Full description
Did you know that you can reach the Aeolian Islands in just over an hour by boat from the Costa degli Dei?
Move your Calabrian holiday with our dinghy excursion to Panarea and Stromboli. In just one day, you will visit Panarea, dive into the waters of the deserted island of Basiluzzo , and stop in front of the Sciara del Fuoco at Stromboli.
And don't forget to bring your camera, because if you look closely in the waves you will spot cute dolphins!
What we will do
Departure is at 9 a.m. from the port of Ricadi (arrive at least 30 minutes in advance). Once all participants are seated on board the spacious dinghy, we will start sailing in the direction of Panarea, the most fashionable island of the Aeolian Islands.
We will arrive in Panarea after about 1 hour and 20 minutes of sailing and head straight for the Grotta degli Innamorati, where we will have the opportunity to take our first souvenir photo of the day. We will then go ashore to visit the island and stay there for about an hour and a half.
Once back on board, we will make our first swimming stop at the islet of Dattilo, a promontory in the middle of the sea with a real natural pool. The seabed here is wonderful and it is really worth putting on the snorkelling mask (included).
After Dattilo, an uninhabited islet awaits us: Basiluzzo. We will get off the boat and find ourselves in a very quiet place, where we can have our packed lunch (not included and to be brought from home).
The second part of the day will be dedicated to Stromboli. Once we reach the island, we will stop to admire the famous Sciara del Fuoco from the dinghy. We will then head towards Strombolicchio, where we will have another unforgettable swim stop of varying duration (15-30 minutes).
Finally, we will reverse course for the return trip, during which, with a bit of luck, we will be able to admire stenella dolphins as they frolic in the waves caused by the dinghy.
The activity lasts a total of 8 hours and ends with the return to the port of departure.
