We saw Stromboli twice from the ocean during a Cruise. On the way South, we saw it with a mild glow and some steam vents around 5PM. On the way back North, we were lucky to pass by at sunset. The Captain of the Eurodam slowed down so we could get the full effect. Just after sunset, while there was... More

very well organized by the local administration for obvious safety reasons due to the numerous files of visitors asking for such trekking.

This was an incredible experience, first the 3+ hour trek to the 918m mark which was not exactly a stroll in the park and was accomplished with a certain sense of achievement and then the unending fire works display put on for our benefit by the volcano was a once in a lifetime event. Stromboli gave us the most amazing... More

We visited Sicily in April 2013 and went to Milazzo,Stromboli,Taormina,Catania,Siracusa and Agrigento. We absolutely loved all the places we visited and the highlight of the whole trip was the Volcano that is Stromboli.The tough hike to the top is well worth it and you must make the effort to do this if your journey takes you anywhere near the ferry...

The afternoon I climbed Stromboli there were 6 groups of 20 and we were last to leave. You must do this as long as you are not afraid of heights or the dark and are able to walk uphill for about 3 hours. The path is picked as you go alone and you need to follow the guide's instructions to... More

We were backpacking through Italy and while staying in Napoli my partner read an article about Stromboli, it pretty much said your guranteed to see Lava and we were sold after that. We did whatever it took for us to get there and were rewarded with the amazing show. Every 30 - 40 minutes you will get a large thundering... More

Wow, we will remember Stromboli's thundering growls, smoke, And night time fireworks forever. We walked as far as you Can really go without a guide. Tips: Take water, good shoes, a flash light And warm clothes To put on after dark. With my kids, 4 And 11, We walked far enough To see the lava flow-there are two wooden fences,... More

The climb is hard work and some even turn back but the feeling you get when you stand on the old crater and look down at the eruptions is out if this world.You do need all the equipment stated but their is a hire shop near to the church...

Amazing to see an active volcano. At night it just lights up, keeps you on the edge of your seat, as you never know when its going to happen. Very exciting

This is how we imagine volcanoes. After a strenuous walk, you end up at the top where you have a stunning view of Stromboli island and of the active mouths just below you exploding every few minutes. You'll never forget it.
