Full description
To those who ask "What are you doing tonight?", answer: "Watching theStromboli eruption over the sea!"
Experience this unforgettable moment with a motorboat tour from Vibo Marina and spend awhole day discovering the islands of Panarea and Stromboli.
If you have always dreamed of visiting the Aeolian Islands, all you have to do is get on board!
What we will do
Please arrive 15 minutes before 9. 00 am at the meeting point in Vibo Marina.
Once we have boarded the motorboat, at around 9. 20 am, we will set sail along the coast of Vibo Marina, Tropea and Capo Vaticano, one of the most scenic areas in Calabria.
On board, the guide will give us some tips on how best to organise our stops on the Aeolian Islands, which we will be free to explore once we’ve disembarked.
At around 12. 45 pm, we’ll arrive on the island of Panarea, where we’ll stay until 3. 30 pm. During our free time on land, we’ll be able to go for a swim at the local beaches – which we’ll reach by the traditional water taxis – visit the prehistoric village of Capo Milazzese, or explore the village on foot and sample some Aeolian specialities.
After leaving Panarea, we’ll arrive in Stromboli at around 4. 00 pm and stay there until 7. 00 pm. We can make the most of our time here by taking a stroll along the black-sand beach, having a swim in the cobalt-blue sea, or buying some local specialities to take home with us.
After returning on board, we’ll sail towards the Sciara del Fuoco and stop for 20 minutes to admire the night-time eruption of the active volcano from our boat. This stop will be the spectacular finale to our tour, before we begin our return journey.
We are due to return to Vibo Marina at around 11. 30 pm, making the total duration of the trip approximately 14 hours.
