This six-hour bus and walking trip focuses on Mount Etna, the highest volcano in Europe, located in Sicily. The tour starts with hotel pickup in Catania (excluding ZTL zones) and transport in an air-conditioned minivan, jeep, or minibus. A professional driver and guide provide commentary throughout the journey. Travel up to about 2,000 meters above sea level along a trail where the guide explains Etna’s geological formation and the local plants and animals. The walk includes views of both recent and ancient lava flows and continues to the interior of old craters, offering landscapes that resemble a lunar surface. After a short rest, the group explores a lava cave wearing helmets and using torches to observe its unique features. The return route passes through dense vegetation to reach the Valle del Bove, a large volcanic valley, before returning to the starting point for hotel drop-off in Catania. The trip includes all transport and guiding services but excludes food, drinks, clothing, gloves, masks, and Trikke use.
