Overview

Guidekin summary

A full day from Taormina stacking an Etna hike and a lava cave with a Sicilian lunch and wine pairing, then the Alcantara Gorges from a viewpoint, with boots, helmets, torches and hotel pickup in the price. Moderate fitness is needed, boot sizes and dietary needs go in at booking, and it runs in two languages. 4.87 from 483 reviews at €115 per person.

From the guide

During the friendly and engaging full day excursions on Mount Etna you will be led to the discovery of all colours and fascinating histories of our volcano. Hike on the Etna, see a lava cave, enjoy a typical Sicilian lunch and wine tasting and visit the beautiful Alcantara Gorges from a panoramic point of view.
