  • Admire Stromboli's volcano exploding by night
  • Boat trip to see the active lava flow, Sciara del Fuoco
What to expect

The volcanic islands of Stromboli and Panarea are the stars of the show on this full day tour. You'll explore these island beauties just off the coast of Sicily with plenty of free time to sightsee at your own pace and witness the famous active lava flow by night.

You'll set off from Milazzo harbour towards the island of Panarea, but first you'll scoot by the delightful coves at Cala Junco and Cala Zimmari where you'll gaze out over the Aeolian Islands. Once you're on dry land in Panarea, you'll have two hours to do as you wish – enjoy a swim or visit the prehistoric village of Capo Milazzese by walking or taking a taxi.

You'll then gather speed as you sail towards your next stop – Stromboli. You'll dock up in the port of Scari where for three hours you can amble around, dip into a few eateries or enjoy an aperitif as the sun sets. Then brace yourself for Mother Nature's finale as the boat takes you to catch sight of an active lava flow, the ‘Sciara del Fuoco'.

    Vores guide Fabio er helt fantastisk. Giver sig virkelig tid til at tale med gæsterne, om man føler sig nærmest som en stor familie. ?? Vi var afsted med ham d. 1. August. Mvh. Anne-Mette & Brian

    Fantastisk heldagsudflugt med sejlads og vulkaner. For anden gang under vores ophold på Sicilien havde vi fornøjelsen af at have Fabio som guide. Han er sympatisk, utrolig vidende og en fremragende formidler. Klar anbefaling. Gæster med mindre børn eller ældre familiemedlemmer skal nok være opmærksom på, at det er en lang udflugt, og at man først er tilbage på hotellet ved midnat. For os gjorde det ikke noget - man vil jo gerne se vulkanen ved solnedgang - men for andre er det måske en lang dag.

    Bedre oplevelse af udbruddene , hvis det havde været mørkt.

    Fik ikke noget ud af ophold på Panarea. Hellere længere ophold på Stromboli, så der var tid til både badning og spisning. (Vi måtte tage maden med os fra restauranten, for at være sikker på at nå båden til tiden). Vi havde iøvrigt troet at det var mørkt, da vi så de små udbrud på Stromboli fra båden. Det ville have været en meget bedre oplevelse, hvis det havde været mørkt!!!

    En jättebra utflykt med massor av intryck!!! Det hade varit brs med bättre information om att utflykten är mer än 8 timmar. Vi kom tillbaka efter midnatt. Värt det, men kan vara bra att få den informationen innan man bokar. Hade varit skönt att bli avlämnade vid sitt hotell på natten och inte vid busshållplats 10 min från hotellet. Guiden från TUI var supertrevlig, kunnig och prossig!

Guided Corleone mafia resistance tour with lunch
Attractions & guided tours

Guided Corleone mafia resistance tour with lunch

Corleone was once a town once infamous for its mafia ties, but today it is a beacon of resistance and justice. The panoramic drive through the mountains sets the stage for an enlightening day ahead. Vincenzo, one of our expert local guides says, “This fascinating, insightful tour is designed to educate and debunk Hollywood's glamorised portrayal of mafia life, offering instead a genuine glimpse into the courageous fight against organised crime. This is an important tour for our town." First up is The Godfather's House Museum, a grand 19th-century residence that takes you on a journey through time, exploring the birth of both the mafia and anti-mafia movements. Next, delve deeper into this complex history at the CIDMA Antimafia Museum, home to an extensive collection of documents and exhibits chronicling the dark past and brave resistance against the mafia. After a walking tour of Corleone's historic streets, you'll be whisked off to a local restaurant near the Royal Palace of Ficuzza for a classic Italian lunch, surrounded by natural beauty. Finally, sit back and relax on your return journey to Cefalù, taking with you a deeper understanding of Corleone's transformation from a mafia stronghold to a place that local people are proud to call home, a place with a future free from the clutches of organized crime.

Mount Etna tour from Taormina

Mount Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe and a true icon of Sicily. This is your chance to venture either 1,900 or 2,900 metres above sea level to check out the lunar-like landscapes of the volcano's craters.
