Overview

Explore the volcanic islands of Panarea and Stromboli in the UNESCO-listed Aeolian Archipelago, on a day trip from Taormina. After traveling by motorboat to each island (please note that there will be other groups on board of the motorboat), enjoy free time to swim in their crystalline waters or amble around their villages. Cruise around Stromboli to see the island’s volcano at its bombastic best. A crater called Sciara del Fuoco is easily visible from the water, so look out for its frequent jet-like eruptions lighting up the night sky! A penalty will be incurred in case of a no-show. The motorboat is equipped with bar and toilets. It is absolutely forbidden to consume takeaway food and/or drinks on board. Toilets are not accessible near the ports and therefore their use is permitted exclusively during navigation. Smoking is prohibited inside and outside our motor ships (there is an exception at the stern, in the embarkation and disembarkation area, authorized by our on-board staff).

Great fun !

Wonderful day! The boat was comfortable and the islands were beautiful to visit. We went to Stromboli and Panerea. The tour guide was very interesting and informative.

Fun day with lava!

Had a great time on the tour, getting collected from Taormina was convenient and the bus and boat rides were good. Unfortunately on our day the tour was not able to stop on Stromboli however seeing dolphins following the boat and getting to see some lava and fire fountain made up for it. Thanks!

Excellent all around, even when not accessing the lands of Stromboli

Though Stromboli was closed due to safety, this trip was phenomenal and worth the energy it sucks out of you! The start time is reasonable and the road trip to the motorboat was beautiful. The boat ride was a great experience, however I do wish I grabbed food before the boat. The boat does have good food, but I wind up only eating the boat food the whole day (minus a gelato and vino in Panerea). It is a long day, but it was all worth it! The beach is a decent walk, water shoes were my best friend and thongs could easily break due to the amount of walking and rocks. Walking a little extra to the Bay Area of the beach was again worth it, but not easy. Very little shade in all parts as well, I was lucky to have brought my light floaty because the rocks are uncomfortable and hot! The ferry home was a mixture of party vibes & exhaustion but it was great!

Fun time

This was an amazing trip. Thomas our guide was so friendly and amazing and funny. He made the trip so relaxing. Thomas was a little late in the beginning, but the app provides away to communicate with them through WhatsApp. Because they are traveling to many different hotels, it’s understandable why they are not always on time for pick up. Be patient is my first piece of advice. Wear shoes that you don’t care if they get dirty. I advise sneakers. It was a long day so get a good nights sleep the day before. Enjoy!
