Review of the Panarea and Stromboli boat trip from Milazzo, with island stops, sunset volcano views, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“Very enjoyable but you have to choose your seat carefully which means boarding early.”
Cruise from Giardini Naxos to Taormina’s Blue Cave and Isola Bella with swimming, snorkeling, Sicilian treats, and an aperitif.
“Don't listen to the bad reviews on here - boat tour was very good value for money! We got the boat depicted in pic 3. We had 9 people on the boat and was more than enough room. Our guide Georgio was really lovely and actually asked the group collectively if we'd rather swim more or sight see more. We picked to swim more but I still feel we were able to see so much of the coast and swam for about 30-40 minutes which was more than enough. We were provided with nice biscuits and Prosecco and was told about the history of the coastline. Only thing is you…”

“35 4 minimum 18 176 total This was definitely a fantastic, memorable experience for our entire family. We were 10 people and much to our surprise we had the privilege of a private tour. Francesco was super funny and had great tunes to jam out on. The captain certainly makes a difference in your experience. He was interactive with our young adult kids, took pics and joked around a lot. An unforgettable experience for sure. Thank you”

Review of the Taormina to Lipari and Vulcano mini cruise, with island highlights, timing, value, transport tips, and practical advice.
“Our guide, Elizabeth, was excellent and highly recommended. The tour was great but the very early start was difficult. Our hotel was at the bottom of Taormina, and the cable cars do not run before 8am so we were forced to hire a taxi to arrive at the pick up point on time. Frustratingly, there were several pick ups at the start of the trip and the coach actually drove past our hotel. Could a pick up be arranged for the bottom of the cable cars?”
Cruise from Giardini Naxos to Isola Bella for sea caves, a swim, coastal views, dolphins, Prosecco, and a Sicilian snack.

Pick a ruin, a gallery, a kitchen or a boat.
