This trip was by far the highlight of our trip! The whole team were so incredibly friendly, the food and drink were great and the transport was straight forward and organized. Our Captain George, and his crew Andrianna, and Nicolas were also a big help. The group size was perfect & not overly crowded. The drinks were either wine or beer, and when the water got a little choppy they would come around for refills to avoid us having to walk back and forth which was great. The music was a vibe and set the mood, and the energy of the staff created a really fun environment. Even down to the drivers, the whole tour was exceptional. The sunset you get to see from the boat, is pretty incredible. Depending on what the group wants they can let you swim longer, but it’s nice that it is flexible. I honestly can’t recommend this tour enough!

Amazing. Fun packed day. guide Jannis (sp?) was very engaging, informative and attentive. Driver Nikos kept us safe on the winding roads of Santorini. We also had lots of free time in Perissa. Almost 2 hours! Ample enough time for lunch and a swim. A+++ Only con was the organization for the bus ride back. Utter chaos with the pax line ups at the parking lot trying to figure out which bus to take as not everyone would take it back with the original driver. But after everyone was assigned, the buses still promptly left at the departure time. Overall a good experience.

On-time pick-up from hotel with a modern van. Lovely catamaran large enough for our group (~20). Appreciated the brief historical information & details about the area as we sailed. Food was delicious. Clean towels and bathrooms. Attentive staff. Definitely recommend!

loved everything. the history lesson at the Akrotiri site was fascinating. our guide Christina shared a lot about Santorini. very interesting. our driver was superb. excellent experience.

We had the best experience on this tour. Our guide, Panos, and the driver were amazing and super knowledgeable. It was the perfect way to explore Santorini.
