcano hike; lovely to cool off in the “hot springs” (barely warm lol) afterwards. Highly recommend

Don't waste time or money

Valerie_H, Jul 2024

If you are only in Santorini a day. Don't waste your time. You can barely get in water maybe 20 minutes. Volcano isn't that cool more like a hill and it is extremely hot.

Not worth it

Stephanie_H, Jul 2024

The springs were great but the volcano was a no-go because it was so hot. The check in process was a disorganized mess. I went to “exchange” my tickets at the office 30 minutes early and the lady told me I was fine and didn’t need to but then after waiting in line to get on the boat the guy said I had to go get tickets and of course then the lady gave me a sheet of paper to have him scan but then a million other people had boarded and we had to wait for the next boat.

Volcano and a natural hot tub - a great pair!

Jan_M, Jul 2024

This was a wonderful experience. Starting the tour with an exploration of Nea Kemini gave a phenomenal panoramic view from the center of the caldera. We learned some background information about the destruction of Akrotiri and what would happen if the volcano were to violently explode again. After that, we had a wonderful swim in the water and the thermals. One tip for others - you have to jump off the boat into deep waters and swim at least 50 meters each way to and from the boat in moving waves. They had pool noodles for anyone who wanted to use them. Definitely be aware of your swimming strength!

Ok if you hike.

Anne_F, Jun 2024

None, thought we were going to see a volcano but saw a vent in the side. Totally false wording. Rest ok.

Amazing

Jordan_G, May 2024

Georgia was fantastic and the whole experience was awesome. The hike up the volcano wasn’t too challenging, and we were given breaks to catch our breath. The swim in the hot springs were amazing, but make sure to wear a dark swim suit as the minerals will stain light colors. Also recommend showering and especially washing your hands before you do anything else, as I caught a mild bacterial infection from the swim.

Great day on the water

Carla_P, May 2024

We chose to tour areas of Greece without taking a big cruise liner- with this tour and others we enjoyed the beautiful water without the fuss of cruising! The boat was comfortable and i even got in the water for the hot springs- it was cold before it was hot- but a lovely little dip! The crew was lovely and the explanation of the area very interesting!

Volcano tour

Elisa_F, May 2024

Excellent tour and history of the volcano and formation of Santorini as it is today. If you plan to swim wear a dark bathing suit.

Interesting and fun trip

Russell_B, Oct 2023

Great trip. Good walk up to top of volcano with spectacular views. Very well organised. Interesting guide. Fun swim into hot springs.

Good excursion

Susanne_S, Oct 2023

The view from the volcano island was great. FYI the volcano is not showing lava. Only some smoke and sulfur smells

Unique experience

marc_l, Sep 2023

Guide was informative and very courteous. Seeing volcano was a unique experience Guide gave ample time for everyone in the group to rest and make it up to the top

Nice trip, pleasant tour...

Susan_A, Aug 2023

Nice trip, pleasant tour guide. We had a great day. Don't forget a bathing suit, towel and water proof bag if you want pictures at the hot springs. The swim there was great, refreshing!!

Family run amazing experience

Frank_F, Jun 2023

A must-do tour for Santorini

Susan_K, Jun 2023

Our trip was quite enjoyable. The group hike up the caldera was well paced and we had plenty of time for photographs. Our guide, Georgiana(?), was super informative and engaging. We learned a lot about both the history and the geology of the area. Well worth the time and money.

The trip is nice and our...

Jackie_L, Apr 2023

The trip is nice and our guide Georgia is very nice trying her best to teach us about the volcano. Recommended if u r in a time limit.

Cancelled with no notice

Alan_H, Oct 2022

We turned up as instructed only to find the shop closed. We called the number provided and we told they'd decided to cancel that days tour. We received no warning of the cancellation and it clearly wasn't last minute as they didn't even open the shop. Disrespectful of other people's time.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Dear Alan, the departure was cancelled due to weather conditions according to the port authorities instructions. Our staff called the customers and rescheduled their tour. If you were unreachable on the phone, we have no other way to contact you, and our office was open on the day as we run other excursions as well, are you sure you went to the right spot? Of course, you have received a full refund since the departure was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

Well worth it

Staci_R, Aug 2022

The views on top of the mountain and the hot springs. There were goats above the hot springs. The port is very busy in the morning, but the tour company gave us good instructions.

Mass market budget tour option

Russell_c, Jul 2022

This is a bit of a mass market experience so you are in with the crowds. The best part is the swimming at the springs but overall a bit underwhelming.

The springs was the best...

smhh8sctd6, Jul 2022

The springs was the best part, sadly you only get half an hour there. Would prefer longer time at the springs. Volcano was underwhelming
