About this experience
With this boat ride to Vulcano we will let you admire this fantastic island from the sea, together with the smaller Vulcanello and then disembark at the port of Vulcano and give yourself some free time to explore it.
You will circumnavigate Vulcano and the Vulcanello peninsula, where you will admire the Grotta degli Angeli and the Faraglioni before docking at the Porto di Levante and visiting it independently.
The island of Vulcano offers several places to visit, like the thermal mud and the beach with warm sulphurous waters, where you can take a relaxing bath.
You can also visit the black beach, another of the most particular places on Vulcano. In the village, however, you will have a wide choice of typical restaurants and small shops of all kinds for a regenerating break.
From the port you can also decide to climb - independentely- Vulcano to the top of the Gran Cratere.
