Visit the glamourous island of Panarea
Admire Stromboli's volcano exploding by night
Boat trip to see the active lava flow, Sciara del Fuoco

What to expect

The volcanic islands of Stromboli and Panarea are the stars of the show on this full day tour. You'll explore these island beauties just off the coast of Sicily with plenty of free time to sightsee at your own pace and witness the famous active lava flow by night.

You'll set off from Milazzo harbour towards the island of Panarea, but first you'll scoot by the delightful coves at Cala Junco and Cala Zimmari where you'll gaze out over the Aeolian Islands. Once you're on dry land in Panarea, you'll have two hours to do as you wish – enjoy a swim or visit the prehistoric village of Capo Milazzese by walking or taking a taxi.

You'll then gather speed as you sail towards your next stop – Stromboli. You'll dock up in the port of Scari where for three hours you can amble around, dip into a few eateries or enjoy an aperitif as the sun sets. Then brace yourself for Mother Nature's finale as the boat takes you to catch sight of an active lava flow, the ‘Sciara del Fuoco'.

Our guide Fabio was excellent.His recommendation of restaurant on Stromboli was very good and made our day. We could have spent slightly less time in Panerea and more time at Stromboli.

Amazing and beautiful trip to the islands and volcano north of sicily. Highly recommend to everyone going especially if you want to se lava exploding out of an active volcano. We went on our third excursion with Fabio on this one and he is by far the best guide i've had in any country i've visited when doing similar excursions. Very informative guide who has extra information on everything and goes above and beyond to make your trip the best possible experience!

A very long day but worth it. The tour guide Fabio was amazing. He shared lots of interesting facts during the coach journey and was very attentive towards those in his party. The boat trip was great and there was lots of useful information provided by Fabio including advice on some of the restaurants to eat in. We witnessed some of the lava flow at Stromboli and the boat trip back was good fun. I would definately recommend this trip although it is a very long day, it was good fun.

Mount Etna guided sunset tour with Sicilian dinner

Excursions & day trips

Mount Etna guided sunset tour with Sicilian dinner

Watching the sky light up with shades of orange and then burn out into darkness while standing atop a volcano is a special sensation. This drama-rich tour takes you to Mount Etna – a must-visit when in Sicily. You'll head to an altitude of almost 3,000 metres to catch the sunset and then relax over a traditional meal to round off your adventure. You'll go by minibus to Etna, then, as the terrain becomes rockier, you'll switch to a 4x4 vehicle. As you make your way to 2,900m above sea level – the highest point that's safely reachable – there'll be stops to take in the harsh, lunar landscape and the lava-smothered flanks of this towering mountain. Make sure you're wearing comfortable walking shoes and warm layers – it gets cold at high altitude. After admiring the views from near the summit, an expert alpine guide will take you to a less exposed 2,500m, where you'll watch the sunset in a more comfortable location. Then on the way back, you'll stop at a chalet restaurant for a typical Sicilian dinner.
