Beautiful experience with Vittorio and with Ciprea. We were traveling with 2 children who were fascinated by Vittorio's stories. We made several excursions, including the social dinner to taste some typical Justicesi products (highly recommended the caponata.... fantasticaaaaaaaaaaaaa), nature excursion, snorkelling and boat trip. Vittorio is a very prepared, ironic person who manages to fascinate you with his stories... what can I say... I hope to return to Ustica that has remained in our hearts and a special thanks to Vittorio and Irene... Highly recommendedoooooo..... if you go to Ustica, Ciprea Excursions is a guarantee ..

was the first time I came to ustica and I was fascinated by it, also thanks to vittorio... especially thanks to vittorio. vittorio is not only a competent naturalistic guide (ranging between geology, archaeology, marine ecology, astronomy, mythology and gastronomy), but also a passionate storyteller who with his professionalism and his sympathy made me appreciate the island in an incomparable way.

Passare un bel pomeriggio-serata nei boschi di Ustica in compagnia di Vincenzo una guida bravissima che con passione e ironia racconta la storia delle piante di Ustica, quali siano le piante originarie del posto e quali quelle invasive importate, mostra ciascuna specie con soste nei punti più panoramici del sentiero, mostra i bozzoli delle cicale in muta e racconta arricchendo la narrazione di simpatici aneddoti della storia del posto è davvero un to do.
Bellissima esperienza da non perdere, la consiglio a tutti, molto adatta anche ai bambini e ragazzi in età scolare.

Beautiful experience, suitable for families but also independent travelers as was my case. Ustica is a black pearl for its black rocks of volcanic origin but also very green with its native vegetation that Vincenzo guides it, knows how to describe very well, immersing the description in curious and captivating stories, the introduction of invasive species is also narrated and pervasive and during the route which winds through a beautiful forest, some stops allow you to recognize the various plants and in some cases animals described through the interesting stories told by Vincenzo. During the route the story of the people who live and have lived in Ustica is also told and the journey ends by re-emerging from the woods in time to enjoy the light of the sunset over the sea.

What to expect
We will walk along the forest paths to discover the rich flora and fauna of the Ustica land reserve. The Oriented Nature Reserve includes the two central hills of the island. The itinerary winds through a cobbled mule track almost entirely on the plain with a length of 1.8 km to be covered also on the way back. You will have a close relationship with the flora and we will see how you can communicate with it and the benefits we get from being in contact with it. We will come across a tuff quarry used to build several houses in Ustica. To end with the wonderful sunset (not by chance, this path is called "of the sunset") where it will be revealed how to see the green ray! There will be no shortage of anecdotes and very fun mini-quizzes!
At the end we will return by bus.
