“Très belle découverte des îles de Lipari et Vulcano même si le temps passé sur chacune nous a semblé un peu trop court. A Lipari, nous avons visité le musée archéologique qui était vide de monde ! Le trajet car/bateau s'est bien enchaîné à l'aller et au retour. Par contre, la taille du bateau et notamment le nombre de places assises n'était pas suffisant. Il y avait beaucoup de monde (finalement 3 cars remplis).”

“The trip was awesome. My kids aged 22 and 25 loved it. The two gentlemen who worked on the ship were so nice and funny. As an American, the only downside was the language barrier. I would recommend it. We loved swimming in the island of Stromboli at the black sand beach. The water was so clear and beautiful. Panarea was gorgeous as well. The ride home was long but beautiful to star gaze and watch satellites in the sky. The volcano gave us a few spews but it was still amazing!”
