What to expect

The volcanic islands of Stromboli and Panarea are the stars of the show on this full day tour. You'll explore these island beauties just off the coast of Sicily with plenty of free time to sightsee at your own pace and witness the famous active lava flow by night.

You'll set off from Milazzo harbour towards the island of Panarea, but first you'll scoot by the delightful coves at Cala Junco and Cala Zimmari where you'll gaze out over the Aeolian Islands. Once you're on dry land in Panarea, you'll have two hours to do as you wish – enjoy a swim or visit the prehistoric village of Capo Milazzese by walking or taking a taxi.

You'll then gather speed as you sail towards your next stop – Stromboli. You'll dock up in the port of Scari where for three hours you can amble around, dip into a few eateries or enjoy an aperitif as the sun sets. Then brace yourself for Mother Nature's finale as the boat takes you to catch sight of an active lava flow, the ‘Sciara del Fuoco'.
