Santorini Volcano & Hot Springs Boat Tour

3 hours

Easy

Explore Santorini's volcanic islands on a three-hour boat tour, with a guided visit to Nea Kameni and a hot-springs swimming stop at Palea Kameni. Volcano admission, cable-car tickets and hotel transfers are extra.

Explore the volcanic side of Santorini on a three-hour boat excursion to Nea Kameni and the hot springs of Palea Kameni. The experience combines time on the volcanic island with a guided explanation of its history and geology, followed by a stop for confident swimmers.

Walk on Nea Kameni

The standard itinerary starts from the Old Port of Fira and sails to Nea Kameni. Spend approximately an hour and a half on the island, with the opportunity to follow the guide towards the volcanic ridge. The paths can be steep, so the supplier recommends comfortable hiking shoes.

Swim at the hot springs

Continue by boat to Palea Kameni for an approximately 30-minute stop near the hot springs. Reaching the bathing area requires strong swimming ability. Foam pool noodles are provided, but they do not replace that requirement.

Know what is included

The boat excursion and professional guide are included. Volcano admission, cable-car travel between Fira and the Old Port, and hotel transfers are not included in this option. Bring swimwear and a towel if you plan to swim.

Follow the departure-port and meeting instructions confirmed for your travel date. The supplier has also published a temporary port-diversion notice, so the meeting point must be reconfirmed rather than assumed.
