A beautiful moment - The organization of this activity is well thought out, enough free time on each island for a personal discovery. At nightfall, on the boat, volcano observation time, great!

Good. - The tour itself was very good, there is no fault if just that day, the volcano was lazy in showing its strength, but it was worth the experience as a whole.

Mini Cruise to the Aeolian islands with my cousins! - I was so extremely excited to take this cruise with my cousins. We had this plan for months! We met our tour guide, Alexandria, who was very friendly and informative. She made us feel very comfortable and well informed. We had a great time visiting Stromboli and Panarea. We were even lucky enough to witness volcanic eruptions on Stromboli from a distance of course. I would highly recommend this 10-12 hour mini cruise for anyone visiting north eastern Sicily.

Preferably immediately again - We had a lot of fun and the crew was very professional. The tour guide in particular had a lot of information for us.

Great day on the water - The crew were very helpful and friendly, and the tour around Stromboli after dark was excellent. And we met a couple that made the trip even better.

Great Day with Great Sights! - The tour was very good. Whilst the other island was quaint, it was Stromboli, which was an experience that I will never forget. The people that live on this constantly erupting volcano are interesting. Get on the boat and go around the other side of the volcano and see an impressive sight red fire plumes, noise and constant change, amazing. Time in each venue was long enough lots of travel on this tour but worthy of the time to get there. Alexandria, our guide was very good and kept everyone informed even though the group contained a variety of nationalities and languages. SEE organised a trip that works, expect a long tiring day

Volcano special - The views of Stromboli at night were amazing and made the entire trip worthwhile. The guide did not share much information but she was nice. The guys running the boat were helpful. The only truly neg were many of the other tourists who pushed and shoved with really poor decorum .

Stromboli yes, Panerea no. - It was a long trip to Panarea. Not much to see. Getting to the beach was costly, for the short time we were allotted before going back to the boat. 20 euro each way to transport from the dock to the beach. 30 euros to rent a chair and umbrella for the 30 minutes you spent at the beach. Skip this!!! Stromboli was nicer. Seeing the volcanos small eruptions was exciting. If you can choose, pick an excursion that goes only to Stromboli.

Unprofessional - Nothing to say about the beauty of the islands that are certainly worth the visit. Clean ship and friendly staff but what we dispute is the organization of the tour. Due to a prohibition of civil protection to get off at Stromboli they made us stop for 4 hours in Panarea without giving us the possibility of any refund or proposed tour change. Since there are thousands of people on such a small island in the heat of 2pm it is impossible to see or do any activity. For the high cost and inconvenience suffered I do not recommend this company (tarnav.it ) because they have done nothing to make it more manageable and physically sustainable.

scam, avoid!!!! - Scam!!! The stops last less than 2 hours and you will not be able to see the eruptions of Stromboli because the boat leaves when the show starts (It needs darkness to see the eruptions.). We regret having taken this company especially since we saw the other boats coming while we were already heading at full speed towards the port.. . Total frustration... And what can we say about the guide except that it is absolutely useless!!! company to flee!!!!
