Catania: Mount Etna Morning or Sunset Day Trip with Tasting - Walking ancient craters at 2,000 meters

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 4,028 reviews · 6 hours · from $70Our pick

Review of Etna Est’s six-hour Mount Etna trip from Catania, with crater walks, lava cave, tasting, hotel pickup, and sunset views.

“I absolutely loved this tour!! Our guide was Leonardo. I mean this as a compliment, but the man is clearly obsessed with Mount Etna. He knows everything about it and showed us loads of videos taken by him and his colleagues. He was really nice and picked us up right on time. It was so helpful that this tour offered a collection option, as we are staying at a hotel on the edge of town and it is a real pain to get into the city centre.

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.

Review of Catania’s Mount Etna sunset Jeep tour, with lava caves, crater views, local tastings, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“This is a "must do" tour for anyone wanting to visit Mt Etna. Fabio, our guide & driver is very knowledgeable and informative. His English is excellent and he made the tour both fun and interesting. The various stops were great & we also tasted local wines and honey. The icing on the cake was that Mt Etna erupted while we were on the tour. Fabio kindly extended the tour so that we could spend more time watching the lava flow. Fantastic. A once in a lifetime experience.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,875 reviews · 5 hours · from $77

Review of Etna’s summit crater trek with cable car, including costs, fitness needs, guides, volcanic sights, and practical booking advice.

“We had a great time with our guide Antonio. The staff was very helpful at all times. The tour started on time and was very organized to ensure the safety measures. The hike, even though was physically demanding, was totally worthy. This was our first time not only on a vulcano, but also watching lava flow live, something you don’t ever forget. By the meeting point, there is a very nice cafeteria (la terrazza dell’etna) that can provide good breakfast before the departure, as well as the water needed to endure the experience. Totally would recommend AITNE for this.”

Ride Mount Etna’s cable car and 4x4 bus to 2,900 meters, then walk with a volcano guide among craters and lava.

“What an amazing experience. Great experience to use the cable car, then a unimog further up the volcano, then a walk to the peak. The guide explained everything about the volcano in both Italien and English and was very informative. please note you must be fit for the walk at the top, although not too long, it is uphill and fairly strenuous. Also, we visited in peak season (August) and if you get there before lunch you do not need fast pass, you can book tickets there . Great experience, best part of our time on Sicily”
