Book the day tour (10:00–15:00) or the sunset departure (15:00 onward), and bring a swimsuit—you'll spend most of the afternoon in the water.Is it for me?Choose the day tour if you want the afternoon in the water and prefer to be back on land by early evening; pick the sunset departure if you're free later and want to watch the light move across the Caldera as you sail back. Either way, the small group size and the boat's access to quiet anchorages mean you're not competing with the big tour boats for space in the water.Free cancellationKids −33%from€ 120View ›
