Motorboat tour to Vulcano, Panarea and Stromboli

Treat yourself to an unforgettable day sailing in the crystal-clear waters of the Aeolian Islands and exploring the islands of Vulcano, Panarea and Stromboli on your own.

Our boat excursion will make you forget the stresses of everyday life and let you discover the villages, coves and all the most beautiful places in the Aeolian archipelago, as well as watch the spectacular eruptions of Stromboli at sunset.

What we will do

We will meet at the Port of Milazzo and then depart for Vulcano. On the way we will skirt Cape Milazzo, on which stands the largest fortified citadel in Sicily, the Castle of Milazzo.

Arriving at the port of Vulcano, we will stop for about 2½ hours to explore the island on our own. Here we will have the choice of visiting the Thermal Pool and enjoying a true natural wellness treatment, thanks to its mud and waters with a very high concentration of sulphur, or sunbathing in the Baia delle Sabbie Nere, famous for its dark sand of volcanic origin and its crystal-clear waters, or climbing the Gran Cratere on a nature trail amidst broom and volcanic rocks.

We will then depart for Panarea, the most exclusive of the Aeolian archipelago. Here, too, we will have about two hours to visit the island, have lunch in one of the typical restaurants in the centre (not included) or relax on the small beach of Cala Zimmari or the Bay of Cala Junco. Afterwards, we will set sail again to head towards Stromboli, passing by Ginostra, a characteristic village that can only be reached by sea.

Once we reach the port of Stromboli Scari, we will stay on the island for about 2½ hours until sunset. We can visit the Church of San Bartolomeo, the Church of San Vincenzo or the numerous black beaches present, such as the Forgia Vecchia beach or the Ficogrande beach, ideal for families. The more fearless may also decide to climb the Stromboli up to the observatory, 400 metres above sea level, and admire the breathtaking panorama.

The return trip will be an exciting spectacle under the Sciara del Fuoco, where you can watch the lava flows of the still active volcano.

The scheduled return time to the Port of Milazzo is 10.30 pm.
