Pickup details
*Pick Up information* We will send you a message with the exact location and time for the pickup, after the booking. The pick-up happens with a Mini Bus, at least one hour before the start time of the cruise and the pickup location might be a short walking distance from your hotel. *Are you a Cruise Ship Guest visiting Santorini?* Most tender boats drop you off at the Old Port of Fira, but WE CAN NOT PICK YOU UP from there since there is no road access. You will need to take the cable car to reach our office in Fira and be there at least one hour before the start of our sailing cruise. Let us know what time the tender starts and gets back to your cruise ship. We need to make sure that you have enough time to return.
What To Expect
After pickup from your hotel, travel to Vlychada port, board your vessel, and cast off for a day of adventure.
Sail first to the red beach at Akrotiri, a shoreline setting that gets its name from the iron-rich mineral formations in the local rocks. Continue from there to the aptly-named White Beach, a sandy setting that’s only reachable by boat. You may get the chance to swim and snorkel in the area’s crystal-clear waters.
Depart the White Beach and continue cruising toward the lighthouse, passing beneath the island’s Indian Rocks, a series of otherworldly geological formations. Sail beneath the whitewashed houses of Fira and Imerovigli, seeming to hang from the nearby cliffs, and check out the volcanic islands of Palea and Nea Kameni off in the distance.
Then proceed near to the new volcano, where you’ll have the chance to soak in undersea hot springs with warm, sulfur-rich waters. From here you’ll float over to Palea Kameni to enjoy more time on the island’s secluded beaches and to dig into a delicious barbecue meal with beers, local wine, and soft drinks. If you’ve booked the sunset cruise, you’ll get to watch the sun sink into the Aegean, too.
Return to Vlychada, where your chauffeur will bring you back to your hotel.

Best experience of our trip! If you are on the fence, just book it, the experience is worth every penny. They were able to accommodate a last-minute booking the morning of our sail after our original tour provider canceled on us. The boat was beautiful and the Captain and crew were fantastic. We got to see so much with plenty of time to swim and relax. Elena and Stella were on top of everything the whole time making sure we had what we needed and were having fun, very impressed with how professional and engaging they were! Seamless experience from transfers to and from the hotel to the sail itself. Would 100% book this same experience again the next time we visit the island.

We had a great sunset cruise. Our boat Caldera II with the team of Niko, Myrto and Captain John were all excellent making sure we had a great time and were comfortable the whole trip. The weather was not super warm given we went in May and it was overcast that day, but we made the best of the swimming stops. The hot spring was not so much hot but warm. The food was great and they were able to accommodate our allergies and dietary restrictions. The private cruise was great as it gave us the ability to personalize the trip if we wanted to spend more time in one location. Would highly recommend this tour to others.
Sally_S, Sep 2022
Our host Kristin and the crew made us feel like VIPs. So kind and always going above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of and didn’t have to lift a finger for anything. Offered recommendations for alternatives spots to avoid crowds and had amazing lunch! All was perfection for our honeymoon!
Chris_E, Jul 2022
From start to finish, an amazing experience. While it was super windy, they did their best to bring us to the Red Beach, the White Beach, where we swam, snorkeled and more.
The food was incredible, way better than we were expecting - followed by an absolutely amazing sunset!
We booked the private tour for two families (9 people), and would highly suggest that! it was the way to go! Don't skip this
