Highlights
  • Ginostra - We will first go to Ginostra, a small village from where you can enjoy a wonderful sunset !
    The village is reachable only by the sea.
    Within that break you can take the opportunity to have a drink paired with some small amounts of local Sicilian products (cheese, olives, tipical ham and sausages..) and just take your own time with a view on the sea admiring the sunset before I would bring you to the Sciara del Fuoco !!
  • Stromboli Volcano - After a beautiful break in Ginostra, let’s move towards the Sciara del Fuoco to admire the amazing stream of fire from the Stromboli.
    a steep and large wall of volcanic sand where most of the eruptive products are poured: large incandescent rocks rolling downhill, creating dense and spectacular plumes of steam when entering in contact with the blue sea of Stromboli.
What's Included
  • Small group for a comfortable experience
What's Not Included
  • Take a cash - Drinks and foods are not included in the price. The aperitivo takes place on the main “piazza” in Ginostra where you will find a nice bar offering a large choice of local drinks and food
Additional Information

After boarding our speedboat, I’ll guide you on a stunning tour of the volcano. Our first stop will be Ginostra, followed by a visit to the Sciara del Fuoco.

The boat accommodates up to 10 people, ensuring you can maintain a comfortable social distance.

You’ll marvel at the spectacular eruptions of Stromboli, enjoy a breathtaking sunset, and have the option to savor delicious food and drinks!

Fantastic evening trip to Ginostra and Sciara del Fuoco - We took the trip to Ginostra and the Sciara del Fuoco with Pasqualo, which was a great experience. I have done this trip before with another company and much preferred this one for a few reasons. Firstly, the route taken went right round the island so we saw much more of Stromboli than I had previously, and secondly we were a small group which made it very comfortable. Ginostra is magical and having a drink at L'incontro (up the hill on the right) watching the sun go down over the other islands was wonderful. Bear in mind this isn't included in the cost of the trip, as seems standard. Pasquale's son captained the boat and was very friendly. Thanks for a great evening!

Magical evening around Stromboli - Many thanks to Celine and Pasquale for taking us on a magical trip, despite our very last minute request! Watching the sun set from Ginostra before setting out for the volcano was enchanting - while Stromboli was not as accommodating in its fireworks as we had hoped, the tour was perfect for us (adult + two 13-year-olds)

Great Captain Pasqualo and Perfect trip ! - Captain "Pasqualo" was great ! Everything was perfect ! I really enjoyed the sunset, the boat trip by night and also the boat was in really good condition with few people on board which was a luxury if I compare to other offers on the island!

Beautiful evening - It was a beautiful and unique experience! The stop in Ginostra was fantastic . We loved the “aperitivo” and the view. Well the vulcano was very quiet but it was a nice atmosphere and Pasquale was friendly and made us feel safe!

Magic of the volcano and aperitif at sunset. - Nice boat experience where you can see the magic of the volcano. The possibility of visiting Ginostra and having an aperitif there. It’s a shame, however, that the guide didn’t speak a word of French and very little English.

Beautiful but... - Pasquale came to say hello and then left without accompanying us. You will be accompanied by a young man who speaks Italian. So you pay €65 just for the boat trip! The outing: A first stop at Ginostra to tour the village, have an aperitif at your own expense if you wish, watch the sunset then take the Zodiac boat to witness the eruptions of Stromboli for a little over 30 minutes.

Msn feels a bit ripped off - We spent several days on Stromboli and walked to the volcano several times ourselves and were able to watch some amazing eruptions. Just to give you some information in advance. The tour we had actually booked (via Ginostra) had to be cancelled due to the waves being too high. We were reimbursed the difference for the smaller tour. The trip is as follows: In a small group (there were seven of us in total), we travel in an inflatable speedboat to the back of the volcano (the so-called Sciara del Fuoco). There, the engine is turned off and you sit in the boat between the waves (for around an hour) and wait for the volcanic activity. So if you get seasick easily: DO NOT BOOK! It won't be pleasant. Unfortunately, we didn't see anything except a red cloud. So it was very (!) boring. The "guide" (he actually just drives the boat) doesn't talk. In other words, nothing is explained or said about the volcano or anything like that - I found that a bit disappointing, as that would have made the waiting time a bit more pleasant. Or everyone gets a glass of wine - that would be a good idea too - it doesn't cost anything and it would make the wait more pleasant. Unfortunately there was a cloud over the volcano, so we couldn't see anything. You can't do anything about the weather, but you could have cancelled or rescheduled it, because the trip is pointless. It's not like a dolphin tour, for example, where you either get lucky or you don't. The volcano is active and 'erupts' every eight minutes. But you want to take the money with you... My tip: don't book in advance, but on site on the island (also possible on the same day).

Refund of down payment not received! - Dear Pasquale, the tour was cancelled (not your fault), but we are still waiting for the 20€ down payment you promised us to send to our bank account. Still not received and no answer from you on our reminder mails (Andreas) since September 2022.

DO NOT BOOK - Worst experience ever. Super rude host. DO NOT BOOK. Will be fighting for a refund. Pasquale literally said, "I don't care...", when referring to the issues surrounding his tour.
