I would recommend it. - To see vulcano in action in a deep night was very nice experience as well as to hear it storming. I would like to come again.

Stromboli tour- Ginostra-Sunset-🌋Vulcan - This tour is a stunning experience!!! Highly recommended to book and see the island from the sea. You visit the little village Ginostra, walk up the little to the church and next to it is the little shop where you buy your drink and an antipasti plate. Sit on the terrace and enjoy your drink and watch an amazing sunset 🩵. Afterwards you go with the boat to the scaria and you will be surrounded by the dark and watch the vulcano, little explosions and the lavas running down. Incredible 🌋!!! Thank you Pascale for this amazing tour!!!

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!

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.

Nice excursion pity about the language difference. - We had booked this excursion to visit the stromboli and nice and cozy on a private boat instead of the big tourist boats. Seeing the stromboli in person was great for us, but we were sorry that it said there would be a Guide who could speak English. This was not the case. We had also hoped for some explanation about the volcano but unfortunately the Guide had no eye for us because he did not manage the language and talked mainly with the others he did understand.. therefore 3 stars because we have seen stromboli 'erupt' and the still went well.

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.
