Santorini catamaran cruise: Snorkeling Red Beach hot springsA half-day catamaran cruise from Santorini with hotel pickup sails past the volcano, stops at Red Beach and the hot springs for snorkeling, and serves a Greek barbecue meal on board. 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.
Santorini Jeep Tour: Drive Your Own WranglerA five-hour afternoon jeep tour of Santorini where you drive your own Wrangler through sandy and rocky hidden paths to unknown beaches, villages and viewpoints, finishing with a traditional Greek dinner at sunset. You can drive manual or automatic, or ride in the lead vehicle at no extra cost. Hotel pickup, an English-speaking guide, fuel and a soft drink are included.Is it for me?If you want to drive, book this tour—it's the only one in Santorini that puts you behind the wheel of a Wrangler on the island's hidden paths. If you'd rather ride, you can join the lead vehicle at no extra cost, though you'll need to arrange that when you reserve.
Santorini: Private Caldera, Oia & Red Beach Day TourYou’ll wander sleepy villages with local stories in your ear, taste sun-warmed figs in Oia, swim off black volcanic sand at Perissa Beach after lunch by the sea, and stand above Santorini at Prophet Elias Monastery as dusk colors everything soft gold. A private guide shapes every moment to fit your pace — it’s less about ticking sights off and more about feeling each place settle under your skin.
Snorkeling in Santorini: Catamaran with Red & White BeachA five-hour sailing cruise from Santorini's Amoudi Bay aboard the Ipanema 58' catamaran, with stops to snorkel at Red Beach and White Beach, swim in the Santorini Hot Springs, and eat a full Greek barbecue meal on board. Hotel pickup and drop-off, snorkeling equipment, towels, drinks and an English-speaking crew are included; the captain positions the boat as close as Greek law allows to each beach so you enter the water from the vessel.Is it for me?The boat anchors offshore rather than on the beach itself, which is why you step into the water from the deck—a natural entry for swimmers and snorkelers of any level, and the reason the captain can position you closest to the underwater landscape without breaking Greek maritime law.
Santorini ATV Off-Road Tour: Four Villages & Red BeachAn ATV off-road tour of Santorini that covers four southern villages—Megalochori, Emporio, Akrotiri, Pyrgos—plus Red Beach and Vlychada's volcanic coast, with a live guide, safety briefing, helmet and water included. The route uses 4WD function to access pumice valleys and old vineyard trails locals know; swimming at Red Beach is part of the morning program, sunset at a quiet viewpoint part of the evening one. Pickup from Santorini airport or port is available as an add-on option.Is it for me?Hit secret off-road routes and all four southern villages plus two beaches in one afternoon—your guide navigates while you focus on the ride and views.
Santorini: Personal Vacation Photographer Tour & Custom RouteYou’ll wander Santorini’s iconic lanes with a local photographer who knows all the best angles—no awkward posing required. Expect candid moments in Oia or Imerovigli, your own custom route, and digital images you can actually be proud of. It’s less about stiff smiles and more about capturing how you really felt there.
Santorini Snorkeling Catamaran Cruise: Volcano Hot SpringsA 5-hour catamaran cruise from Vlychada port in southern Santorini takes you to the island's most remote snorkeling spots: the Black Mountain coves, the geothermal hot springs at the volcano, and the Red and White Beaches. Snorkeling equipment, lunch with seafood and grilled meats, an open bar with local wine and beer, and hotel pickup are included. You can choose a morning departure or a sunset cruise. A live English-speaking guide leads the route and explains what you're seeing as you pass the 19th-century Akrotiri lighthouse and sail around the volcanic caldera.Is it for me?Choose the morning cruise if you want the clearest water and the most time to explore each snorkeling site; pick the sunset option if watching the light change across the caldera as you return matters more than midday visibility. Both follow the same route and stops—the difference is timing and what you see in the sky.
Santorini: Wine Tasting & 3 Wineries with Volcanic VineyardYou get picked up from your hotel, visit three traditional wineries on volcanic soil, taste 10–12 wines including Assyrtiko and Vinsanto, walk through an actual vineyard, and eat local cheese and olives between tastings. The group stays under ten people, so the pace is yours, and the driver brings you back by late afternoon. Book ahead for April–November departures.Is it for me?Book this if you want to understand Santorini's wine culture without arranging transport, winery reservations, or timing yourself — the guide handles the logistics and the story, leaving you to focus on the taste and the soil beneath your feet.
Santorini: Private Sunset Sailing Tour with Dinner & PickupYou’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.

Santorini Airport & Port Transfers: Private Car with Luggage HelpYou're picked up at the airport or port by a named driver who meets you on arrival and loads your luggage.

No queue, no negotiation, no surprises.Is it for me?Book this if you want to skip the taxi queue and the uncertainty of negotiating a fare after a long flight—the driver arrives at a set time, handles your luggage, and the price is locked in before you land.

Pickup is included; the group stays under eight people. Minimum age is 18.Is it for me?The sommelier guide and the cellar access are what set this one apart—you're not just tasting wine, you're standing in the place where it's made and learning from someone who knows the volcanic terroir, so the eight wines make sense instead of just tasting good.

Santorini island tour: Oia, volcanic beaches & monasteryA five-hour guided tour of Santorini with a local driver covers the island's most photographed spots—Oia's blue-domed churches, the Monastery of Profitis Ilias at the island's peak, red and black volcanic beaches—plus a quieter traditional village in the wine-growing south. You choose between swimming time and lunch at Perivolos Beach or a visit to either Akrotiri's archaeological site or a local wine farm; pickup is included, and the itinerary can be customized to your pace.Is it for me?The flexible itinerary means you steer the afternoon toward what interests you—a swim and meal at the beach, an archaeological dig, or a wine tasting—so the tour fits your pace instead of a fixed schedule rushing you through each stop.
Santorini cruise tour: Skip cable car lines, boat transfersA guided Santorini tour for cruise passengers that swaps the cable car line for private boat transfers to and from the port, letting you spend five hours exploring Oia, Finikia, Megalochori and Perivolos Black Beach instead of standing in the heat.

Groups stay under eight people. Minimum age is 12.Is it for me?The guide speaks English, so you'll follow the commentary comfortably if that's your language. Book this one if you want the five signature stops—Oia, the blue domes, the monastery, the traditional village and the black sand beach—without spending the day figuring out which order makes sense or how to get between them.
Santorini: Fishing Tour with Cooking, Swimming & PickupYou’ll cast your line from a traditional boat off Santorini’s coast, get tips from a local captain (who’s patient with beginners), swim in clear Aegean waters by Red and White Beach, then help cook whatever you catch for lunch right on board. There’s laughter, fresh air, maybe even some new friends—and one of those days you’ll want to tell people about.

The cruise includes snorkeling equipment, a tour escort speaking English, and complimentary pickup and drop-off; minimum age is 18, and cruise ship passengers must provide their vessel details at booking.Is it for me?Book this cruise if you want to snorkel at multiple sites—the volcano's thermal springs and a working fishermen's island—without managing the boat, the meals or the gear yourself. The five-hour span and fixed schedule mean the day holds together: you arrive, swim, eat and return without building an itinerary.
Santorini: License-Free Boat Rental & Coastal ExplorationYou get a license-free motorboat for a half-day or sunset, with safety gear, snorkeling equipment, cooler, and water included. Navigate Santorini's Red Beach, White Beach, Hot Springs, and Volcano on your own schedule. Fuel is pay-as-you-go, measured at start and return.
