Mount Etna
Along the trail that will take us up to 2000mt a.s.l., our guide will tell you about how the highest volcano in Europe was born, without leaving the aspects related to flora and fauna that characterize it. After admiring old and new lava flows we will proceed on foot to the inner part of old craters. The charming panorama and the picturesque scenery will give us the feeling of being on the moon. After a short break, the hike will continue with a visit, carrying helmet and torch, inside a lava cave to admire a unique spectacle. Walking through a luxuriant vegetation, we will finally admire the spectacular Valle del Bove.

The experience was truly fantastic! We were picked up on time with a comfortable minibus and taken to Mount Etna for an unforgettable tour. The guides were exceptionally kind, cheerful, and full of positive energy. They had a great sense of humor and explained the history and geology of Etna in a very engaging and easy-to-understand way. They also provided all the necessary safety equipment and always made sure that everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the tour. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed from start to finish, making the whole experience both fun and educational. We really enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Catania or Sicily!

It’s chilly and windy and you need more of a hiking shoe which I didn’t have. You should be in decent shape

While the views were amazing, the experience was less than satisfactory. The driver, while pleasant, drove a dirty van that we couldn’t see out the windows. And his driving was too aggressive, he tailed drivers too closely and unnecessarily passed vehicles on the tight windy roads leading up to Mt. Etna.

Daphne did an amazing job, showing us Mt Etna. We walked to the the top of a crater. We walked in a cave of the volcano. Daphne was very knowledgeable and enjoyable. Highly Recommend!!!
