About this experience
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!

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 !!

Stop 2
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 not included
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
