Review of the Panarea and Stromboli night boat trip from Milazzo, with island stops, sunset views, volcano eruptions, costs, and practical tips.
“As you probably know, currently you can't get to Stromboli, because of the recent eruption. So during the tour, we only sailed around the volcano, which, to our disappointment, didn't show too much activity. Still, it was quite beautiful. The island of Panarea was a nice surprise, it's much prettier than what we expected. We also had more free time there than originally planned. The ship itself was quite big and comfortable enough. However, some of the other tourists acted like literal cows during boarding, pushing everyone around like their life depended on it...”

Short ride to the volcano where you spend 5 euro to enter, the guide from your boat will then give you a little info before hiking up to the first stop. She gives a little info about the volcano, shows some pictures from the free map you get when entering as well as on her phone.
