Full description

Begin your journey by boarding a bus with your knowledgeable tour leader. This will take you approximately 1,900 meters (about 6,233 feet) up Mount Etna, where you will then switch to jeeps in order to get within a safe distance of the main crater area at 2,800 meters (about 9,840 feet) elevation. 

During your ascent, you’ll be escorted by a licensed guides of the Cai - Italian Alpine Club.

Mount Etna is an active volcano on the east coast of Sicily, and the tallest active volcano in Europe, standing at 3,350 meters (about 10,990 feet). 

It’s also one of the most active volcanoes in the world and in an almost constant state of activity since its first eruption about half a million years ago.

 

After reaching the highest authorized area, stop to experience a stunning sunset as the fading sun’s colors cover the volcano, the Valley of the Bove, and all of the expansive surroundings. 

Following the sunset, return by jeep to 1,900 meters, at which point it will be time for dinner (cost not included) in a local restaurant to finish off the evening. Boots and jacket rentable on site.

We had so much fun during this excursion! The views were more incredible than we ever imagined and our tour guide was fantastic - knowledgeable, passionate, and even got the whole group to join in on a song at the sun was setting. We felt safe throughout the activity and ended with a lovely local dinner. Would absolutely recommend if you’re looking for some adventure!

Good trip, well organized but not much expertise shared by first guide. Mountain 4x4 guide was great. Would recommend better communication about sunset temperatures at the summit. Despite renting jackets at a souvenir shop and layering with our own it was still to cold to really enjoy sunset

With the cloud cover it was kinda a let down. We expeted to climb the sumit and watch the sunset. But with a thick cloud cover we only took a hike arond the lower crater, and the sunset was kinda 'meh'... It is still a great experience, but did not come close to our expectations.
