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. THANK-YOU !!!”

“Could not have asked for more — a very professional organisation crowned by a guide absolutely passionate about what he does: Thank you Mary! The way he paced the group for four hours, showing us breathtaking views but avoiding unnecessary risks, all the while dousing us with interesting historical and geological information was, simply remarkable. And if this was not enough, he went out of his way to show us a sample lava tunnel *after* the trek was over and we were back in the base station: He jumped in his personal car and had all the group members follow him in their cars to drive down the mountain to…”

It cost an extra 20 Euro and I was sure how it would be but when I arrived it exceeded all expectations. This trip is one of the highlights of my life. I lived and lived every second!”

“first day in Sicily was a food tour with Kate, and it completely changed how we experienced the island. She's warm, genuinely friendly, and makes you feel like you're exploring with a close friend. Her passion for Palermo is contagious – you can't help but be excited about everything she shows you. This wasn't just about tasting amazing food. Kate helped us understand the city's soul and made us feel truly welcome. By the end of the tour, we didn't feel like tourists anymore. If you're visiting Sicily, do this tour. Kate will make sure your trip starts off perfectly. To Kate: We love you! Thank you for an unforgettable…”

10.Etna Volcano: South Side Guided Summit Hike

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 311 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $78

Etna South guided summit hike with a volcanologist guide. Walk lava flows and craters from Sapienza; boots and helmet included, cable car extra.

“Fantastic! Our guide Max was very professional and engaging taking us to the summit craters and explaining history and geology of the volcano, all while keeping us alert to the dangers of an active volcano. The hike is strenuous going up so you need to be in somewhat good shape. It’s more challenging on the decent as the soil on the trail is slippery, maybe approx 8 km in total. You will experience an active adventure most people will never see in their lives.”
