Etna Volcano Excursions in Sicily

Joining our jeep tours you will visit the most beautiful parts of this volcano, well known for its tourist and not dangerous eruptions and for its breathtaking sunsets and panoramas. You will go to places which are rarely visited by tourists, and even some of the locals do not know exist. You will travel through outstanding scenery and typical Sicilian villages.

All our Etna excursions start from Taormina, Giardini Naxos, and Catania area. We will pick you up directly at your hotel / accomodation or we will meet you at easy meeting points.

During our Etna Jeep tours a multi-language guide volcano expert will lead you across easy paths and trekking itineraries to discovery ancient and recent lava flows, extinct craters, houses and churches surrounded by lava flows, old roads partly destroyed by the strength of the nature, centenary trees, beautiful pine-woods and wonderful panoramas.

All our Etna Jeep excursions include a fun walk inside one of the countless volcanic caves of Mount Etna: fascinating horizontal lava tunnels which were created by the flow of molten lava thousand of years ago.

Our full-day Etna Jeep trip starting from Taormina, Giardini Naxos and Catania area, also include a visit of the Alcantara River Park. You will walk down to the Alcantara Gorges, the most beautiful gorges of Sicily, to have a short trekking along the Alcantara River and to admire basalt columns.

During our Etna Jeep tours you will taste typical Sicilian delicacies and the famous Etna wines.

You have several choices to have lunch during our tours: you can taste some Sicilian specialities in a mountain hut or in a typical Etna Agriturismo or you can have a lunch with wine tasting in a famous Etna winery or simply take a picnic in a pine-wood.

Our Etna jeep tours are the best solution for small or big group, couple, families with children, or for whoever would like to walk for short distances only without missing the sights of Mt. Etna.

Our Etna shore excursions are also a good choice for passengers of cruise ship docked at Messina, Catania, Taormina and Giardini Naxos harbour.

Our Private Etna Tours allow you to travel with your party alone and, in many cases, to fully customize your shore tour. For groups of 4 or more, we can usually arrange a private shore excursion for less than the cost of a large cruise line tour.

We offer some great options for cruise ship passengers, whether you’ve got all day or just a few hours.
