Aeolian Islands (Isole Eolie) Tours and Activities

Discover the Aeolian Archipelago on this day trip to the islands of Stromboli and Panarea from Taormina. Journey to each island by motorboat, exploring the local shops at your leisure or taking a cool dip in the sea. Afterward, cruise around Stromboli to see the island’s volcano. Keep your eyes peeled for the crater of Sciara del Fuoco, known to light up the sky with its jet-like eruptions. After a full day of touring the UNESCO-listed islands, return to Taormina.

Your guided hiking adventure will start from our Info Point Ashàra located in Piazza San Vincenzo Departure scheduled about 2 hours before sunset to admire the spectacular beauty along the side of the Sciara del Fuoco. After a short briefing, the excursion will begin which will lead us up to the maximum altitude of 400m During the first 2 hours of trekking we will make 2 or 3 intermediate breaks to enjoy the view and immortalize the natural beauty of this wonderful landscape. On our way we will meet and visit the old island cemetery and cross the typical Mediterranean scrub. Once we reach the Sciara del Fuoco, we will stop to admire a magnificent sunset over the Aeolian archipelago and the spectacular “Strombolian” activity typical of the volcano. We will then return to the starting point through the typical Strombolian reeds and the old mule track.

We will board onto our speed boat to the Sciara from where you will enjoy the beautiful eruptions of Stromboli. That’s always an amazing experience ! 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!

The excursion to 300m allows us to get closer to the active craters of the Stromboli volcano. The observation point where we will stop for an hour is 400m as the crow flies from the craters. We have an average of 300 explosions a day and the spectacle after sunset is unique in the world

Stromboli is known for its spectacular volcanic eruptions, but these fiery outbursts are best seen from the sea. With this speedboat tour, cruise from Scari to the pretty village of Ginostra, where you’ll dock for a sunset aperitif. Afterwards, continue on to Sciara del Fuoco to marvel at the stream of incandescent lava that flows down the volcano’s slopes and explodes into dramatic clouds of steam where it reaches the water.
