The Deets - Panarea & Stromboli Cruise ⛴️ (Day 4)
Included during the tour : Skipper, private boat, fuel, water, fresh fruit, biscuits with local Malvasia wine
Here’s our Panarea e Stromboli itinerary :
Our adventure will begin as we set sail towards the enchanting island of Panarea. After about 45 minutes, we will arrive at Cala Junco, a stunning natural pool hidden among the rocks, with turquoise and crystal-clear waters – a hidden gem protected by the FAI (Italian Environmental Fund). Here, we’ll enjoy our first swim in a dreamlike setting.
Back on board, we will head to the picturesque port of San Pietro on Panarea, where you’ll have about 2 hours of free time to explore the charming village, soak in the island’s unique atmosphere, or have lunch at one of the local restaurants (lunch not included).
Once back on the boat, we’ll begin a scenic tour of Panarea’s magical islets by sea. We’ll pass by Bottaro, famous for its fascinating underwater fumaroles, and Lisca Bianca, home to the romantic Lovers' Cave (Grotta degli Innamorati), steeped in legends and beauty. We’ll continue past other nearby islets, where we’ll make two more stops for swimming in the archipelago’s crystal-clear waters – perfect for a refreshing dip or snorkeling.
Next, we’ll set sail for majestic Stromboli, reaching it after about 50 minutes. From the boat, you’ll admire the striking silhouette of this active volcanic island before enjoying another swim in its dark and evocative waters.
We’ll then dock at the port of Scari, where you’ll have around 2 hours to explore the island on foot, relax on its iconic black sand beaches, or have dinner at a local restaurant (dinner not included).
At sunset, we’ll head back to sea and sail toward Strombolicchio and the Sciara del Fuoco, where we’ll witness the spectacular eruptions of Stromboli: smoke and streams of lava lighting up the night sky.
Finally, we’ll return to the Vulcano pier around 10:30 PM, after a magical day.
The Deets - Vulcano Island Snorkelling Cruise ⛴️ (Day 5)
Included during the tour : Skipper, private boat, fuel, water, fresh fruit, biscuits with local Malvasia wine
Here's our Vulcano itinerary:
Once we begin our voyage, we'll sail along the southern coast of Lipari, where you can admire two rocks in the middle of the sea: the Faraglioni of Lipari, Pietra Lunga and Pietra Menalda, classified as volcanic rocks. Continuing our voyage, accompanied by a tasty selection of fresh fruit, we'll head to Cala Formaggio for a swim.
After the stop, we'll head to Grotta del Cavallo, where at the entrance you can also admire the beautiful Piscina di Venere. Here we'll stop for a second swim.
We'll return on board and head to the small fishing village of Gelso, dominated by a charming lighthouse. Here we'll stop at Asino Beach, where you can have lunch at the Asino Beach restaurant and take a dip in the sea.
Once we're back on the water, we'll head toward the port of Levante, where we'll stop for about two hours to visit Vulcano's thermal lake, known as "La Pozza dei Fanghi" (The Mud Pool), the Acque Calde beach, known for its boiling water caused by gas emissions from the seabed, and finally, a stop at Sabbie Nere (Black Sands), where you'll find fine sand and very shallow waters.
During the day, we'll also make a stop for a swim at Praia Ferrante and to enjoy sesame biscuits with local Malvasia wine.
