Description
Take this great private trip as you go across Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano. This full-day journey starts with a nice leave from either Taormina or Giardini Naxos, giving an enriching experience in the beautiful natural scenes of Sicily.
This private tour begins with a pickup from your hotel in Taormina or Giardini Naxos. You will then drive to the beautiful slopes of Mount Etna. Once you get there, your guide will join you and take you on an adventure to discover the breathtaking landscape of the volcano. During your hike, you will see the amazing lateral craters formed during the 1865 eruption—lined up like buttons along the eruptive axis. As you walk, you'll see surreal surroundings of pyroclastics and volcanic "bombs" while being surrounded by betula aetnensis, a rare birch species that only grows on the north side of Mount Etna.
As you go up, enjoy the calm but beautiful vibes of Mount Etna. On a sunny, clear day, you will be happy with great views that stretch from Calabria to Taormina, maybe letting you see the far-off Stromboli Island. The nice mix of amazing sights and the quiet charm of Sicily’s nature makes this walk an awesome experience.
After an invigorating walk, regain your strength with a lovely lunch in Sicily served on Mount Etna. Enjoy a three-course meal featuring classic food made with fresh, local ingredients. With drinks, this tasty experience helps celebrate your day of discovery and effort on the volcanic mountain.
This private tour of Mount Etna allows you a rare opportunity to experience the stunning landscapes of Sicily, plus the flexibility and personal attention that comes with a private excursion.
