5.00Absolutely amazing trip up to 400 metres to see the mini eruptions. The guide took an appropriate route which suited all abilities of the group. Medium route taken up and an easy route back down to the starting point. I waited years to see this volcano but thoroughly enjoyed it and was not disappointed
Amazing experience

5.00There was a great view over the island and the neighbouring strombolicchio. The guide was very sympathetic and what he told us rather interesting. The highlight was seeing the eruptions of the stromboli in the nightsky.
Great hike with a very knowledgeable guide!

5.00Ashara coms highly recommend! If you choose them make sure to ask for the older Giuseppe as your guide. Remember to start the hike by asking Giuseppe what's his favorite volcano. You will the get the best roller coaster of a hike ending with Giuseppe live commenting the flaming volcano! 11/10 hike, education program, Rollercoaster vulcano ride! Have fun!! :)
Lava is cool!

5.00The track up and down was moderate. Well worth it to see the spectacular bursts of lava at night. The guide was very informative with interesting facts.
