Highlights
- Mount Etna - Starting from the South station of Etna at approximately 1900 meters, embark on a private walking excursion with a qualified guide to explore the 2001 lava flows and the eruptive vents from 1971 and 1892. Alongside the breathtaking lunar landscape, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of Europe’s highest active volcano through the insights of a certified guide. You’ll also get to admire the lateral craters and the unique endemic vegetation of the volcano up close! Besides trekking, there will be an opportunity to visit a lava flow cave, equipped with torches and helmets, to witness one of the volcano’s most unusual and fascinating phenomena.
- Ragalna - Our tour concludes in Ragalna, one of the charming villages of Etna, known for its olive oil and wine. Here, you’ll discover the wines and typical products of Etna! Through a guided tasting, travelers will have the chance to fully engage their senses in experiencing the products born from the fertile volcanic soil: wines, pistachios, olive oil, honey, and much more!

Additional Information
There are many possibilities and ways to get to know our “mother” Etna, but doing it with a private tour with a local certified guide is certainly different! These are purely private tours, aimed at differentiating themselves from the usual group tours in which, more often than not, you do not have the opportunity to get to know the site and the local community in depth.
