Embark on an unforgettable full-day excursion to Mount Etna, Europe's highest active volcano.
Departing from Taormina in a comfortable minivan, you'll be guided by a volcanological expert through the mesmerizing landscapes and geological wonders of Etna.

Witness breathtaking views of the volcano's towering summit, lush vegetation, and unique birch forests with silvery-white bark. Upon reaching the top, marvel at the lunar-like terrain and panoramic vistas stretching from Taormina to Calabria, with Stromboli Island in sight on clear days.
