Excellent service, taking great care of customers to offer them great pleasure with a charming smile and joy
This is the best experience of our entire trip to Italy! I would recommend it 110%! From the moment we saw Mano pull the boat into harbor to pick up my family of 5 (2 teens and a 9 year old), I knew it would be special. The boat is so clean and adorable and she had it prepared with cold drinks and fresh fruit to enjoy when we arrived. We slipped off our shoes and climbed aboard and she took us to the most beautiful sites and coves for swimming and snorkeling, then prepared delicious bruschetta and snacks for us to enjoy. We also stopped at the hot springs and mud baths. ALL of us loved it and it was the most beautiful and relaxing day! Thank you and we can’t wait to return!
We had the best time! Our guide was amazing, so kind and helpful. She was great with the kids and great to spend the day with. This was definitely the highlight of our trip. Thank you!
I recommend this out-of-the-ordinary experience; the islands can be experienced in many ways, but with Emanuela it was much more than a joy… an immersion in a relaxed and elegant atmosphere; the boat, Emanuela, and the refreshments multiplied the beauty of the sea… thank you Emanuela for what you made us experience and for what will remain in our memories forever.
Grazie di cuore per le sue parole, ci hanno davvero emozionato. 🤍 Sapere che la vostra giornata sia diventata un ricordo così speciale è il regalo più bello che possiate farci. Cerchiamo sempre di offrire non solo un tour in barca, ma un’esperienza autentica, rilassata e curata in ogni dettaglio, e leggere che lo avete percepito ci riempie di gioia. È stato un vero piacere avervi a bordo e speriamo di potervi accogliere di nuovo, per regalarvi un’altra meravigliosa giornata tra le nostre isole. A presto, Emanuela – Eoliana
This tour was absolutely amazing! 10/10 comfort, communication, activities, and everything else! We came as a family of 7 with 3 adults who are 60+ and they all enjoyed the trip along with us! Emanuela made sure to make us comfortable, provide us drinks and snacks, and provide us with a history of the islands and the rock formations! We snorkeled at multiple spots and saw many different attractions between Lipari and Vulcano. Recommend this trip for any family, couple, or groups wanting to explore remote parts of both islands with great comfort and fun! Thank you Emanuela for a trip of a lifetime!
Thank you for choosing Eoliana and for taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure having you on board.
From start to finish this was hands down the best experience of our trip! Emmanuela is the most lovely woman and had every single detail planned out for us. We entered her beautiful boat and there was a lovely fruit display and snacks for us to enjoy right away. The boat was very comfortable for our group of 6. We all had plenty of places to sit and also lay down and enjoy the ride, the sun and the sights. We had several incredible spots to jump out and swim and snorkel. Emmanuela knew the best spots and gave us history of all of the sights. The views were absolutely stunning and the water so warm, clear and swimmable. I did not want to get out of that amazing water! She brought us over to Vulcano to this secluded perfect spot for a delicious lunch. It was such a treat and the family owned restaurant was a warm and inclusive environment. I just cannot say enough about how incredible this experience was for our family. Worth every penny- if you are considering this- do not hesitate and book it now! You will be glad you did!!
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so happy you enjoyed your day with us. We hope to see you again soon!
Beautiful tour that I recommend because it provides a complete picture of the settings and the stunning sea.
Grazie per aver scelto Eoliana e per aver condiviso la vostra esperienza. Speriamo di rivedervi presto tra le nostre isole 🌅🌊
A beautiful trip thanks to highly competent staff. Recommended
Grazie per le vostre parole e per aver dedicato del tempo a lasciare una recensione. Significa davvero molto per noi 🌊
We spent an absolutely wonderful day on Emmanuela’s boat. Thanks to her kindness, hospitality, and extensive knowledge of the island, she took us to the perfect spots for an unforgettable experience. We would like to thank her for everything. Delicious finger foods and fresh fruit were provided, along with Prosecco, juice, and even everything needed to make a Gin Fizz. A little extra detail: if you get hungry and would like a proper meal, she can also recommend a typical trattoria where you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine. If you are looking for a beautiful trip around Lipari and Vulcano aboard a stunning boat, with a truly unique experience and the best captain, we highly recommend booking with Emmanuela. You will not be disappointed. You’ll enjoy a simple yet magical day on her boat and quickly see how impeccably maintained it is.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We loved having you aboard!
Our day on Eoliana was truly unforgettable — one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after it ends. Exploring the island of Lipari by private boat was breathtaking in itself, but what made it so special was our host, Emanuela. From the moment we stepped aboard, she welcomed us with such genuine warmth and care that it felt less like a tour and more like being taken out by family. Every detail was thoughtfully considered — she was incredibly accommodating, intuitive, and generous with her time and knowledge of the island. Emanuela created a space where we could fully relax, soak in the beauty of Lipari, and just be present. Her kindness and effortless hospitality made the entire experience feel personal and meaningful, not just something “on an itinerary.” If you’re looking for something beyond the ordinary — something intimate, authentic, and deeply memorable — Eoliana is it. We left feeling grateful, refreshed, and already dreaming of returning.
Your kind review made us smile. Thank you for choosing Eoliana 🐚
