Etna Volcano Tour & Guided Hike Through Lava Fields from Catania
Lava at first sight! Hike Etna’s craters, snack on Sicilian treats, and feel the fire beneath you!
5 h
Max 40 Guests
When the “hottest” thing on a tour is the guide’s umbrella, it’s time for an upgrade. From fiery craters to crunchy lava fields, Mount Etna serves drama hotter than Sicily’s sun. You’ll scale surreal landscapes, tiptoe around craters, and snack on Sicilian goodies while keeping one eye on the smoke. Fun fact: locals casually live on her slopes. Brave? Or just really stubborn about their vineyard views? You’re gonna lava this mix of nature, chaos, and brag-worthy storytelling.

Itinerary
Hotel Pickup in Catania City
Your journey begins as you’re picked up directly from your accommodation in or around Catania City. You’ll hear introductory stories from your guide about the massive volcano and its daily influence on Sicilian life. This stress-free start sets a confident pace for the day ahead.
Mount Etna
Arrive at Mt. Etna and ascend to 2,000 meters above sea level. Here, your guide will lead a 2-hour trek through the lunar landscapes. You'll follow paths to the scene of the latest eruption, learning about the mountain's unique history and geology.
Silvestri Craters
Next, you'll explore the lateral Silvestri Craters for 1.5 hours, walking across ancient, velvet-dark lava fields, comparing the colors of old flows against the new ones. Experience panoramic vistas of the Sicilian coastline and the Bay of Catania.
Lava Cave: Grotta dei Tre Livelli
Then, take 45 minutes to venture inside one of the volcano's natural structures: a lava cave! Your guide will lead you into the cool, damp air of the Grotta dei Tre Livelli. Learn how these unique subterranean tunnels form after an eruption.
Zafferana Etnea
The tour pauses for a 45 minute break in the local town of Zafferana Etnea, nestled on Etna’s slopes. Here, you’ll enjoy a tasting of typical local products influenced by the volcanic soil. Take a moment to relax before the journey back.
