Stromboli: Abendliche Vulkanmagie & Aperitivo auf See

Wir haben mehrere Tage auf Stromboli verbracht und sind mehrfach selbst zum Vulkan gelaufen und hatten tolle Eruptionen beobachten können. Dies vorab zur Info. Die eigentlich gebuchte Tour (über Ginostra) musste aufgrund zu hoher Wellen abgesagt werden. Die Differenz zur kleineren Tour haben wir erstattet bekommen. Der Ausflug läuft wie folgt ab: In einer kleinen Gruppe (wir waren insgesamt sieben Personen) wird in einem Schlauch-Speedboat zur Rückseite des Vulkans gefahren (sog. Sciara del Fuoco). Dort wird dann der Motor abgeschaltet und man sitzt zwischen den Wellen in diesem Boot (ca. eine Stunde) und wartet auf die Vulkanaktivität. Wenn man also leicht Seekrank wird: NICHT BUCHEN! Es wird nicht angenehm werden. Bis auf eine rote Wolke haben wir leider nichts gesehen. Demnach war es sehr (!) langweilig. Der „Guide“ (er fährt eig. nur das Boot) redet nicht. Sprich es wird nichts erklärt oder zu dem Vulkan gesagt o. ä. - das fand ich etwas enttäuschend, da das die Wartezeit etwas angenehmer gestaltet hätte. Oder jeder bekommt ein Glas Wein - wäre auch ne Idee - kostet doch nichts und die Wartezeit würde verschönert werden. Leider hing eine Wolke über dem Vulkan, weshalb wir nichts sehen konnten. Für das Wetter kann man zwar nichts, allerdings hätte man es absagen bzw. verlegen können, denn so ist der Ausflug sinnlos. Es ist ja auch nicht wie z. B. eine Delfin-Tour, wo man Glück hat oder nicht. Der Vulkan ist aktiv und ‚bricht’ alle acht Minuten ‚aus’. Aber man will ja das Geld mitnehmen… Mein Tipp daher: Nicht im Vorfeld buchen sondern vor Ort auf der Insel (auch taggleich möglich).

Mit dem Zodiac zum Abendessen - aus eigener Tasche - schöner Sonnenuntergang - anschließend Rücktour im dunklen Stromboli gucken.

Tolle Rundfahrt im Schnellboot um Stromboli mit schönem Aufenthalt in Ginostra. Eindrückliche Momente an der Sciara und auch noch ein Nachtbad im offen Meer. Sympathischer Capitano. Grazie Pasquale

When realized we had no start time and minimal info on guide we had to contact victor for info. As the forecast for our day was poor the operator asked us to come back in an hour to see about that evening’s tour. When we came back acted as if they didn’t know us and again told us to come back in an hour. We were then put on the shorter tour with no offer on compensation. The volcano show was good, the tour operator not so much

The boat trip was in 2 parts, first part to Ginostra was lovely. However, we were droppen at Ginostra with no explanation on what we had to do. We figuren in out in the end, but still. We had to stay there for about 1,5hours which was too long. Initial pick-up could have been done later, to avoid this long wait. O well. Met a lovely Argentinian couple and had a lovely chat with them. Part 2 of the board trip started when the sun set and we went to an awesome view point! It was just all amazing, the erupties, the sounder, the whole thing was just so wonderful!!! Loved it!!

We loved this tour. Pasquale first took us to Ginostra where we could enjoy some drinks and a beautiful sunset, then we watched the volcano from the water and were lucky to see several spectacular eruptions. Pasquale was competent and nice, he did his best to give us a great experience.

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.

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!!!

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!

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)
