What you can expect
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon on Mount Etna, Europe’s highest active volcano, and witness nature's grandeur as the sun dips below the Sicilian horizon. This small-group tour, guided by experienced naturalistic guides, is the perfect mix of adventure, nature, and taste, all wrapped in the golden glow of sunset.
Your journey begins with a delightful stop at a local farm, where you’ll sample the rich flavours of Etna’s fertile lands. Taste delicious local honey, olive oil, and other authentic products, the perfect way to start your discovery of Sicily’s volcanic heart.
Next, venture into the depths of a fascinating lava cave formed during the past centuries' eruption. With helmets and headlamps provided, you'll explore this natural tunnel and learn how Etna’s powerful forces shape the land, creating these underground wonders.
As the day gently turns to evening, head to Etna’s southern slope and reach the Rifugio Sapienza at 1.910 m (6.266 ft). Here, you’ll walk along scenic trails that wind through the latest lava flows and the famous Silvestri craters, created during the 1892 eruption. Let your guide bring to life the fascinating geology and history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Finally, reach a panoramic point to admire the breathtaking colours of sunset over the Valle del Bove and the vast volcanic landscape. The fiery sky mirrored against dark lava fields creates a once-in-a-lifetime view you’ll never forget.
With small groups of up to 8 people, you'll enjoy a more intimate experience.
