Full description
Spend a day of sport and nature on Vulcano. You will have the opportunity to climb the Gran Crater in the company of an expert volcanological guide and admire the island's beauty from the privileged perspective of the sea.
Treat yourself to an unforgettable tour to discover a Mediterranean jewel that will leave you speechless with its colours, hidden coves and characteristic volcanic phenomena.
What we will do
The meeting point is at 9.00 a.m. in front of the Faraglioni bar in Vulcano Porto (ME), where we will meet the expert volcanological guide who will accompany us on the climb up Vulcano's large crater, also known as the 'Vulcano Pit'.
The climb consists of a pleasant walk of about 50 to 60 minutes on a path surrounded by nature, among broom, volcanic boulders and a black, sandy bottom composed mainly of volcanic dust.
Once you reach the top of the volcano, there will be a short 15 to 20-minute stop to admire the breathtaking panorama. Indeed, from the summit of the Gran Cratere it is possible to admire all seven islands of the Aeolian Archipelago, the northern coast of Sicily and Mount Etna in the distance.
After the return walk, we will have the opportunity to independently visit the Sulphurous Muds, the Black Sand beach, or the centre of the island.
We will also make a short stop for lunch with one of the island's specialities, Pani Cunzatu (included).
At 14.00 we will set sail from Vulcano harbour to explore the island from the sea. On the way, it will be possible to admire the island's beautiful coastline, inlets and hidden coves, as well as take a few dives from the boat, at the captain's discretion.
For those who are interested, there is also the possibility of doing just the Trekking on the Gran Cratere or the Boat Tour.
