Day Boat Tour Around The Island Of Lipari With Lunch

Join us for a private boat tour of Lipari. Lipari is best appreciated from the Sea where the waters are crystal clear and beautifully calm. We have hired a private boat to take our group to various locations around the island where we can jump off the boat to swim. In addition you will witness the island’s previous history as one of the worlds biggest supplier of pumice stone.
Lunch with wine & water will be served on board.

Boat Tour to Stromboli Island to Witness the Volcanic Eruptions from the Sea
Monday, 14 September 2026
Our private Boat Tour leaves late afternoon the day, where we go to the Gaiser di Panarea and swim in the warm water heated by the volcanic waters seeping out of the sea floor. We then sail to the local island of Stromboli with its black volcanic sand where there is an optional swim. Following a local Dinner at the Ristorante Punta Lena with wine off the beach at Stromboli, we will sit on the boat and watch the impressive effects of the Strombolian Volcano from the sea. This Volcano is responsible for the term “The Stromboilian Effect” which relates to the fact that it erupts on a continual basis, thus is not considered to be as dangerous as other Volcanoes which brew to a pressure point. None the less, its eruptions are impressive to view from the safety of our boat on the sea.

Guided Tour of the Archaeological Museum
Luigi Bernabò Brea Aeolian Regional Archaeological Museum
Tuesday, 15 September 2026
Guided tour of the Archaeological Museum of Lipari (officially the Luigi Bernabò Brea Aeolian Regional Archaeological Museum), one of the most important museums in Sicily.

Excavations in the 1950’s revealed a necropolis which meant that the artefacts were undisturbed for millennia and the museum houses the outcome of those excavations with some of the most intact articles from the Greek and Roman era. We are privileged in that regard to be eye witnesses to ancient history.
Cost includes entry to the museum
