Stromboli: Sunset Trekking at Sciara del Fuoco

1.Stromboli: Sunset Trekking at Sciara del Fuoco

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,372 reviews · 5 hours · from $35Our pick

Hike Stromboli with a volcanological guide from Ashàra Etna & Stromboli Guides, stopping at 400 meters for sunset over the Aeolian Islands and views of lava bursts at Sciara del Fuoco. The five-hour tour includes a helmet and headlamp. Guides such as Giuseppe, Giovanni, Nino, and Federico are praised for a steady pace and clear explanations.

“The tour was smooth and well organised. We trekked for 2 hours with multiple stops and stories about the island along the way. The walk itself is not too difficult except the last section. Once we got the 400m, we stayed for about an hour and a half to watch the sunset and see the volcanic activity - we got 4 displays of lava which was exciting! The descent is slightly more difficult in the dark but everyone stayed together and used their flashlights so we were back in an hour and a half.”
