Anna – Latvia

Great Etna experience! Even though it does not include the summit, we got a lot of interesting information from our guide Gaetano about Etna, lava cave and local goods. We were a small group which made the trip easy and enjoyable

D
Darlene – United States

Jorge our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Catania, volcanoes around the world, as well as flora and fauna on Etna and Sicily. We generally like to venture out on our own so this was our first official group tour. We liked being part of a small group (7 people on our tour) and not part of a mass tour bus herd. The hike on Etna was easy with multiple stops to hear about the different things we were seeing along the way. The lava tube was fun and informative. We were there the day before the June 2nd eruption and wonder how the tour on the 2nd was like. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in a delightful day on Etna. 👏👏👏

Full description

Enjoy an adventurous day trip to Mount Etna, including free roundtrip transfers from Catania. Best of all, customize your tour according to your needs, choosing from either a private or small-group experience in a choice of languages.

Explore the volcano’s ancient craters, a lava flow cave, and try some local products, while taking in some breathtaking panoramic views along the way.

Start your day with a free pickup from your Catania accommodation in an air-conditioned minivan. Digest some fun facts about the volcano from your professional guide as you drive 2000 meters up.

Hear about everything from the volcano’s natural resources, memorable landscapes, and flora, to lava flows that have swallowed roads and buildings in past spurts of activity.

Once you reach 2000 meters up, take a guided walk around the ancient craters, recent lava flows, and other-worldly landscape. Rest easy as the trek is an easy one, suitable for both families with younger children and older family members.

Enjoy the tasting of Sicilian "cantucci" biscuits and "zibibbo" wine.

After a short break, head to your next stop — a lava flow cave. Using a helmet and flashlight, you’ll discover the cave’s origins and stand-out features in ample time with your guide.

Your last stop is a panoramic viewpoint at Monte Pomiciaro, granting you unforgettable views and photo opportunities over the Valle del Bove, the volcano’s most important valley.

If the sunset option is selected, take in breathtaking views of Etna during 'Golden Hour'. After your volcanic adventure, head back to Catania, where your tour will conclude.

Gaetano was a super person to lead our adventure. I wish, though, he would have talked louder as we were driving because I couldn't hear him in the back of the van.
