Exciting - Excellent, everything well organized.. I recommend the shuttle tour in Lipari, because unfortunately you cannot swim.

To do absolutely - After advice from our host in milazzo we took the ferry to visit Vulcano then Lipari The person from the ferry company advised us on the visit time We stayed in Vulcano in the morning while we climbed to the crater and then enjoyed the beach Then we went to lipari in 10 minutes crossing We didn't know the beaches were far from the port We visited lipari which has nothing special in itself We have therefore brought forward our return time to milazzo Serene tours without the stress of the timing of a tour operator

Excellent island day trip. - Have just had a very enjoyable day c/o tour leader,Alessandra and driver Guiseppe. Both put their skills/experiance to great use as we found ourselves stuck in a bit of a traffic jam following a bit of an RTA on-route to port. Guiseppe’s driving skills and Alessandra’s organisational skills meant the day went ahead with some minor changes. We made the most of the time we had on Lipari and Vulcano.Alessandra spoke to the group and was happy to answer any questions put to her on an individual basis. Two beautiful islands well worth a visit.

Overcrowding! - The SAT professional was wonderful the guide she was great and the bus driver was also great however the ship was overpacked to the max was not enough seats for not even close to enough seats and a 97° weather that's really a problem they should never book them many people on that boat ! That said, 2nd cup the island themselves were gorgeous and as I said our guide was wonderful

Rough ride - The boat ride was an absolute mess. Over crowded, boat direction not asking the already seated passengers to squeeze - seats made for 3 side-by-side but most sticking to 2 (our bus was the last one to arrive at the boat and no seat left). We were standing outside and with sea waves above 4 feet, it felt like the captain was racing against a similar boat, creating dangerous ups and down. Many passengers were sick and some quite frightened…. Not great before landing on this beautiful island that is Lipari.
