Within that break you can take the opportunity to have a drink paired with some small amounts of local Sicilian products (cheese, olives, tipical ham and sausages..) and just take your own time with a view on the sea admiring the sunset before I would bring you to the Sciara del Fuoco !! -
Stromboli Volcano - After a beautiful break in Ginostra, let’s move towards the Sciara del Fuoco to admire the amazing stream of fire from the Stromboli.
a steep and large wall of volcanic sand where most of the eruptive products are poured: large incandescent rocks rolling downhill, creating dense and spectacular plumes of steam when entering in contact with the blue sea of Stromboli.

Fantastic experience - We had an incredible experience, a must-do if you go to Stromboli. We ended up being the only people on the boat so it was a private tour of the island and we watched the volcano just ourselves. Pasquale was very kind, he speaks little English so we did not communicate much. We did have to message him on WhatsApp to get the start time as this was not communicated on the booking. Overall an amazing experience and 100% recommend.

Quality and accessibility - Wonderful boat tour, both for timing and quality of the offer offered at a great price. Of particular note is Pasquale's willingness to meet us and favor the boat trip to my friend with a motor disability, he has worked to ensure that he can climb with all the tranquility and support of his and his men. Lovely!

An unforgettable experience with Pasqualo - We took the boat tour around Sciara with Pasqualo and it was really a top experience, absolutely to do in Stromboli. The kindness and seriousness of Service are immediately perceived, and make it even more pleasant and safe.
The moment in front of the eruption is unique: seeing the volcano from the sea, with its grandeur and the magic of the landscape, remains imprinted forever. Unfortunately we did not see the sciara but the puffs of the volcano. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to experience Stromboli in an authentic and special way.

Wonderful experience - Ginostra, a small town far from the world, reachable only by sea, is able to give a beautiful sunset and a superb view of all the Aeolian islands, while enjoying a delicious aperitif composed of typical Sicilian products. All this was possible thanks to the perfect is safe organization of the means and tour of Pasqualo, everything ended under the Sciara del fuoco, by sea, which gave us a wonderful show of fire and lapilli, satisfied, we headed back.
If you are in Stromboli do not miss this experience for any reason in the world, it is worth the whole holiday! Turn to Pasqualo!

Super experience! - Boat ride with my daughter around Stromboli with Pasqualo – very good and super safe driving. Long stop in front of the Sciara del Fuoco at sunset ... and BOOM, spectacular eruptions! 🔥 Aperitif in Ginostra sea view: pure magic. And a special thanks to Cristina, who sells the tickets – very kind and sweet! 💛

Volcano viewing - The concept of viewing the volcano from the sea is excellent and the boat was well setup for it, however, the advertised number of 12 people maximum was exceeded making it more cramped for everyone.
Also it was unnecessary to spend 2 hours in Ginostra just waiting around for the sunset before proceeding to the viewing area.

Very badly managed by Pasqualo who blamed the organization from Spain - We were supposed to be at 4.30pm on the pier so we did not ascend to the volcano Observatory. There we received a message informing of delay at 4.45 pm (the coordinator and the Zodiac, punctual as we). Then the coordinator informed us of 10 min delay for waiting for 2 pp. At the end, we leave at 5.40pm. I mean, more than 1h waiting!!! If we had been summoned at 5.30pm, we would have gone up to the Observatory

When realized we had no... - 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

Read the review - The grade is 3 divided between 2 factors:
- vote 5 as the explosions are continuous and beautiful, the aperitif is in a very nice place (even if the saucer is a bit ridiculous)
- vote 1 because legally they could not bring people in front of the sciara of the fire, by law you should stay at 2 nautical miles (about 4km scarce) but obviously approach a few hundred meters to allow optimal vision.
Long live the legality

Total disappointment of the tour! - Unfortunately, the tour was a disappointment.
Title of the tour:
Fire from the sea with an aperitif towards Ginostra,
Reality:
1. To find out the departure time, several phone calls and emails had to be made. Annoying!
2. The tour suggested a pleasant evening with an aperitif over Ginostra to the fire slide.
We did not receive an aperitif, and Ginostra was not even approached.
3. No explanations from the boat captain. Languages were asked for during registration (English, French); the boat captain only spoke Italian. No communication was possible.
In this regard, we see the service we booked as not provided.
We demand our payment of 130 euros back.
