★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 591 reviews · 10 hours - 690 minutes · from $199

See Oia and Fira on a full-day Santorini trip from Crete with ferry tickets, transfers, local guides, and an optional volcano cruise.

“We had a great day out and the trip is exceptionally organised. Both of our transfers to and from heraklion were early and easy to find. We did get to the port over 1 hour before the ferry in the morning but assume this is incase of traffic. Take a coffee as nothing open at 6:45am! The ferry itself was fine, and again transport at Santorini was easy to find. Tour guide was knowledgeable and happy to help. Santorini is beautiful and could have spent a few more hours as it’s a long day travelling for less than 2 hours in each town, but there is only 1 ferry home…”

Crete: Santorini Day Trip with Fast Ferry Cruise

9.Santorini Day Trip with Fast Ferry Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 365 reviews · 11 - 12 hours · from $199

Review of the Crete to Santorini fast ferry day trip, with Oia and Fira visits, timing, costs, transport tips, and who should book.

“The tour was good overall. Santorini is super popular, and the views on the way to Oía are stunning. The town is packed with shops, and every corner is perfect for photos. Fira isn't really worth exploring, unless you're interested in visiting the volcano or grabbing a bite to eat at one of the restaurants – which tend to be a bit pricey. Our guide recommended one restaurant in particular, but I'd suggest taking a stroll around the center and seeing what catches your eye before deciding where to eat.”

Review of the Miami to Bimini or Grand Bahama ferry day trip, with timings, costs, passport rules, island options, and practical tips.

“I wouldn't know about the activity because the ferry was cancelled. I arrived at the Ft. L port and no one was there. I called the number and it went straight to voicemail where I was told to send an email, which I did and also left a voicemail to call me back ASAP. A security guard told us that the ferry was leaving from the Port of Miami so we went there. After we confirmed the ferry was not leaving from the Port of Miami with the local personnel, I received a text showing an email from 3 Feb stating the ferry was cancelled. I never received the email…”

Tarifa: Day trip to Tangier by ferry with lunch and tour guide

13.Day trip to Tangier by ferry with lunch and tour guide

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 140 reviews · 9 hours · from $105

Review of Tarifa to Tangier day trip by ferry, with lunch, guided sights, Medina time, practical costs, timing, and visa tips.

“The guide was friendly and funny. We were a bit surprised by the change of itinerary, we didn’t see the caves, nor the lighthouse which were one of the main reasons to book. The change was caused by the ferry schedule, the 19:00 return ferry was out for repairs so the entire visit was shortened in order to catch the 17:00. Other than that, good option to get an ideea on the city vibe. Lunch restaurant was lovely and they even cooked separately for me, which I highly appreciated.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 130 reviews · from $96

Review of the Ischia day trip from Naples, with ferry tickets, lunch, free time, Sant’Angelo, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“Ischia was amazing and worth a trip and taking a taxi to Sant Angelo was the best part. The lunch was a disappointment. It’s was like an Italian version of Faulty Towers. The starter and main course was tasty but dessert a joke with the choice between a children’s ice cream or two plums. With so many restaurants with amazing locations and views it was a shame to have to sit indoors with a view to a shabby backyard. We would have preferred that the day trip was ferry tickets and taxi round the island and found our own lunch”
