5.00This was a lovely experience. Captain Antony and his crew were helpful, knowledgable and made a great barbecue for lunch. The tour lasted around 4 hours during which time we visited a number of stunning viewpoints and had a couple of stops for swimming at the Red Beach and the Hot Springs. I'd definitely recommend this experience.

5.00From start to finish the experience with Ippokampos sailing was fantastic! Transfer from hotel to port, which is arranged for you was very efficient. At the port we were given comprehensive safety information by the wonderful Irene, then it was time to board the beautiful catamaran to set sail. Drinks were provided and the delicious food was cooked fresh and there was plenty of it! There were several swim stops including the hot springs, Captain Valentino chose a secluded spot for this which was much appreciated. Snorkeling equipment, float noodles and towels were provided free of charge. As the cruise progressed, Captain Valentino would give interesting information on the history of Santorini. A truly wonderful day, we were so impressed we are going on the sunset cruise tonight. Thank you Irene, Captain Valentino and all the crew for helping us make wonderful memories.
Better somewhere else than this Enterprise.

1.00In short: We've been ripped off. I would even call it fraud with intent and endangerment. The tour was definitely offered as Premium (homepage of the company 150€ pP) and Classic. (approximately 30€ pP difference at time of booking via TripAdvisor) The main difference between Premium and Classic is, according to the description, the fish at Premium. (A grilled prawn with 2 small crabs and fish fillet, which is a baked one? ball of bread and fish, acts without taste). We booked the premium half-day tour with Sunset. Both groups were separately chased around in the harbour and then landed on a boat together. I don't have an evidence photo, but I'm sure there were more than 20 guests out of a supposed maximum number of 16. The description referred to 'small group'. At just before 3pm we were the third last boat to leave the port after 5 minutes of safety briefing. (It didn't take us much time, otherwise we'd be gone later ...) Without further information we went straight to the springs, where we searched for the warm water for 20 minutes with moderate success. Sure the hot springs are somewhere, but we were probably the only Enterprise far and wide at this point for a reason.... Here came the brief info which vent is the old and which is the new. Quickly shower (so that the sulphurous water does not stain the boat) and on. Second stop, the announcement: last swim and snorkel, 20 minutes, then there's food. Although fish are fed bread, many can be seen, but only two varieties. We had more success on the beach. No showering to get the salt water away. I was asking. Not necessary. So I stayed salty. Would have liked to change... All the food offered is then put on a plate like in the cafeteria and you can eat where you want. It's not easy with an overcrowded boat. Back towards the port, close to the red beach long and the last kilometers to the port entrance slow so that we can still see the sunset. Other boats turned so that guests could look and snap in peace ... Third boat back in at just after 7pm. (I counted 30 catamarans behind us at sunset). We were the last to disembark, if I saw it correctly were 10 euros and a stone in the tip box.... I advise against touring with this Enterprise. If I find the spot on TripAdvisor where I can claim back the premium surcharge, I'll get it. Because "Premium / Semi-Private" definitely looks different.

5.00We celebrated our anniversary with Ippokampos on their sunset cruise, and it was absolutely unforgettable. Super romantic, with stunning views and a relaxed vibe. The crew was fantastic, so friendly and welcoming, and we even made a couple of new friends! Captain Valentino was amazing! He was professional, kind, and always making sure we were comfortable. The whole team took great care of us from start to finish. If you want to explore the beauty of Santorini and have a great time doing it, Ippokampos is 100% the way to go! 💙⛵

5.00An unforgettable 5-hour catamaran cruise from Kamari! We had an absolutely amazing time cruising from Kamari port past the Red Beach, White Beach, and volcanic shores. The scenery was breathtaking, and every stop was special in its own way. The BBQ on board was delicious, and the overall atmosphere — warm, relaxed, and joyful. Huge thanks to the fantastic captain and crew — so professional, friendly, and fun! The people on board made the experience even better — such a great group of fellow travelers. And the sunset… truly unforgettable. Watching the sun go down over the sea was pure magic. I wholeheartedly recommend this cruise — don’t miss the chance if you’re in Santorini! Irene - you are best guide 💗
