Exciting tour by Jeep and walking on the crests of the craters in search of hornito and lava flow caves until reaching the wonderful view of the prehistoric valley of the bove to discover the origins of the volcano Etna.
The emotion that our excursion provokes is unique. You'll feel like you're walking on the moon and going all the way to the center of the Earth. Walking along the summit perimeter of the craters you can admire the incredible volcanic cone from where the lava came out.
The pleasant excursion will take you to discover magical places where ETNA DOC WINES are produced where the nature of the volcanic soil mixes with the Sicilian sun. The best wineries are waiting for you to visit the vineyards grown on volcanic sand and taste the volcano wines unique in the world.

What To Expect
Mount Etna
On the slopes of Etna, the path reveals the volcano. The 2001 eruptive vent emerges, a lunar landscape of basalt rocks. The warm soil underfoot and the smell of sulfur indicate active fumaroles. In front of us, the mouth is a lateral explosion crater, walls with layers of lava. Glowing rocks convey the dynamics of the magma that shaped this place. Although many years have passed, the eruptive vent is still active, with fumarolic activity and fractures in the ground. The landscape shows volcanological signs, such as the presence of volcanic bombs and new fractures. We stop, aware of the geological process. The eruptive vent, with its volcanological spectacle, offers a unique opportunity to understand the internal dynamics of the volcano. The panorama, dotted with lava formations, is a visual lesson in Etna's geological history. With this show in our hearts, we continue the journey, taking the memory of these places with us.
Mount Etna
Cave of the Carcarazzi Craters It is a vertically developing cavity located within the eruptive apparatus of the 1766 eruption of the Calcarazzi mountains, and like all cavities of this type, the walls are extremely unstable as they are made up of welded slag. In the eruptive fracture some magma remains which is consolidating, but a superficial part of the fracture can remain empty and accessible through the explosive or effusive vents, giving rise to a type of volcanic cave. Although the eruptive systems of Etna are very numerous, cavities of this type open only in a few of them, in fact most of the secondary craters remain occluded by the pyroclastic material at the end of their activity.

4.00I recently went on an Etna tour with Alessandro as our guide, and it was an experience filled with fascinating insights. Alessandro, being locally born and raised, brought a unique depth of knowledge to the tour. He shared captivating stories about the history of eruptions, the local flora and fauna, and the natural landscape, which made the journey feel both educational and immersive. One of the highlights of the day was the wine tasting. The selection of local wines was excellent, and it added a memorable culinary touch to the excursion. Alessandro provided great context about the winemaking traditions in the region, which made each sip even more enjoyable. However, the tour did leave me wanting more in terms of hiking and scenic stops. There were few opportunities to pause at truly breathtaking vistas to take in the landscape and capture photographs. A bit more time for hiking and savoring the views would have made the experience perfect. Overall, it was a wonderful tour with an outstanding guide, a delightful wine tasting, and rich local knowledge, though it could be improved with more chances to explore the mountain’s scenic beauty up close.
Alessandro was the best!!!!

5.00Our Mount Etna tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Alessandro was an amazing guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Etna's history. He shared fascinating details about the volcano's many eruptions, the changing crater landscapes, and the local legend of Polifemo, Galatea, and Aci. We also enjoyed delicious cannoli, fresh almond cookies, and cappuccinos at a local bar, sampled wonderful wines at a winery, and had a fantastic meal at the restaurant at the top of the mountain. We highly recommend this tour, especially if Alessandro is your guide!

5.00We had an incredible experience on the Jeep Volcano Tour! What stood out most was how authentic the entire excursion felt. Alessandro was extremely knowledgeable and provided fascinating explanations about the volcano’s history, geology, and local culture, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. The tour was perfectly rounded with a wonderful wine tasting featuring local wines, and a stop for some delicious Italian food. It was a fantastic way to experience Mt Etna up close and personal. Highly recommend booking this experience!

5.00This was a really good experience, sadly we got a huge storm so we had to forego the top of Etna, still was a very pleasant time. Watching a storm from that height was also something to see!
