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.

GetYourGuide traveler – Saudi Arabia5 December 2023 – Verified booking
Really enjoyed the trip, it is a very beautiful and unique natural beauty worth seeing it. Our guide Danielle was awesome very knowledgeable and explained a lot about the impact of the volcano. The drive was very bumby, but we had few short stops before reaching our destination, we went in December so it was very windy and cold make sure you dress for it.

The day trip was fantastic from start to finish. We were picked up at our apartment and the tour started to all the beautiful places of Etna, we visited a cave, we climbed Etna. We received a lot of information and explanation, but it was really just right. On Etna we had an aperitif and delicious cookies. This was really great. The tour guide is very nice, provides good guidance and really pays attention to everyone. I can really recommend it! This is a one in a lifetime experience.

Perfect transportation, guide took us next to our appartment. Tour took from 9.30-14.30, we had the best experience with our guide Dario! Walked up on one of Etna craters. And at the same time big cloud of smoke came up from top of etna! Emotions was amazing! Recommend 100%
