A bit salty but a great way to cool down after the hike up the Volcano. Next you have an amazing dinner in the cool breeze, with a great view of the surrounding islands and other boats.

“The caldera cruise was very good. Collection and drop off is good too. The guide is welcoming. There's a welcome wine drink when you aboard, taste good. The food served is good too as we're not picky. By the way, refreshments are not included, you have to buy it there and they prefer cash or card, I saw a few paying by card. Cruise in the month of October is relaxing maybe because there's a small number of people on the boat that time. I brought my cardigan but it's not that cold when the sun sets, just nice and fresh. And you get a good view of the sunset…”
