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.

We loved our trip up Etna! The caves were great and so interesting and the craters and views were amazing! Although we had slightly bad weather (lots of rain and mist) our guide Dario made the most of it. He had a lot of great information for us and chatted with everyone the whole trip. Thank you to Dario and the team for a great experience :)

The trip was great and we enjoyed it very much. Transportation with the pickup was very comfortable, our guide was very friendly and he provided a lot of very interesting facts about volcanoes and Etna. The cave and craters were amazing! We were lucky to have a good weather and we saw the sunset during the wine tasting. We would definitely recommend this trip! Be sure to bring a lot of clothes because it gets really cold. And good shoes are also a benefit.

This trip was great and so worth the money! Transport to and from my hotel, a great, friendly and well informed guide, a lovely short hike, beautiful views, a cave experience and finishing up with some honey wine and biscotti as the sunset. This is very very good value for money!!
