Activity description

Embark on this exciting Jeep tour on Mount Etna near Catania, one of the most incredible destinations in Sicily to experience aboard of a 4WD vehicle! You'll have the opportunity to witness some of the most breathtaking sights that this active volcano has to offer, such as the Valle del Bove and some extinct craters. The adventure begins either in the morning or early afternoon and includes stops at the old villages that sit at the base of Etna, allowing you to appreciate the stunning scenery while listening to fascinating stories.

No hiking or climbing preparation is required. While the terrain is uneven in some areas, there are no steep climbs, and the guide will adapt the pace to suit everyone's needs, explaining everything and taking care of everyone. You'll explore an easy-access lava tube cave during the visit, and the guide will provide you with a helmet and a torch. This experience is perfect for children and people of all ages who want to explore Mount Etna in a unique and exciting way.

You can choose between two options for the tour: a half-day jeep tour in the morning or in the afternoon during sunset. Whichever option you choose, you'll have the opportunity to learn about Mount Etna's history and culture and enjoy the stunning, unique sceneries and views from an active volcano that stands above the Mediterranean Sea, dominating the sky and the sea.
