Overview
The eruptions on the volcanic island of Stromboli offer a spectacular light show that is best seen by sea after dark.

Drop anchor at a perfect viewing spot and linger to snap photos.
- A boat trip to get up close to Stromboli’s Sciara del Fuoco lava spout
- Admire the eruptions by night for a better view of the lava
- Plenty of time at sea to catch a few eruptions and snap photos

Bateau excellent et le guide était très sympathique mais peu bavard.
Il faut savoir que vous n aurez aucune explication mais que c est une expérience inoubliable lorsqu on aime l intimité et la proximité avec la nature
Mais il faut changer le descriptif de la sortie.

Merci à vous pour votre commentaire. Nous sommes heureux de votre appréciation et prenons en considération vos remarques pour l’avenir. Aussi, nous sommes ravis de répondre à toutes questions à bord, et nous considerons important de laisser la possibilité aux gens de se connecter au moment unique face au volcan… en silence

Expérience incroyable.
Nous sommes restés longtemps arrêté devant le volcan pendant que la nuit tombait et nous avons pu assister à des éruptions magnifiques !! Nous étions que 8 sur le bateau, c'était un très beau moment.
Malgré un petit contretemps au départ, on nous a répondu très rapidement par mail, donc ça a été vite réglé.
Encore merci.

Si le tour a été agréable le paiement nettement moins
189€ payé d'avance et à la finale 6,10 de frais bancaires car basé en Angleterre et non en Italie
Donc méfiance
Response from Host, May 2023
Merci Françoise pour votre feed-back!
Nous sommes contents que le tour vous ait plu.
Pour les frais bancaires, nous ne pouvons malheureusement pas gérer ce point. A l,avenir, verifiez avec le site directement ou sachez que vous pouvez aussi payer avec PayPal sans frais.

No tuvimos un barco, tuvimos un bote inflable con un pequeño motor. El chico simpático pero no hablaba inglés como nos vendieron el tour, así que no tuvimos guía.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Did you feel unsafe ?
Do you know that the inflatable boat as you described is in many ways even safer than hard boat ? They are unsinkable.
They are very stable, light and fast and comfortable.
The “pequeño motor” was just 115CV…. then powerful.
Rigid inflatable boats have the toughness and smooth ride to perform in any situation. The Marine professionals or Coast Guard use them.
What did you expect ?
Most of the tours organized on the island are on these kind of boats because they are good and perfect to go around the island.
Did you expect a Catamaran, a sailing boat … then it was another level of price!
Anyway we do include pictures on our site which show clearly our boats… it should not be a surprise.
Did you feel uncomfortable ?
You were only 3 of you on a boat homologated for 10 people.
We organized a private tour in which you could enjoy admiring the activity of vulcan from the sea for about one hour.
Grazie mille per il commento…
