Top Sicily Underground Tours

Such a special experience for our family!We did two tours with Eoliana during our stay in Lipari — one around Lipari and an evening trip to Stromboli.We were a group of six: my husband and I, our 8-year-old twin daughters, and their grandparents. From the beginning, Emanuela made everything so easy. Booking was simple, communication was great, and she was incredibly accommodating with our family.Emanuela was also a wonderful tour guide — warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive to everyone. She made sure the girls were having fun, the grandparents were comfortable, and that we all got the most out of both experiences.Both tours were fantastic, but seeing Stromboli at night was something we’ll never forget. It was easily one of our favorite memories from our trip to Sicily. What we loved most was how personal and authentic everything felt. You can tell Emanuela genuinely cares about her guests and loves what she does.We would absolutely book with Eoliana again. Highly recommend!

A Perfect Day Aboard Eoliana Our boat trip in Lipari aboard Eoliana was absolutely unforgettable. The boat was beautiful, and our captain, Emanuela, was absolutely lovely—warm, welcoming, and made the whole experience feel so special. The spread of food was just as beautiful as it was delicious, with every detail feeling thoughtfully prepared. Between the stunning scenery, the gorgeous boat, the incredible food, and Emanuela’s wonderful hospitality, it was truly the perfect way to experience Lipari from the water. A beautiful day we’ll remember for a long time.A perfect day aboard Eoliana Our boat trip in Lipari aboard Eoliana was truly unforgettable.

Great 2 hour boat trip along the coast with two stops for a dip in the water! Captain Nunzio was great!

Siracusa and the island of Ortigia are just as wonderful to see from a boat. The best part though was swimming. Also very interesting was going into the caves with the boat. I highly recommend this tour.

Really interesting place. To be honest it became an unexpected highlight of our Sicilly visit. We got a tour by the owners, lovely Maria and Leonard, who have been restoring this site for the last 20 years and you can feel their love and passion for local history. It was truly special. They told us not only about the quarrying process both ancient and modern but also about the many local plants which prefer this type of soil. We even got to try a refreshing lemon granita. The underground tunnels were much more vast and complex than I ever imagined. It trully felt like exploring an Indiana Jones movie set or spelunking under an Egyptian pyramid. Just make sure you wear a pair of hiking boots or trainers at least. I feel this tour is a clear must. You won be dissapointed.

Great historical experience.

What a wonderful trip out around the gorgeous coast of Ortigia. Plenty of time to swim. With floats and lifebelts available anyone can get in the water to enjoy. All followed up with a lovely lunch, freshly cooked on board. Definitely recommend it.

This boat tour was the highlight of our time in Sicily. The boat itself is large and comfortable. The guides are friendly, knowledgeable and treat you like family. The absolute highlight was the LUNCH! Homemade and to some of the best food we ate all trip. The owner of the tour company is lovely and you can tell she’s taken a lot of care in curating an exceptional experience. Can’t recommend this experience enough.

A once in a lifetime experience! Emanuela and her husband were phenomenal. We visited Lipari and the Aeolian Islands for our honeymoon and it will now hold a special place in our hearts. We initially did a 2 hour sunset tour but had such a great experience we ended up doing another full day tour including snorkeling, swimming in caves, and relaxing on the boat all day long! Would recommend Emanuela to anyone and we hope our paths cross with her and her husband again. Grazie mille!

Great experience. Nice boat. Friendly guide. Emerald water, bathing in the sea. It's very worth it.

Emanuela was wonderful 5 star

I loved our tour because Ninni was engaging, funny, and informative. The boat was exciting and fun to be in. Plus, we got to swim.

A few days ago we had this experience and were pleasantly surprised by the show that offers nature and hospitality of the owners who explained everything in detail with great passione.Annamaria and Leonardo two special people, kind and hospitable, thanks to cuore.Consigliato.

Fantastic and different type experience. Great for people who like to do something different than the usual museum or church visit. We do like those too, but this was a lot of fun as well. Learn about the plants that grow in the limestone mining area and go 30 m down into a cave. Not for those who are afraid of the dark or all the stairs that will need to be climbed..

It was a very nice experience, we got on the boat and went from location to location. Where we could swim at every stop. On the last stop we got a nice Sicilian lunch. We did however find it very pricey for what we got in the end. €70-75 would have been more realistic.

My wife and I had the most incredible experience exploring the islands from the water. There is truly no other way to capture the incredible beauty of Vulcano and Lipari. Emanuela was an amazing host - from providing us with local homemade delicacies to explaining the history and unique qualities of the islands, Emanuela made the experience truly one to remember. We HIGHLY recommend taking this excursion!!
