Full description

After pickup from the designated meeting point, drive to Mount Etna to begin your tour. As you ascend to a height of 2,000 meters, your professional guide will tell you about the history of the volcano and explain its unique nature to you.

Walk on paths away from the tourist areas to take in the flora and fauna away from the crowds.  Different aspects of the volcano will be highlighted, such as its nature and resources, its amazing landscapes, and the huge lava flows that have destroyed buildings and roads.

You will be taken to a viewpoint to see the panoramic view of the Valle del Bove, the most important valley on the east slope of the volcano. Visit an area of ancient explosive activities, Hornitos, a semi-cave and a state refuge. Learn about its origin and the features inside from your guide.

You’ll also have the chance to sample the wines, liqueurs, and honeys from this area. At the end of your tour, you’ll be dropped back at your accommodation in Catania.

Really enjoyed to have had Giovanni as guide. Beside that he was very able to switch smoothly from Italian, to Spanish and on to English for explanations in the group, he is also an expert as geologist and really likes to explain and answers questions which he does in a very natural way without any of common “know-it-all” manners. And he has such a nice humor and kindness. Beside such a great human being even the most boring place in the world become exacting. ✨😄

Orazio was very nice and we had a great trip to Ethna and on the way there stopped at the interesting places and also on the way back we stopped to see some lava caves and shopped from local farmers :) Thank you! Kind regards, Laura (trip from 05/06/2022

A very enjoyable trip! Unexpected emotions from seeing and learning. Even when it felt like we've seen enough, there was more to go. I'm not a fan of history, but stories about the Mount Etna fascinated! The guide Alessio also answered numerous questions. Very recommended.
