Breathtaking views and amazing staff - Highly recommend the day tour! We originally had the sunset tour booked but due to high winds had to change last minute and the company was very understanding and accommodating. The day tour turned out so much better than we would have expected and the water was perfect for being out in the hot sun. Definitely bring sunscreen and reapply!

Unforgettable family sunset experience - At first, my family and I were hesitant about the tour, thinking it might be geared towards young couples. However, we were pleasantly surprised; it's truly suitable for all ages. We loved every moment, especially the breathtaking sunset spot. When my wife felt seasick, the crew went above and beyond to assist her, and she quickly recovered to fully enjoy the trip. It was a fantastic experience, and we're grateful to the crew for making it so memorable for us.

Service. Smiles. Sunsets - Wow, super impressed, the service from the crew was 5 star. Nicholas with small history facts and constant wine top ups, the care was unbelievable, also brought us blankets when he knew it was getting cold. Food was great, Greek salad, tzatziki, bread, grilled chicken, dolmas. Really really the best boat trip I’ve been on across many countries. Well done to this company! We booked it at 14:20 (couple from London), they collected us literally 5 minutes later from our hotel in Imerovigli, 30 mins later we set sailed, thanks for all the efforts with that on our last day in Santorini.

Must do in Santorini! - Very lovely crew. First things first: they picked us up at Oia where we were staying. About a 30 minute ride. We were then met with Captain Makis who was pleasantly funny. The crews Borhan and Chrisa took care of us and gave us all the history and fun facts from the islands we passed by. The swimming spots were perfect and not too cold (I'm Canadian) and others found it a bit chilly. Take note we went in April which I thought was the perfect month as it wasn't busy at all. We saw the red, white, and black rock islands. Beautiful! The volcanic hot springs had warm spots but full of sulphur so be aware of that if you have asthma and don't wear light coloured swimwear as it might get stained. The food was lovely. We had Greek salad, tomato past, tzatziki and bread, and others. Unlimited wine and soft drinks. And the best part was we witnessed one of the most beautiful sunset I have ever experienced in my life. Overall a very positive experience! Don't hesitate to book them! 😊

A must do excursion! - This was a wonderful trip. The crew was fantastic and the view was beautiful. Even though the water was chilly, it was still nice to just lay out on the deck with a drink in hand. The pick up from our hotel was easy and the driver was prompt. It was a good idea to have a sweatshirt as it got chilly at sunset. A great ride! Totally worth it!

Santorini by water - Amazing experience with a great crew. In March the water is very cold but it is still enjoyable staying on the catamaran at the swim stops. Definitely one of the best ways to see the island.

All that you can ever want and more!!! - My husband and I wanted to go on a cruise while vacationing here in Greece for our honeymoon. We were fortunate to get this opportunity booked last minute for us by the help of the sales representative on Viator. From the very beginning we had great customer service with the Santorini Catamaran/ Spiridakos cruise team. They offered pick up services, meals and drinks (both non alcoholic and wine) on the cruise, music, history lessons of the island and its surrounding features. The crew, Captain Leo and crew member Joe, was so friendly and down to earth. They were always attentive and made sure that our safety along with our satisfaction was priority. We danced, took awesome pictures of the beautiful views we came across, and got to meet other couples on the cruise with us. This cruise was one of our highlight during our stay in Santorini. Everything was perfect. The sunset view on this cruise was breathtaking. I understand the hype now about the sunset here in Greece! It’s truly magical.

Must go experience - Our excursion with captain Leo and crew could not have been better - they are a top organization and this is a must do attraction when in Santorini. We went out on a nice boat, saw the most amazing sceneries, had a delicious meal with open drinks and all with a ver nice and upbeat environment - you won’t go wrong by choosing this tour

BEWARE CRUISE TRAVELERS - DO NOT BOOK - Cruise Travelers Beware!!!!!!!! Due to the Santorini Coast Guards, while aboard the Sun Princess - our ship was not able to allow any tenders to bring passengers into port for 3 hours past our arrival time of 7am. Clearly this was not our fault, and we were charged DOUBLE for missing our excursion. The communication between Viator and incoming cruise ships needs massive improvement. We were all ready to disembark at 7am. Aside from jumping off the ship and swimming to shore, we were stuck. Prior to booking, they asked where we wanted to be “picked up.” We entered the port’s address. Come to find out, it’s 30 minutes away, after you are forced to wait in line to go up a cable car. The line we stood in lasted 1 1/2 hours. That was not translated prior to booking. They refuse to refund us (even during their slow season, when we wouldn’t have even been able to partake in getting in the water to swim or snorkel). Travelers - be prepared for massive wait times upon arrival to Santorini. If you are on a cruise - do NOT book this sailing excursion. It is a waste of your time, energy, and money. You will never make it. They advertise poorly, and you will be thoroughly disappointed. And to boot, you will not get your money back. AVOID THIS EXCURSION IF ON A CRUISE. Or in general - if you value customer service.
