2.Etna Tour with Hiking, Cave Visit, & Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 518 reviews · 7 hours · from $83

Small-group Mount Etna tour from Taormina: crater hike, Grotta dei Tre Livelli lava cave with helmet, and honey and wine tastings.

“We had a nice hike on Etna and learned a lot about the geology and history of the area. Both guides were great, very knowledgeable and friendly. I liked the direct pickup from our AirBNB. We went in January and it was not surprisingly very cold. What we didn't know is that it can also be very windy. I recommend to bring extra layers, a wind breaker, and have a hood or hat if going during the winter. The tasting experience was good. I will warn, when they start they bring out the tiniest tray you have ever seen, and ask if anyone wants to order more food. We all…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 505 reviews · from $130

Day trip from Taormina to Mount Etna: coach, cable car, and jeep to the upper craters, with guided geology and summit views.

“Good enough trip but would of been better with more information available at booking i.e one of the pick up points was right outside our hotel but we had to walk up to Taormina in the morning via the steps without this knowledge. There could of also been more time at the activity, at least 1 hour more it describes it as a full day but we got picked back up at 1:30 pm Being on Etna was a great experience. You do need a moderate degree of fitness to visit the craters. This is not a shorts and plimsols activity like I saw many wearing, it is snowy currently…”

“We had the best time and probably the best guide we could ask for. Riccardo was amazing, very passionate about his guidance and when somebody is enjoying in what they are doing immediately gives you the ultimate experience. We were small group of four which we absolutely loved. Etna was amazing, we saw the caves and hiked on inactive craters, Riccardo was telling us about the stones, plants and the history.
