***Following the volcano’s intense activity and unusually large explosions in 2019, access to the crater is closed. Trekking routes have been reorganized accordingly. It is now again possible to walk up to 400 m high accompanied by licensed mountain or volcanological guides to observe volcanic eruptions.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2-day program for the Stromboli trek:<\/strong><\/p>\n Crossing<\/strong><\/p>\n Depending on the day of the week, departure from the port of Tropea is at 7:30 a.m.-arrival to Stromboli is at 9:30 a.m. or 3:45 p.m. (passing first by the islands of Vulcano and Lipari with free time available), or in the afternoon at 2:30 p.m. (direct leg). The direct crossing takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes.<\/p>\n Island arrival.<\/strong><\/p>\n After arriving on Stromboli, you will have time to check into your hotel and then head to the meeting point with the trekking guide. The climb begins around 5 p.m. (start time depends on the time of the evening sunset).<\/p>\n Trekking Excursion<\/strong><\/p>\n You will walk along a nature trail up the sides of the volcano to 400 meters above sea level. After the first few minutes, the volcano will mesmerize you with its aura and the muffled sounds of explosions. Once you reach the vantage point at sunset, you will witness a breathtaking natural spectacle with a view of the crater. During the hike, we receive interesting geological, historical and naturalistic information from our dedicated volcano guide. The descent to the valley in the dark is also a special experience for all adventurers!<\/p>\n After breakfast<\/strong><\/p>\n The island is also beautiful and ideal to explore on the second day: the small alleys of the village of St. Vincent offer photo opportunities at every turn, and you can enjoy a wonderful swim in the fine black sand volcanic beaches and bays hidden among ancient lava flows before departing for the return trip to Tropea in the late afternoon.<\/p>\n
