You get to see Panarea and Stromboli, if you want to swim there isn’t time. You get a little less than 2 hours on the islands, which is either not enough or too long depending on what you want to do. The guide, if we are talking about the person who stays with the boat (as there is no guide once on the islands) only spoke German or Italian, her English was very poor and hard to understand and her French non existent. Stay on the left side of the boat once you leave Stromboli as it’s this side you will see the volcano. If you want to stay outside, take a jacket for the trip back to Sicily. I’m glad we went on this trip, it’s a little expensive, but worth doing.

The boat was large and not very glamorous. It's worth getting there early to get a window seat or if you want to be above deck. Panarea is very pretty, we didn't make it to cala junco as it's quite along walk, it was extremely hot and there isn't that much time on the island. We swam in a little, rocky cove. We really liked Stromboli, we had a nice meal in a restaurant and swam at the black, volcanic beach. We got back on the boat just before sunset and we were thrilled to see Stromboli's volcano erupting every few minutes. There was ample time to see it and we did manage to go above deck to take photos and videos. All in all, not cheap but great trip.

It was very good , crew were friendly and pleasant. There was plenty of time to see the places we stopped at .. walk , hike , swimming if you wanted to we’re all possible as was having a beer , ice cream or a meal or whatever… . Stromboli was fairly quiet the day we went 06.10.22 but some lava explosions were visible . Sunset was amazing and compensated a little . No complaints re boat or crew . Overall - we’ll worth the money .
