Santorini Jet Ski Volcano Tour by Wavesports | Air Activities | Snorkel

Santorini’s volcanic caldera offers one of Greece’s most striking natural landscapes, and Wavesports brings it within arm’s reach with their Jet Ski Safari: Volcano Tour. Launching from Perivolos, a famed black sand beach stretching along the southern coast of Santorini, this adrenaline-fueled trip pairs fast-paced riding with stunning volcanic scenery. Wavesports, a well-regarded local outfitter, has crafted this 140-minute adventure to deliver both exhilaration and immersion in the island’s striking topography.

The journey begins by skimming the surface of clear blue waters along beaches like Vlychada and the iconic Red Beach, known for its deep crimson cliffs rising sharply above sea level. Riders then navigate past Santorini’s historic lighthouse at Akrotiri, before crossing the vast Caldera—a flooded volcanic crater formed by a massive eruption roughly 3,600 years ago. The route takes participants to Palea Kameni and Nea Kameni, two active volcanic islets rich with dark lava rock and sparse endemic shrubs, revealing the geologic forces that shaped the archipelago.

Mid-tour includes stops for swimming and snorkeling either near the small island of Aspronisi or the serene Kampia Beach. These spots showcase exceptional clear waters and unique underwater rock formations, perfect for spotting local marine life. For many, these refreshing breaks enhance the invigorating ride and offer a chance to absorb Santorini’s distinctive geology from both above and below the surface.

Wavesports stands out by offering a thoughtful blend of adventure and safety, providing guided support, life jackets, fuel, and even amenities like showers and lockers after the tour. The company’s intimate group sizes ensure personal attention, making this a premier way to engage with Santorini’s volcanic environment beyond the usual hiking or boat tours. Whether you’re an experienced rider or new to jet skiing, this journey provides a rare, hands-on connection to one of Greece’s most formidable natural landmarks.
