This excursion includes an itinerary in stages to let you know and appreciate places of particular natural value within the reserve of the Etna Park up to an altitude of about 2000 meters. Thanks to the experience of our staff, on board of 4x4 vehicles you will live an interesting and at the same time fun experience. Starting from the lava flows that threatened entire villages, we will visit the extinct craters and the viewpoint of the majestic Valle del Bove. We will descend into the meanders of the volcano visiting a lava flow cave (lava tube) equipped with a helmet and speleologist lights. The tour will end with a tasting of Sicilian specialties.

Definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to know more about Sicily, volcanos or Etna. Our guide is very knowledgeable of the geological history of the island and pointed out details on site for us to understand the formation of the landscape.

It was a great tour, with lots of in depth information about Etna and the volcanoes. It was interesting and good information even for our teenagers. Our guide was Francesco who showed us many different sides of Sicily and Etna. He spoke good English, easy to understand. At the end we had a tasting of local products and a gourgeus meal. I would highly recommend it.

Francesco was a great guide who had a great depth of knowledge and responded well to being asked lots of questions. The food is very tasty at the end. The 4x4 part is a dirt track through chestnut trees that could easily be avoided by tarmac road and the tours goes as far up as the tourist base. If you want to learn lots of knowledge about the volcano naturial history and mythology but not walk much, this is the tour for you.
