Because of the wind in Milos, we had to alter our itinerary but still maximized the day. They served a breakfast and a lunch of traditional Greek food which was delicious. Beer, wine, waters and sodas were flowing all day! There is a bathroom onboard and goggles/snorkels and noodle floats are provided. We highly recommend making friends with your other boat guests because it made the day so much more fun. Very great value for a full day of activities!”

Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour – BBQ, Snorkeling

9.Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour – BBQ, Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 354 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $514

Spend about five hours on a private Santorini boat with Captain Makis and Elias. Fish near the volcano, snorkel in quiet coves, swim, hear island stories, and enjoy a barbecue with fresh fish when the catch allows. Equipment, snacks, and drinks are provided.

“Our fishing trip in Santorini with Pirate Captain Makis and first mate Elias was one of the absolute highlights of our entire vacation! From the moment we stepped on board, Captain Makis made us feel welcome, safe, and ready for an adventure. They are genuinely nice guys—equal parts knowledgeable fisherman and entertaining “pirate”—and kept the experience relaxed, enjoyable, and full of laughs. The fishing itself was incredible, but what made the trip truly special was the amazing meal he prepared right on the boat. He cooked the fish my husband caught along with some homemade tomato fritters, and it was honestly one of the best meals we had in Greece.…”

Milos Sailing Tour with snorkeling and lunch

14.Milos Sailing Tour with snorkeling and lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 270 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $181

Spend about eight hours sailing around Milos from Pollonia or Adamas, with stops at Kleftiko, Sykia, Fyrligos, or Gerakas. Swim, snorkel, explore caves by small boat, and enjoy Greek food, snacks, drinks, and underwater photos. Crew members may include Juliano, Vitaly, RJ, or Effi. Weather can change the route.

“This is a difficult review to leave as the overall tour is good in the sense you get to go to areas unreachable by car or foot. The issue is that this trip was not well run and missed even the most basic of needs for any boat trip. We were given a rough idea of where we were going that didn't really align to what it says on here. There was no safety briefing or guidance on what to do, given many of us never went on a yacht like this before. I don't want to fault Christo or Vasili who were great crew members but Juliano was unfortunately…”

15.Round of Milos and Poliegos Sailing boat snorkelling cruise

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 262 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $193

You’ll swim, snorkel, eat homemade Greek food, and receive free GoPro photos by email. The crew, including captains such as Andreas, Spiros, and Nick, shares stories along the way.

“food on board wasn't the best and a bit unfriendly. snorkelling equipment were incomplete and feels a little unsanitary a bit boring on the boat if doing a full day tour, as internet will be spotty. the staff will only dock the boat, so if you want to explore a cave it's at your own time and risk”
