1.Mount Etna: Trek to 3000m with cable car and 4×4

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,823 reviews · 5 hours · from $65Our pick

Reach Mount Etna at 3,000 meters with guides such as Antonio, Giuseppe, Michele, or Dario. Ride the cable car and 4x4, then hike across black volcanic sand to Barbagallo Crater, recent lava flows, a 2002 eruption vent, and a lava channel. Expect three to four hours of walking, thin air, cold wind, and striking views when the clouds clear.

“The tour was great and definitely once in a lifetime opportunity! Really appreciated all of the equipment that is included. Parts of the tour were a bit more intense than expected, including walking on smaller width ledges very high up but it was memorable nonetheless! Tour guide was also great, speaking multiple languages for everyone.”

When our son fell, she immediately helped us, and it felt safe knowing there are doctors along the way. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the whole experience was unforgettable. It’s a long downhill walk on stones and rocks, so good shoes are a must.”

While the hike wasn’t the easiest for me, Massimo made sure everyone could enjoy the stunning, snow-covered slopes of Etna without stress or rush. The route is carefully adapted every day based on weather conditions and volcanic activity, so safety is always a priority. An unforgettable adventure with a knowledgeable and passionate guide.

Stromboli: Sunset Trekking at Sciara del Fuoco

10.Stromboli: Sunset Trekking at Sciara del Fuoco

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,372 reviews · 5 hours · from $35

Join Ashàra guides such as Giuseppe, Giovanni, Nino, or Federico for a five-hour sunset hike on Stromboli. Walk to the 400-meter limit, pause at the old cemetery, watch eruptions above Sciara del Fuoco, then descend by headlamp. The route is manageable but steep, dusty, and tiring.

“The tour was smooth and well organised. We trekked for 2 hours with multiple stops and stories about the island along the way. The walk itself is not too difficult except the last section. Once we got the 400m, we stayed for about an hour and a half to watch the sunset and see the volcanic activity - we got 4 displays of lava which was exciting! The descent is slightly more difficult in the dark but everyone stayed together and used their flashlights so we were back in an hour and a half.”

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

Travel from Catania with a multilingual guide such as Eduardo, Lorenzo, or Salvatore Mario.

“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”
