Stromboli Trekking – A Unique Experience

BOOK NOW – PAY ON ARRIVAL

Experience the thrill of a guided hike on Stromboli, the “Lighthouse of the Mediterranean” renowned for its continuous explosive activity for over 2,000 years. This trekking adventure will take you up to 400 meters, the highest accessible point, where you can witness the breathtaking natural spectacle of volcanic eruptions.

Tour Details

The hike begins in the late afternoon from the main square of the village and follows a scenic trail through the island’s endemic flora. Along the way, you will pass ancient lava flows dating back to the Roman period, while the volcanological guide shares fascinating insights into the history and geology of this extraordinary volcano.

After about 2 hours of hiking, you will reach the panoramic platform at 400 meters, a privileged spot to observe the Sciara del Fuoco, the natural channel where lava occasionally flows. From here, you will enjoy a breathtaking view of the other Aeolian Islands and witness a spectacular sunset over the sea. As darkness falls, the experience becomes even more magical, with Stromboli’s continuous eruptions lighting up the night sky.

The descent follows the mule track of Punta Labronzo, with an estimated total trekking duration of 4-5 hours.

Embark on an unforgettable adventure in one of the most fascinating landscapes of the Mediterranean!

We did the Mt. Etna North tour with Aitne Med yesterday. The tour was exceptionally well-organized, and the group size was ideal. Communication beforehand via WhatsApp was seamless and super helpful. The trekking pace up the craters was perfectly set and well-adapted to the altitude. During our regular short breaks, our guide, Vincenzo, provided detailed explanations about Mt. Etna and took the time to answer everyone’s individual questions. He even adjusted the routes on the spot to best fit the wind and weather conditions. What impressed us most was when someone injured their ankle during the descent—Vincenzo didn't hesitate for a second and carried them on his back for the rest of the way down. A huge thank you to the entire team at Aitne Med for such a fantastic experience yesterday!

Une randonnée vraiment incroyable, qui nous en met plein les yeux du début à la fin. Notre guide, Marco, a vraiment été au top et nous avons pu voir tout ce qui était possible. Là communication pour planifier l’excursion a été top et le prêt de matériel (chaussures, doudounes …) est bien pratique.

Wir hatten heute eine fantastische Tour auf den Ätna. Unser Tour-Guide Vincenzo war von Anfang an sensationell: Beim Aufstieg hat er ein sehr angenehmes, moderates Tempo gewählt – ideal für die doch anstrengende Höhe. Bei den regelmäßigen Pausen hat er uns extrem spannende Details über den Vulkan erzählt. Auch das gesamte Guide-Team hat klasse gearbeitet und die Route spontan an Wind und Wetter angepasst. Was Vincenzo aber beim Abstieg geleistet hat, verdient besonderen Dank: Als ich mir leider den Knöchel verknackst habe und nicht mehr weiterlaufen konnte, hat er mich ohne zu zögern den halben Berg Huckepack nach unten getragen! So viel Einsatz, Hilfsbereitschaft und Empathie sieht man selten. Wir haben uns zu jedem Zeitpunkt zu 100 % sicher und bestens aufgehoben gefühlt. Vielen Dank, Vincenzo – du bist der Beste! Absolute Herzensempfehlung!

Great experience. It is a must do if visiting the area.

Gipfelkraterwanderung an der Nordseite war überragend. Ist natürlich alles sehr wetterabhängig. Wir hatten gutes, sonniges Wetter und standen dann am weissqualmenden Kraterrand. Absolut imposanter Anblick! Alle Führer sehr professionell und vom Fach. Man bekommt hohe Wanderschuhe, Thermojacke und Helm gestellt. Aktuell zahlt man noch Vorort 50€ für den 4x4 Transport und 5€ Parkgebühren.

Exceptional tour to teh summit. good organisation and Marco was amzing guide, very knowledgeable, explained many things about Etna and Sicily, Shared his contacts and sent photos and videos after a trip! Amazing, will be repeating the tour soon again. Also, it was great that people leading the toyr are true Etna and Volcano fans. Fantastic and Inspirational!

Abbiamo fatto il tour sul versante nord dell'Etna quindi quello con più escursione rispetto al lato con funivia. Escursione bellissima e nemmeno troppo faticosa per chi è abituato alla montagna (400m di dislivello). Max come guida è stato super competente e chiaro, siamo riusciti a vedere crateri sommitali e la colata di lava di agosto 2026. Consiglio di farla come esperienza perché è unica.

Esperienza non consigliata con guida GIOVANNI, in data 17/09. Sia chiaro che alla guida 'non frega nulla delle recensioni negative', come ha tenuto a sottolineare a tutto il gruppo, sfidando a lasciare un feedback non buono. Mentre tutte le altre guide portano i propri gruppi a ridosso del cratere Bocca Nuova, la superbia di Giovanni lo porta a screditare i suoi colleghi che fanno percorsi che egli ritiene non opportuni e non tiene minimamente in considerazione il desiderio e le aspettative di chi partecipa all'esperienza. Per onore di cronaca, ci ha infine in parte accontentati, dopo un'estenuante opera di convincimento che è valsa il suo mancato saluto al termine dell'esperienza.
