We will board onto our speed boat to the Sciara from where you will enjoy the beautiful eruptions of Stromboli.

We are up to 10 people on the boat and no more so you can find yourself comfortable with social distance between each other.

Stromboli is not only one of the many beautiful islands of the Mediterranea Sea, but it is the only one where volcanic activity takes place unceasingly in front of our very eyes, and where the visitor can see the explosions so it makes sense that the best way to enjoy it is from the sea!

That’s always an amazing experience !

What To Expect

Stromboli Volcano

We go to the Sciara del Fuoco to admire the activity of the vulcan. Wait for the explosions from Iddu - this is how we call the vulcan -, admire the sunset and all the stars around us. The vulcan from the sea is always a unique experience !

Punctuality and courtesy. IT IS...

Punctuality and courtesy. It was truly a unique experience in its kind. We could not see the lava flow, but there were some spectacular pyroclastic explosions.
Beautiful show

Good but not really suitable for someone with a cane!
A beautiful experience, with a volcano clearly visible.

An excellent experience, with a great view of the volcano and stunning sea. The only downside was that there were a few more people than expected, but this did not diminish the view.
Unorganised and not a ‘tour’

The volcano views were amazing but I would go with a different tour operator. They are very unorganised, the ‘guide’ doesn’t speak a word of english and just operates the boat but it’s not really a ‘tour’, and when I complained to the tour operator he was very rude
Great experience but not guided

It was a very nice experience to see this lava and stromboli explosions from the sea at sunset. Unforgettable! The best photos are to be taken when the night is not yet settled. This release is not guided so no comments. The only word heard from the guide was when we stopped to pick up other people in Ginostra...the word was: "Ginostra". Then nothing. A little pity for people who do not know the site. Departure on time, return 30 minutes before the scheduled time... Sufficient time in front of the volcano. Have a good day.
Just a boat tour

We booked the activity in French....expecting some interactions and explanations on the volcano, previous eruptions, life on the island.....anything really. We got an email the night before, suggesting we meet earlier for a drink: we did meet earlier, got on the boat with 2 other couples. We got to Ginostra where we were told to come back in 1 hour. We figured we had to find a place ourselves to have a drink. We only found a very pricy place (30€ for 2 aperol spritz, 20 olives and a few slices of ham). Then back on the boat where we saw a few very nice eruptions. The boat was fast and Pasquale is an excellent driver. There were no communications/explana and we felt like we were being transported like goods. If you cannot do the hike, you might consider the boat tour...shop around but refuse the drinks if you choose this one!!

Great boat trip for viewing vulcano at sunset. Everything went as planned and vulcano cooperated and gave us a show.
The tour lasted only one...

The tour lasted only an hour instead of an hour and a half. And a shame because it is subsequently that the explosions take place.
A truly wonderful experience

Open RIB excursion across the night time sea. No photo can do justice to the sight and sound of the island volcano's fiery eruptions beneath the starry Mediterranean sky. A powerful and beautiful experience unlike any other. Several boat trips are available - I recommend this open RIB over the larger more enclosed boats.
Felt Like an Uber Ride, Not a Tour

They‘ll pick you up by boat at the port in Stromboli and drive you to the other side of the volcano for a better view. The volcano and it‘s eruptions were fantastic! Highly recommend doing one of these boat tours but if you expect any kind of explanation or a guided tour you should probably pick someone else. We got 0 explanations about the volcano or the tour itself, it was more like an silent uber ride to the volcano and back. However the driving (especially on the way back) was rather rough and the boat rather on the (very) small side.
