A private, guided tour in an off-road vehicle or minivan to Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe and the beating heart of this island.
Expert hiking guides will accompany you along the route in complete safety. You’ll climb along the slopes of the volcano observing the different lava fronts, and you’ll walk in this park made of lunar landscapes but also of lush forests, in a set of breathtaking views. While trekking between the ancient craters and the new flows, you’ll explore volcanic caves while the guides tell of the mysterious volcanic phenomena of Etna.
To complete the experience, you’ll have the opportunity to taste typical local products including honey, aromatic oils, and wines.
