What to expect
Discover the Aeolian Islands with this boat trip from Lipari to Panarea and Stromboli, perfect for enjoying an unforgettable day among crystal-clear waters and volcanic landscapes.
After departing from Marina Corta in the early afternoon, you will sail along the coast of Lipari before reaching Panarea, the most glamorous of the Aeolian Islands. Along the way, you will admire the picturesque islets and rock formations of the area, such as Basiluzzo and Lisca Bianca. Once there, you will have around 2 hours of free time to explore the island, go for a swim, or relax in its charming streets.
In the late afternoon, you will continue towards Stromboli, passing by the picturesque village of Ginostra and the famous Strombolicchio islet. Here too, there will be a stop of about 2 hours, during which you can visit the village or enjoy dinner at one of the local restaurants.
At sunset, the excursion continues by boat to the Sciara del Fuoco, where, in favourable conditions, you can admire the spectacular eruptions of the volcano directly from the sea. The return to Lipari is scheduled for the evening.

Very nice team. Helpful and friendly. The tour was very good, but I'm deducting one star because we only had one side of the boat to view the volcano. Because of the number of people, it was difficult to get a good look at the erupting volcano. The boat could have easily turned around once more.

It was wonderful because in this way you see more islands in the same day, places that are undoubtedly worth it, each at different times.
