Santorini · SANTORINI VOLCANO TOURS

The 15 Best Volcano & Hot Springs Tours in Santorini

33 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.4 average  ·  from $29

The black cone in the middle of the bay is still active, and the climb to the crater is thirty steep minutes with no shade. These 15 trips cover it, the rust-warm springs off Palea Kameni, and which ones also land on Thirassia — priced, timed, and clear about the walking.

4.Santorini Volcano and Hot Springs Cruise Tour from Fira Old Port

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,214 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $36.04

Cruise from Fira to Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni for a volcano hike, guided geology, and a swim in warm hot springs.

“The volcano tour was fabulous, and our guide was excellent. Be sure to wear joggers, as the rocky surface with loose stones makes it a bit of a mini hike in the heat and wind. The tour also included a stop for swimming at the hot springs, though we chose to relax on the boat instead.”

Sail on a Santorini volcanic islands cruise to Volcano crater, Nea Kameni lava, hot springs, and Thirassia, with bus pickup.

“Sadly my gf and I couldn't do the hike to the volcano or the swimming because I had hurt my t-band muscle and could walk up steep inclines yet and she had twisted her ankle in Thessaloniki before we got to Santorini. But did get to meet some interesting people see the spots and the great views from the ship. Also, learned a little more of the history of the sea, volcano and sulfer hot springs and did get to walk around Thirassia.”
