This was a great day out, we booked the cruise with optional Oia visit. The cruise was fantastic: very well organised, the boat had a fully stocked bar & shop, the staff spoke multiple languages and you had plenty of time at each stop. Swimming in the sea was fun as was the volcano walk, although it is a proper hike, so bring trainers (not flip flops! Alot of people didnt read the kitlist). The Oia visit was good, but felt rushed, in hindsight I'd have dedicated half a day to wander round rather than afew hours at peak time (sunset). All in all this trip is great value for money and I'd highly reccomend to couples, groups or families with older children.

We really enjoyed the day (volcano cruise without an Oia stop), it was an excellent experience. However, we felt under-informed in advance about what was going to happen during the day, step by step, including opportunities to eat (we were actually brought to a waterfront with a good selection of excellent restaurants offering great value) and to swim (in 2 locations). A clearer explanation in advance of the different activities during the day would have been really helpful.

Their costumer service is not great as they didn’t pick up our phone calls. They could have had less people on the boat. We couldn’t hear the guide very well as some of the tannoys weren’t working on the boat. The swimming activities should have involved life jackets rather than foam noodles. Positive thing: they changed our schedule without further charges as we missed our original boat by 10 mins.
