Our little motor boat had a shade cover which was great on a hot September day. Alex our skipper kept in touch with where to meet etc. He gave us an overview of the day but said we could change things or have our own agenda! The 4 of us had the boat to ourselves and after a great first hour speeding across the waves we arrived at Panera for our first swim. Lovely clear water with snorkels supplied. Them Alex popped open our first bottle Of Prosecco…. An unexpected treat to clear the salty water from our throats. Then a walk and lunch at Panera before off to a tiny island where we anchored. Here Alex explained that we could swim through vol panic gas bubbles released from the seabed. An unforgettable experience! On to Stromboli for a walk and drink before the main event. As the sun set we started to see clouds of smoke, red ash and small amounts of lava. We sat for about an hour and watched small spurts whilst drinking Prosecco and eating focaccia, cheese and ham nibbles. Again a lovely treat. Then the 2 hour + ride back. An absolutely amazing, full and tiring day!
Very nice trip, you reach places that can only be seen by boat and the captain was very nice and engaging.
Great Skipper and Snorkelguide. They are very funny.
