Sciara del Fuoco from the sea with an aperitivo to Ginostra, boat tour
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
After boarding onto our speedboat I will take you onto a beautiful tour of the vulcan.
We will first go to Ginostra then I will bring you to the Sciara del Fuoco.
We are up to 10 people on the boat and no more so you can find yourself comfortable with social distance between each other.
You will enjoy the combination of beautiful eruptions of Stromboli, a fantastic view on an amazing sunset and the option of good food and drinks!!
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!

What To Expect
Ginostra
We will first go to Ginostra, a small village from where you can enjoy a wonderful sunset ! The village is reachable only by the sea. Within that break you can take the opportunity to have a drink paired with some small amounts of local Sicilian products (cheese, olives, tipical ham and sausages..) and just take your own time with a view on the sea admiring the sunset before I would bring you to the Sciara del Fuoco !!
Stromboli Volcano
After a beautiful break in Ginostra, let's move towards the Sciara del Fuoco to admire the amazing stream of fire from the Stromboli. a steep and large wall of volcanic sand where most of the eruptive products are poured: large incandescent rocks rolling downhill, creating dense and spectacular plumes of steam when entering in contact with the blue sea of Stromboli.
What‘s Included
Small group on board so people feel comfortable to enjoy the tour
Take a cash - Drinks and foods are not included in the price. The aperitivo takes place on the main "piazza" in Ginostra where you will find a nice bar offering a large choice of local drinks and food

Very badly managed by Pasqualo who blamed the organization from Spain

3.00We were supposed to be at 4.30pm on the pier so we did not ascend to the volcano Observatory. There we received a message informing of delay at 4.45 pm (the coordinator and the Zodiac, punctual as we). Then the coordinator informed us of 10 min delay for waiting for 2 pp. At the end, we leave at 5.40pm. I mean, more than 1h waiting!!! If we had been summoned at 5.30pm, we would have gone up to the Observatory

5.00Wonderful boat tour, both for timing and quality of the offer offered at a great price. Of particular note is Pasquale's willingness to meet us and favor the boat trip to my friend with a motor disability, he has worked to ensure that he can climb with all the tranquility and support of his and his men. Lovely!

3.00When realized we had no start time and minimal info on guide we had to contact victor for info. As the forecast for our day was poor the operator asked us to come back in an hour to see about that evening’s tour. When we came back acted as if they didn’t know us and again told us to come back in an hour. We were then put on the shorter tour with no offer on compensation. The volcano show was good, the tour operator not so much
An unforgettable experience with Pasqualo

5.00We took the boat tour around Sciara with Pasqualo and it was really a top experience, absolutely to do in Stromboli. The kindness and seriousness of Service are immediately perceived, and make it even more pleasant and safe. The moment in front of the eruption is unique: seeing the volcano from the sea, with its grandeur and the magic of the landscape, remains imprinted forever. Unfortunately we did not see the sciara but the puffs of the volcano. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to experience Stromboli in an authentic and special way.
Wonderful experience

5.00Ginostra, a small town far from the world, reachable only by sea, is able to give a beautiful sunset and a superb view of all the Aeolian islands, while enjoying a delicious aperitif composed of typical Sicilian products. All this was possible thanks to the perfect is safe organization of the means and tour of Pasqualo, everything ended under the Sciara del fuoco, by sea, which gave us a wonderful show of fire and lapilli, satisfied, we headed back. If you are in Stromboli do not miss this experience for any reason in the world, it is worth the whole holiday! Turn to Pasqualo!

3.00The grade is 3 divided between 2 factors: - vote 5 as the explosions are continuous and beautiful, the aperitif is in a very nice place (even if the saucer is a bit ridiculous) - vote 1 because legally they could not bring people in front of the sciara of the fire, by law you should stay at 2 nautical miles (about 4km scarce) but obviously approach a few hundred meters to allow optimal vision. Long live the legality
Super experience!

5.00Boat ride with my daughter around Stromboli with Pasqualo – very good and super safe driving. Long stop in front of the Sciara del Fuoco at sunset ... and BOOM, spectacular eruptions! 🔥 Aperitif in Ginostra sea view: pure magic. And a special thanks to Cristina, who sells the tickets – very kind and sweet! 💛

4.00The boat trip was in 2 parts, first part to Ginostra was lovely. However, we were droppen at Ginostra with no explanation on what we had to do. We figuren in out in the end, but still. We had to stay there for about 1,5hours which was too long. Initial pick-up could have been done later, to avoid this long wait. O well. Met a lovely Argentinian couple and had a lovely chat with them. Part 2 of the board trip started when the sun set and we went to an awesome view point! It was just all amazing, the erupties, the sounder, the whole thing was just so wonderful!!! Loved it!!
We loved this tour....

5.00We loved this tour. Pasquale first took us to Ginostra where we could enjoy some drinks and a beautiful sunset, then we watched the volcano from the water and were lucky to see several spectacular eruptions. Pasquale was competent and nice, he did his best to give us a great experience.
