Beginning at your accommodation (in Catania or Taormina), your expert will pick you up before heading towards the smoldering Mount Etna, which dominates the entire northeastern region of Sicily. With your guide, you will embark on a magnificent walk on the edge of craters in order to understand the geological structure of the volcano and its eruption lifecycle. To understand this in more depth, equipped with lights, we will descend into a lava cave to explore the mountain's formation and historical activity. Returning to your 4X4, we then traverse an ancient lava flow in order to reach one of the most breathtaking views Mt Etna provides: the Valle del Bove.

After taking in the breathtaking scenery, you and your guide will continue to a well-regarded local winery for an introduction to Etna wines and a much-needed gastronomic break. We'll take some time to discuss Etna wine production while tasting its finest bounty. At the end of our tour, we will be dropped off at our accommodation.

For those interested in a shorter Etna experience, try our Half Day Etna tour.

Our private tours are limited exclusively to travelers in your party. Private tours give you more flexibility with scheduling (you decide when the walk best fits your trip) and more personalized time with your guide.

We meet at your accommodation. Your route may differ according to your guide. Your confirmation email will have the exact meeting point details along with a map.

Is lunch included in this tour?
A light lunch is provided at the winery along with the wine tasting.  For an additional fee, a picnic lunch can be provided if your group wishes to have a more substantial mid-day meal. Please select the picnic basket when you put this tour into your cart at checkout.

If the weather forecast is such that the hike can't take place in reasonable conditions, we will try to reschedule it.
