Full description
A front-row seat for the Sciara del Fuoco spectacle, please.
This is what awaits you when you join our motorboat tour of the Aeolian Islands: you’ll set off from Milazzo and sail to Panarea and Stromboli, with stops on land to spend as you please. And you’ll also witness the spectacle of the Sciara del Fuoco.
A day-long experience that captures all the best the archipelago has to offer!
What we will do
We’ll meet at 11. 15 am at the meeting point in Milazzo (ME). Once there, we’ll meet the crew, who will welcome us aboard the motor vessel!
Once all passengers have boarded, we’ll set sail at 11. 45 am and head for our first stop: Panarea. At around 12. 45 pm, we’ll arrive at our destination and disembark for a stopover of approximately 3 hours, during which you’ll have some free time to explore the island, from Cala Junco Bay to the Church of San Pietro.
At around 4. 00 pm, we’ll set sail and cross Panarea’s ancient volcanic caldera, admiring the volcanic remains rising from the sea. At around 17: 00, we’ll arrive at Stromboli for a stopover of approximately two and a half hours, during which you’ll have free time to explore the island, from the black beaches to the panoramic square overlooking Strombolicchio.
We’ll return on board and sail at dusk beneath the spectacular sight of the Sciara del Fuoco, a natural channel down which lava flows into the sea.
We will finally return to the meeting point between approximately 9. 30 pm and 10. 30 pm. The experience lasts a total of approximately 10 hours.

The experience is suitable for everyone, with no age restrictions.
The boat is accessible to people with mobility impairments: please contact the organiser using the contact details provided in your booking confirmation email to request assistance with boarding.
