The last 30 minutes of the cruise by the large rocks off the shore of Vulcano was wonderful and helped to make up for the wasted 3 hours at the beach. Lipari was nice and enjoyable. A bit too short. Would have much preferred to skip Vulcano, extend Lipari and keep scenic part of cruise.
A great day in the Aolian islands

Lipari very nice , the bus tour on Volcano 🌋 was great , the boat tour afterwards also very cool. A long great day.
Lipari great, Vulcano interesting
HelenLouiseO, Sep 2019
Really nice guide. Lipari is great, beautiful town, amazing church. Vulcano is different and the mud pool interesting, but a bit too long on Vulcano. Bus trip is 1+ hours but scenery is very interesting and varied. Overall, a good day. Boat was too crowded.

It's a little misleading to say this trip is from Cefalu when the boat leaves from Milazzo, 1.5 hours away on a coach meaning you have to leave really early in the morning. There is a tour from Cefalu where the boat leaves from Cefalu itself and had we known that this was from Milazzo we would have booked that one. Lipari is quite nice, but Vulcano is a bit boring.
