From the guide

Live a unique experience with our Etna Morning Tour.
Our Guide will pick you up where agreed. The first stop will take you to a lava flow cave with helmets and torches, then stop for 10 minutes in a bar.
We will continue with a light trek lasting about 2 hours at an altitude of 2000 meters and in the Silvestri Craters area on the south side of the volcano. You will walk on a path characterized by ancient flows, ancient craters and breathtaking landscapes.
The tour will end with a tasting of typical Sicilian products and a light lunch, with which you can taste the flavors and food and wine tradition of our land.
A real moment of pleasure and relaxation before returning to Catania ..
(In the case of cruise customers the tour will become private if the number of participants is less than 4 people, in which case the Reservation Conditions will require a supplement of € 100.00 to be paid on the day of the service.)
