The 15 Best Etna Jeep & Cable Car Tours

18 reviewed

Save your legs and still reach the high craters. These trips combine the Etna cable car with a 4x4 run across the lava fields: what each includes, how long you spend at altitude, whether a crater walk with a guide is in the price, and which detour to the Silvestri craters or a lava cave on the way down.

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,784 reviews · from $124Our pick

Hike Mount Etna’s summit craters with a guide and return by cable car. Go to the highest point allowed, explore Valle del Bove.

“From the moment of booking it, to the organised transport through to the guide and the actual climb it was extremely well organised and clear and concise as to what was happening. It was a beautiful day (if a tad windy at the summit!!) but a memory that will stay with myself and my wife for ever. It was my 51st birthday as well so what an amazing way to spend it.

Etna Tour by Panoramic Bus

Etna Tour by Panoramic Bus - Nicolosi: The Quick Reset Before Etna Starts Demanding Your Attention

10.Etna Tour by Panoramic Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 35 reviews · 6 hours · from $59Best value

6-hour Etna tour from Catania: panoramic bus, multilingual audio, Nicolosi stops, and free time at 2000m for $59.

“I didn’t realize I was pretty much just paying for transportation to Mount Etna. Any excursions to go higher in elevation are an additional fee of 50€ (cable car or guided hike). There’s a train you can take for 10€, but it’s not worth it in my opinion. They kind of just drive you in circles for 30 minutes and give you 10 minutes at a tourist shop. There’s a pre-recorded audio guide.”

“We recommend; the tour was very good. Very well guided by Flavio and Milo. Safe feeling all the time. Certainly possible for everyone also with young children. You don’t really go very high, so afterwards you still need to go up with cable (high) or by foot (not so high)”

Walk Etna’s crater world and enter a lava tunnel with provided gear. Choose morning or sunset for UNESCO views near Catania.

“Geweldige tour! Gewandeld tussen de vele kraters van de etna met een adembenemend uitzicht. Je lijkt in een andere wereld te stappen. Tijdens de wandeling kregen we uitleg over de fauna&flora op de etna, maar ook over de vulkaan zelf en zijn of haar uitbarstingen/lava. Super interessant en absoluut een meerwaarde als je meer over de etna te weten wilt komen. Op het einde van de wandeling kan je ‘lopen’ van een steile helling, waar je voeten 30 cm in het zwarte (lavasteen) zand zakken, wat een leuke afsluiter was! Erna gingen we naar een lavatunnel verder op, en kregen we opnieuw een uitleg over hoe/wat. Al bij al, zeker…”
