★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,290 reviews · 5 hours · from $70

Travel from Catania with a multilingual guide such as Eduardo, Lorenzo, or Salvatore Mario. Taste Etna honey, olive oil, wine, and other local goods, enter Grotta dei Tre Livelli with a helmet and headlamp, then walk among craters and lava flows near Rifugio Sapienza for sunset. The hike is easy for many people, but wind, cold, and loose volcanic grit require proper clothing.

“Alessandro was really knowledgable about the history of Etna and its various eruptions. He took time to find out a little about the people on his tour and was very attentive. The tour was an amazing experience and Alessandro answered everyone’s questions really clearly. His English is excellent and he is a real asset to your tours. Thank you again Alessandro for an incredible experience”

Hiking was for a couple of hours at a pace all 3 couples enjoyed, some a little more in front and others spread out a little. No worries for Dan or any of us. Winery small bites and wine tasting very nice and not hurried. Good balance between the 2 experiences.”

Ride a 4x4 from 1,800 to 2,800 meters, then hike Etna’s north slope past fractures, lava vents, 1947 craters, and old eruption cones. A volcanological guide such as Ciccio explains the volcano as you walk. The route reaches the highest safe point allowed by current volcanic conditions and ends at Piano Provenzana.

“An amazing experience! The tour company provided rain jackets and hiking boots. The transportation to 2800 m was provided via terrain vehicle to negotiate the extremely rough landscape. During the ~4h descent to the starting point, done by foot, our guide (Ciccio) provided a plethora of scientific and historical information. The hike included a stop in a vulcano cone, allowing Ciccio to carefully explain the eruption mechanism. Overall it was a great experience, unforgettable and highly informative!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 10 reviews · 6 hours · from $77

Start at Rifugio Sapienza, ride the cable car and 4x4 to 2850 meters, then hike toward Etna’s summit craters at about 3340 meters. Your volcanology guide leads you across fresh lava, volcanic ash, and the Barbagallo craters, with a lava-tube walk and views into Valle del Bove. Bring water, layers, and strong knees.

“Strongly recommend! The guide was knowledgeable, and we hiked all the way to the summit. The view was stunning! The only improvement point is that we were hiking very fast with little breaks, and only time to appreciate the view was at the summit, even though the entire hike was stunning! I would've liked a little more time on the way too. We finished the tour 1 hour earlier than stated. I recommend participating if you're confident that you're in good physical fitness and have good knees.”
