Full description

Embark on a guided hiking trip and witness Stromboli Island at sunset. Marvel at the breathtaking island views, the Mediterranean Sea, and Stromboli, and watch the active volcano light up the night sky.

 

Meet your guide and set off from Piazza San Vincenzo before sunset. After a safety briefing, start your hike from a nature trail that leads to 400 meters, the maximum altitude allowed with a guide. Soak up the dramatic views of the summit craters and Sciara del Fuoco from a viewpoint.

 

During the trek, take breaks to take in the views and even visit the old island cemetery. Cross the Mediterranean shrubs, accompanied by the constant view of the Strombolicchio.

 

On arrival at Sciara del Fuoco, marvel at the sunset that colors the Aeolian archipelago red and witness the volcanic eruptions lighting up the night sky. Then, make your way downhill in the dark, equipped with torches, and return to the starting point.

Exceeded expectations. Our guide Giuseppe was excellent; had great command of the group, made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. He explained the history of the vulcano and the culture of the island. We were lucky as the vulcano was very active on our hike! I would say this hike is not for beginners, wear proper hiking shoes and dress in layers; you will sweat on the way up and catch a cool breeze while watching the eruptions. Pack a snack and lots of water! A truly unique experience!

The your was great. I would have liked more detail in the original details. It wasn’t clear how strenuous, how long, or that there was a lovely restaurant at the end ( but you had to walk 60 min back without the torches). Big great to see the volcano

Amazing to see the eruptions. A must do in Stromboli. Sylvana our guide was very passionate and informative. Past negative reviews here mention the lack of control of the group and difficulty hearing the guide speak but this is the nature of the hike. When the paths are very narrow, limited liberty with space and 3-4 groups of 20+ doing the same hike at once from different tours, of course it's difficult to manage. Given these circumstances, Sylvana couldn't have done a better job with our group and made it a great experience. Highly recommend!
