What you can expect

  • Get ready for an extraordinary day of nature, flavours, and adventure on the majestic slopes of Mount Etna. Join a small group and an expert naturalistic guide to explore one of the most iconic and active volcanoes in the world!

    Begin your journey by driving to Rifugio Sapienza, located at an altitude of 1,910 metres (6,266 feet). This area is home to some of the most stunning volcanic features of Etna, including multiple extinct craters. Walk among craters and ancient lava fields that tell the storey of Etna’s explosive history, while enjoying panoramic views of the Sicilian landscape that will take your breath away.

    You’ll follow an easy-level nature trail, surrounded by unique volcanic terrain and the scent of mountain air, as your guide shares stories, facts, and insights into the natural forces that shaped this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    Then, get ready to experience the underground world of Etna. Equipped with a helmet and headlamp, venture into a fascinating lava cave formed by ancient eruptions. Discover the secrets of volcanic activity and see first-hand how lava tubes are shaped by nature’s raw power.

    Finish the visit to a renowned local producer. Here, you’ll get the chance to taste the authentic flavours of Sicily, with a selection of delicious honeys, olive oils, and other Etna delicacies. It's the perfect way to awaken your senses before heading up the mountain!

    After this immersive experience, relax as you make your way back to Taormina, your heart full of memories and your camera full of incredible photos.

    NOTE: If you’re arriving by car, please meet your guide at the Terminal Interbus Recanati Naxos
