5.00Valentino and his crew went above and beyond to make the cruise special. The food was delicious and freshly prepared whilst sailing around the Caldera. Alcohol and soft drinks provided throughout the cruise. We would definitely do this cruise again and Irene the tour operator who organised it for us is bubbly and so friendly.
Excellent and good value for money

5.00Myself and my wife Paula met a lovely lady called Irene whilst on a casual Saturday morning stroll along Kamari Beach - and that’s where our Ippokampos adventure began. The trip itself (a morning cruise with lunch and drinks included) was excellent but it was Irene’s attention to detail and welcoming/caring approach that made the whole experience (including via fantastic communications about the pick-up and drop-off from our hotel) super-special - plus relaxing and enjoyable. A great trip and excellent value for money - which has created wonderful memories.
From Start to Finish, Simply Perfect!

5.00We had an absolutely amazing experience with Ippokampos Sailing! From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew made us feel so welcome. Irene greeted us with her incredible energy and set the tone for an unforgettable day. The cruise itself was phenomenal — the views, the atmosphere, and the delicious food all made for a perfect experience. It was our last day in Santorini, and we couldn’t have chosen a better way to spend it — sailing into the sunset was pure magic. A special shoutout to the Captain and crew: even though the seas were a bit rough, he handled the catamaran so smoothly that no one felt the slightest bit seasick. Highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable sunset, a refreshing swim by the volcano hot springs, and top-notch hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!
A definite must

5.00Beautiful experience. Departing from the harbor we headed to Red Beach, White Beach and Blac Beach. Super clean water. We visited the volcanoes with the opportunity to swim in the thermal waters! Food on board the catamaran with unlimited drinking. I recommend it!

4.00Met Irena who i believe is the manager. Lovely lady and character. Explained everything about the trip. We opted for small group 18 catamaran to red beach..hot spring swim and another stop for swim then food. Trip was great although 18 on the small catamaran was tight. Food was good. Hot springs swim not actually hot. 2nd and last swim lovely. Unlimited drinks available but you do need to ask after first one offered. Shame not to have the crew explain briefly where you are and any history...

5.00We had a lovely afternoon. Chose the sunset cruise and was so glad we did. The weather was very windy so it was a little choppy but sitting up front of the boat staved off any seasickness. The island is so beautiful and seeing it by sea highlights the beauty further. There was plenty of food and the drinks weren’t in short supply. I’d thoroughly recommend
Fantastic catamaran

5.00Wonderful excursion very fun visited wonderful places and every time we stopped we had the opportunity to swim, very affable and kind crew have done everything to make us feel good food and drink very good but above all thing not to underestimate the price of all this I must say that exceeds every expectation compared to other cruises that had asked us for unreasonable figures. I recommend it to everyone
