After boarding onto our speedboat I will take you onto a beautiful tour of the vulcan.
We will first go to Ginostra then I will bring you to the Sciara del Fuoco.
We are up to 10 people on the boat and no more so you can find yourself comfortable with social distance between each other.
You will enjoy the combination of beautiful eruptions of Stromboli, a fantastic view on an amazing sunset and the option of good food and drinks!!
Stromboli is not only one of the many beautiful islands of the Mediterranea Sea, but it is the only one where volcanic activity takes place unceasingly in front of our very eyes, and where the visitor can see the explosions so it makes sense that the best way to enjoy it is from the sea!

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!

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).

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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!

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!
