The volcanic islands of Stromboli and Panarea are the stars of the show on this full day tour. You'll explore these island beauties just off the coast of Sicily with plenty of free time to sightsee at your own pace and witness the famous active lava flow by night.

You'll set off from Milazzo harbour towards the island of Panarea, but first you'll scoot by the delightful coves at Cala Junco and Cala Zimmari where you'll gaze out over the Aeolian Islands. Once you're on dry land in Panarea, you'll have two hours to do as you wish – enjoy a swim or visit the prehistoric village of Capo Milazzese by walking or taking a taxi.

You'll then gather speed as you sail towards your next stop – Stromboli. You'll dock up in the port of Scari where for three hours you can amble around, dip into a few eateries or enjoy an aperitif as the sun sets. Then brace yourself for Mother Nature's finale as the boat takes you to catch sight of an active lava flow, the ‘Sciara del Fuoco'.

Our guide Fabio was excellent.His recommendation of restaurant on Stromboli was very good and made our day. We could have spent slightly less time in Panerea and more time at Stromboli.

A fabulous trip finishing with a sunset eruption on Stromboli. Be prepared for a long day, we were out for 15 hours door to door, but it was really worth it. A great value well organised day. Fabio our guide was excellent

Onze gids Fabio heeft ons veel informatie iver het ontstaan van de eolische eilanden gegeven. Panarea was niet zo interessant om te zien. Stromboli was prachtig. Ik zou opteren voor een combinatie van Lipari met Stromboli. Omdat Lipari heel mooi is.

Loistava opas ja matka, kaikki toimi.

Perfect georganiseerd met een fantastische reisgids Fabio. De uitbarstingen super goed gezien. A must see !!

Kohteet olivat ainutlaatuisen upeita. Opas oli riemastuttava ja kertoi hienosti ja asiantuntevasti paikoista ja historiasta. Antonio-kuski oli todella taitava suuren bussin ratissa.
