The tour was fantastic! Our guide Daphne was kind, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Genuinely cannot say enough good things! The views were incredible and we left feeling like we had learned something. Definitely a great experience, especially for the price!

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.

What a fantastic day! We were picked up promptly from our hotel. Our guide Tano, was warm, friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience amazing. The tour included hard hats and touches for the cave experience, which was fund and informative. we had stops for pictures, views and were expertly guided up the the volcano on a hike. Tank ensured we paced ourselves given we were 1500m above sea level. The hike was very comfortably paced. We stopped for local snacks and wine, and for photos. Tank was happy to take pictures for all the groups and kept us al engaged. Wonderful experience. 10/10 pickup and drop off, from the hotel made the whole experience one we thoroughly enjoyed.
