Can’t say enough about the gracious hospitality shown by our captain Salvatore, son Angelo, and daughter Vanessa. The Sundial is a family operation and a beautiful example of a wooden caique. The dinners prepared by Vanessa were OUTSTANDING and a high point of the tour. I greatly appreciated the opportunities to take a swim from the Sundial, and to visit other local beaches as well. The combination of swimming and biking was a big reason for choosing this tour. I was grateful for the headlamps provided for the nighttime Stromboli expedition. Thankfully there were no accidents and our able guide Jochen provided a helping hand when needed. Stromboli cooperated with continuous red-hot lava eruptions that were thrilling to watch. Ebikes were well maintained and fully charged each day, and very comfortable to ride. In the future, addition of rear view mirrors to the ends of the handlebars would increase the riders sense of safety. I would highly recommend this experience!!

This was our fourth tour with this Company. We had a really good, experienced Guide with deep knowledge of the history, culture, food drink and geography of Sicily and the Aeolian Islands. Everything was really professional and the groups are nice and small and friendly. 5 stars.

GREAT, boat, bikes, food, experiance, captain, crew and guide= FANTASTIC

Just completed our week on the Sundial Aeolian Island Boat Bike Hike. Loved it! The crew and guide were very attentive to our every need. The food was Sicilian which for me added to the experience. We had to depart from the published itinerary due to weather but everything was covered and more. I would echo some previous reviews regarding the ride rating of 2. You’ll have to be a pretty accomplished and fit biker if you don’t elect for the e-bike option. The bikes are top notch but a 7 or 8 km uphill at a 15-20 degree incline might challenge. We were able to make the extra trip to Pollara only because of the e-bikes. The two active volcano treks were great experiences. I’d recommend a small back pack for the hikes and visiting the Stromboli volcano at night warrants a head lamp (though cell phone flashlight was fine). Our third Boat Bike Tour and five stars again.
