Santorini: Private Sunset Sailing Tour with Dinner & Pickup★★★★★★★★★★ 4.98 (209)5hYou’ll sail Santorini’s caldera with a local captain, pass Red Beach and White Beach by private yacht, swim off Thirasia island, and enjoy dinner cooked fresh onboard as sunset colors fill the sky.

Private Motor Yacht Cruise Santorini: Snorkel, swim, sunset
›
‹
Private Motor Yacht Cruise Santorini: Snorkel, swim, sunset★★★★★★★★★★ 4.91 (148)5hA private motor yacht cruise around Santorini lets you stop as long as you want at White Beach, the Red Beach, the volcanic hot springs, and Nea Kameni, with snorkeling gear, a Greek meal and open bar included. You pick the daytime departure or the sunset cruise, and the boat picks you up from your hotel. The itinerary can shift if weather demands it, and Cruise Ship guests need to reach the office in Fira an hour before departure.Is it for me?Book the daytime cruise if you want the full five-hour route with multiple snorkel stops and time to absorb each location; the sunset version trades some swimming time for the light show over Ammoudi Harbour and Oia. Either way, the boat is private to your group, so the crew adjusts the pace and the stops to what you want.Free cancellationfrom€ 750View ›
Santorini Snorkeling Private Yacht Cruise with Meal & Bar

‹
Santorini Snorkeling Private Yacht Cruise with Meal & Bar★★★★★★★★★★ 4.94 (88)10hA private full-day motor yacht cruise from Vlychada Marina visits Santorini's Red and White Beaches, the Venetian Lighthouse, thermal hot springs and snorkeling sites around Thirasia Island. The yacht carries your group only; a captain and crew navigate while you relax on the private flybridge with sunbeds, and a Greek traditional meal with open bar (wine and beer) is included, along with snorkeling gear and towels.Is it for me?Ten hours is a full day commitment, which means you won't fit other activities into the same afternoon—but it's also what lets the yacht visit the volcano, the hot springs, two distinct beaches and a snorkeling site without rushing any of them, and still have time to relax on the flybridge between stops.Free cancellationfrom€ 1,850View ›
Santorini Private Sailing: Volcano, Hot Springs & Sunset Dinner
›
‹
Santorini Private Sailing: Volcano, Hot Springs & Sunset Dinner★★★★★★★★★★ 5.00 (7)6hYou sail past Santorini's volcanic coastline—Red Beach, White Beach, Mavro Vouno—stopping to snorkel in clear water and swim in the warm springs near Nea Kameni. Dinner and local wine are prepared onboard as you anchor in the caldera at sunset, with all snorkeling equipment and beverages included. The boat returns to Vlychada after dark.Is it for me?Book this if you want the caldera's volcanic sites, hot springs, and snorkeling in one private outing without arranging a boat, equipment, or dinner separately—the fixed itinerary and all-inclusive meals mean you arrive, sail, and eat without planning the details yourself.Free cancellationfrom · per group€ 1,000View ›

Snorkeling in Santorini: Sunset Catamaran with Hot Springs★★★★★★★★★★ 4.83 (1,338)5hA five-hour catamaran tour from Santorini that sails past the volcano, stops at the hot springs for a swim, and anchors at Red and White Beaches for snorkeling. The boat holds a maximum of twenty passengers, includes a live guide in English or Greek, hotel pickup, snorkeling gear, towels and a grilled Greek menu prepared on board, plus local wine and beer throughout. The tour ends at Amoudi Bay timed to catch the sunset.Is it for me?Book the sunset tour if you want the full day of snorkeling and sailing timed to end as the light goes; the morning tour works better if you prefer to snorkel earlier and have the rest of your day free, though it skips the sunset finale.Free cancellationTravelers' pickKids −50%from€ 110View ›

It suits anyone who wants to see the volcano and Hot Springs without renting a car or booking separate transport.Free cancellationTravelers' pickKids −50%from€ 79View ›

You choose morning departure—best for snorkeling and the white cliffs in bright sun—or an afternoon sunset cruise. The boat holds a maximum of 14 guests, and all snorkeling equipment, towels, drinks and a guide in English or Greek are included.Is it for me?Book the morning departure if you want the clearest water for snorkeling and the brightest light on the white cliffs; choose the sunset cruise if you're staying on the east side of the island and want to watch the sun drop below Oia from the water instead of from a crowded viewpoint on land.Free cancellationKids −50%from€ 130View ›

Snorkeling in Santorini: Sailing cruise with Greek BBQ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.92 (90)5hA five-hour sailing cruise from Vlychada marina in Santorini visits Red Beach, White Beach, a secluded black sand beach and Nea Kameni Island, with snorkeling equipment, a Greek BBQ dinner made from seasonal ingredients, and unlimited local wine and refreshments included. Choose the day cruise to maximize swimming time or the sunset departure for the light; add transfer from your hotel or arrange your own way to the marina.Is it for me?The day cruise maximizes time in the water across three beaches and the volcanic springs; the sunset option trades daylight swimming for the light show over the caldera at the end. Both include the same meal and snorkeling gear, so pick the departure time that matches when you want to be in the water.Free cancellationfrom€ 95View ›

Morning and sunset departures both work; choose based on light and crowds.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see the caldera from the water rather than from a clifftop, and prefer a route that includes swimming and a proper meal over a quick photo tour.
