Take a peaceful mini-cruise to explore two of the most famous Aeolian Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000, with the support of a multilingual tour guide. The island of Panarea is very famous for its fine architecture and the attendance of the international jet-set, while Stromboli is dominated by a perpetually active volcano. Visit the Calajunco Bay and the small Zimmari Beach.

Enjoy leisure time ashore to visit a typical village, to enjoy the beach and to have lunch in a local restaurant. Transfer by motorboat to Stromboli and dock for a tour of the island until sunset.

Then you'll return on board. From the sea, visit the 'Sciara del Fuoco' with its spectacular explosions (weather/sea conditions permitting).

Very well organised trip. Good guide, excellent boat, not too overcrowded and stops at Panerea and Stromboli were fab. Plenty of bars restaurants and beaches to visit. Not at all rushed. Highlight was seeing Stromboli erupting in the evening and the beautiful Mediterranean sunset. Highly recommend this trip when visiting Sicily. Lifetime experience.

Es war ein unvergessliches und beeindruckendes Erlebnis.

Die Tour war gut organisiert! ?? Viele Infos über die Inseln bekommen. ?? Es war ein gelungener Tag! ?? Tolles Wetter und der Stromboli zeigte sich von seiner besten Seite! ?? Vielen Dank an Tourguide Sandra und Fahrer Sandro! ??

Die Reise war gut organisiert. Auf Panarea wäre eine halbe Stunde mehr Zeit schöner gewesen. Insgesamt war es aber ein schöner Ausflug.

Es war sehr gut organisiert und die Reiseleiterin sehr freundlich und konnte alle Fragen in 3 Sprachen beantworten.
