Volcanic Night Voyage with Comerci Navigazione | Sightseeing Tour | Guided Tour

Rising boldly from the Tyrrhenian Sea, Stromboli commands attention as one of the world's few active volcanic islands. Just off Italy’s southern coast near Calabria and Sicily, this island offers an unforgettable blend of raw volcanic power and Mediterranean charm. Comerci Navigazione’s "Acconto Stromboli By Night" trip invites adventurers to witness this dynamic landscape from the water, coupled with a taste of local life and flavors.

Departing from either the bustling harbor of Vibo Marina or the historic town of Tropea, you board a vessel headed to Stromboli’s harbor of San Vincenzo “Scari.” The arrival at the island reveals stark black pebble beaches where volcanic sand meets crystal-clear cobalt waters. Walk the shorelines, or catch an “ape” taxi to the village, absorbing sights like the panoramic piazza near the Chiesa di San Vincenzo. Along the village streets, the "Casa di Ingrid" stands as a cultural touchstone, a museum marking the locale’s cinematic spotlight in Rossellini’s "Stromboli Terra di Dio."

Local cuisine is a key feature—anticipate Sicilian classics such as arancine and focaccia, available by reservation. As twilight deepens, the journey’s highlight begins: a night cruise skirts around Stromboli’s iconic Sciara del Fuoco, an ancient lava flow slope. From the safety and stillness of the sea, watch incandescent lava and fiery lapilli pour from the volcano’s venting channels, illuminating the night sky with nature’s own fireworks.

Comerci Navigazione not only provides access to this compelling natural theater but wraps it in local expertise and hospitality, making the experience as authentic as it is thrilling. For travelers seeking an immersive encounter with volcanic geology and Sicilian island culture, this nighttime voyage is a distinct adventure that merges education, awe, and comfort—all set against one of Italy’s most striking landscapes.
