About this experience
The best way to enjoy Stromboli, it is from the sea!
This is a private and beautiful boat tour of the vulcan with the dominant colour of the sea neon blue, which becomes lighter, greener or more turquoise depending on where you bathe.
We pass by Ginostra, the other village of Island Stromboli reachable only by boat, where you have the option to go and have a walk or just enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.
I bring you to some nice spots for swimming, snorkeling before we move towards the Sciara del Fuoco (Street of Fire).
Let's discover the natural swimming pool in Ginostra and the nice Grotta too then go and jump into the "deep blue" at the Strombolicchio!
I will be glad to share my passion and knowledge about the island and the vulcan with you.
