Full description
Get ready to set sail for paradise! Let the wind blow and discover the Aeolian Islands from a unique perspective.
On this 8-hour excursion on board a beautiful schooner, you will sail through sea stories and wilderness guided by an experienced skipper .
You will explore stops that will leave you open-mouthed, such as the Faraglioni of Lipari and the Grotta del Cavallo, enjoying a whole day of relaxation enriched by a typical lunch and aperitif!
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Vulcano (ME) . Here we will meet the skipper who will accompany us during this day's sailing among the wonders of the Aeolian Islands.
After boarding the boat, we will start sailing along the coasts of Vulcano and Lipari, alternating moments of relaxation with bathing stops in the archipelago's most picturesque bays. In the morning we will visit the Faraglioni of Lipari, the Grotta del Cavallo di Vulcano and the beautiful Cala Mastro Minico. In the afternoon we will reach other iconic places such as Praia di Vinci and Valle Muria, where we will snorkel and swim surrounded by volcanic seabed, Mediterranean fish and spectacular natural views.
During the tour there are about five 30-40 minute swim stops in clear waters and sheltered coves. Between one stop and the next we will relax lulled by the wind and the sea, enjoying the panorama of the Aeolian coastline directly from the sailboat. Lunch and an aperitif will be served on board, with products such as cheese, vegetables, cous cous, meatballs, cold meats and snacks accompanied by water and fresh white wine.
We will return to the starting point in the late afternoon. The experience will last a total of 8 hours.
