Description
Ride with us to the Volcano on a Jet Ski! How often do you get to say that?
We start the tour at the beautiful black sand beach of Perivolos and head south-west towards the beaches of Vlyhada, Red beach, Kampia beach and the famous lighthouse of Santorini.
We then proceed to cross the Caldera and head towards the volcanoes Palea and Nea Kameni. Lastly, we visit Aspronisi, a small island in the Caldera.
Lastly, we stop for swimming and snorkelling to relax from all the riding and explore the underwater world. We swim either at Aspronisi or around Kampia beach, depending on where the weather is best. A soft drink is offered at the end of the tour.
