Upon arriving at Panarea, the smallest inhabited island of this chain, you'll enjoy lunch on board in a scenic bay. The boat will then head to Stromboli, where you'll get a remarkable view of the Sciara del Fuoco, the blackened laval scar that runs down the mountain, and where red-hot lava can still be seen flowing during active periods.
