Why you’ll love this…
  • Visit the glamourous island of Panarea
  • Admire Stromboli's volcano exploding by night
  • Boat trip to see the active lava flow, Sciara del Fuoco
What to expect

The volcanic islands of Stromboli and Panarea are the stars of the show on this full day tour. You'll explore these island beauties just off the coast of Sicily with plenty of free time to sightsee at your own pace and witness the famous active lava flow by night.

You'll set off from Milazzo harbour towards the island of Panarea, but first you'll scoot by the delightful coves at Cala Junco and Cala Zimmari where you'll gaze out over the Aeolian Islands. Once you're on dry land in Panarea, you'll have two hours to do as you wish – enjoy a swim or visit the prehistoric village of Capo Milazzese by walking or taking a taxi.

You'll then gather speed as you sail towards your next stop – Stromboli. You'll dock up in the port of Scari where for three hours you can amble around, dip into a few eateries or enjoy an aperitif as the sun sets. Then brace yourself for Mother Nature's finale as the boat takes you to catch sight of an active lava flow, the ‘Sciara del Fuoco'.

    Our guide Fabio was excellent.His recommendation of restaurant on Stromboli was very good and made our day. We could have spent slightly less time in Panerea and more time at Stromboli.

    Amazing and beautiful trip to the islands and volcano north of sicily. Highly recommend to everyone going especially if you want to se lava exploding out of an active volcano. We went on our third excursion with Fabio on this one and he is by far the best guide i've had in any country i've visited when doing similar excursions. Very informative guide who has extra information on everything and goes above and beyond to make your trip the best possible experience!

    A very long day but worth it. The tour guide Fabio was amazing. He shared lots of interesting facts during the coach journey and was very attentive towards those in his party. The boat trip was great and there was lots of useful information provided by Fabio including advice on some of the restaurants to eat in. We witnessed some of the lava flow at Stromboli and the boat trip back was good fun. I would definately recommend this trip although it is a very long day, it was good fun.

Mount Etna tour from Taormina

Mount Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe and a true icon of Sicily. This is your chance to venture either 1,900 or 2,900 metres above sea level to check out the lunar-like landscapes of the volcano's craters. You'll be driven from Taormina to Rifugio Sapienza, where – if you've chosen to go up to 2,900 metres – you'll switch to a cable car and 4x4 vehicle to reach the main crater for a guided walk and some epic views. If you opt to stay at 1,900 metres, there's free time to explore the nature trails around the Silvestri Craters, along with souvenir shops, cafés and a small museum that tells the story of the mountain's past. Either way, you'll want your camera for this one.

Guided Corleone mafia resistance tour with lunch

Corleone was once a town once infamous for its mafia ties, but today it is a beacon of resistance and justice. The panoramic drive through the mountains sets the stage for an enlightening day ahead. Vincenzo, one of our expert local guides says, “This fascinating, insightful tour is designed to educate and debunk Hollywood's glamorised portrayal of mafia life, offering instead a genuine glimpse into the courageous fight against organised crime. This is an important tour for our town." First up is The Godfather's House Museum, a grand 19th-century residence that takes you on a journey through time, exploring the birth of both the mafia and anti-mafia movements. Next, delve deeper into this complex history at the CIDMA Antimafia Museum, home to an extensive collection of documents and exhibits chronicling the dark past and brave resistance against the mafia. After a walking tour of Corleone's historic streets, you'll be whisked off to a local restaurant near the Royal Palace of Ficuzza for a classic Italian lunch, surrounded by natural beauty. Finally, sit back and relax on your return journey to Cefalù, taking with you a deeper understanding of Corleone's transformation from a mafia stronghold to a place that local people are proud to call home, a place with a future free from the clutches of organized crime.
