Why you’ll love this…
  • This half day, family-friendly tour takes you to Sicily's most iconic natural landmark, Mount Etna
  • You can opt to go higher up the volcano with a cable car and 4x4 trip to the main crater
  • The dramatic, high-altitude views make you feel like you've stepped into another world
What to expect

Mount Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe and a true icon of Sicily. This is your chance to venture either 1,900 or 2,900 metres above sea level to check out the lunar-like landscapes of the volcano's craters. You'll be driven from Taormina to Rifugio Sapienza, where – if you've chosen to go up to 2,900 metres – you'll switch to a cable car and 4x4 vehicle to reach the main crater for a guided walk and some epic views. If you opt to stay at 1,900 metres, there's free time to explore the nature trails around the Silvestri Craters, along with souvenir shops, cafés and a small museum that tells the story of the mountain's past. Either way, you'll want your camera for this one.
