Taormina is a gorgeous destination known for beaches, clear blue water, and great food, but what about activities and things to do? If you want a break from the pool and some excitement, you can book a day trip to Mt. Etna (bring a sweater), a cooking class, boat tours, and more.  There are even vineyards nearby! Choose from the below options and book quick as activities sell out in summer months! 

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. South of the Italian Peninsula, the gorgeous island is home to Mount Etna, the most active volcano in Europe. And near Mount Etna sits Taormina, a gorgeous resort town perched on the side of a mountain. When in Italy, visit Sicily (and enjoy the best Sicilian food and wine)!

You want to see it all when you come to Italy, which means you have to plan carefully and maximize that precious vacation time. Whether you want to explore Tuscany, Venice, Rome, or the Amalfi Coast, you'll find the perfect tour for you. We're Italy experts and have cultivated years of relationships at the top sites. What does that mean for you? You'll enjoy skip-the-line entry and exclusive access to restricted areas at top monuments like the Colosseum and Vatican Museums.

Explore Europe's highest volcano alongside an expert guide, complemented by Sicilian lunch

<p>After meeting your driver and fellow adventurers in Taormina or Giardini Naxos, your full-day tour begins with a scenic drive to the foot of Mount Etna. Gear up and greet your expert volcano guide, then begin your thrilling hike to the top, passing by rare birch trees and steaming craters of the Sartorius Mountains along the way.</p><p>Upon reaching the viewpoint, you'll be blown away by the surrounding lunar-like terrain, contrasting Sicily's elegant coastline and the rich blues of the Mediterranean Sea. Enjoy a more leisurely hike down and settle in for a three-course Sicilian meal and free time in town before returning to your starting point.</p><h2>Mount Etna Trekking Tour From Taormina Description</h2><p>Your 8-hour tour includes: </p><ul><li><p> Guided hike on Mount Etna and visit to a volcanic cave </p></li><li><p>Rental equipment </p></li><li><p>Delicious three-course lunch with beverages </p></li><li><p>Transportation from Taormina or Giardini Naxos </p></li><li><p>Professional English-speaking guide </p></li><li><p>Free time after lunch </p></li><li><p>Enjoy a small group size </p></li></ul><h2> Meet Your Driver in Taormina</h2><p>There's no need to navigate the winding roads to Mount Etna yourself on this volcano trekking tour, as your day begins with a scenic transfer from Taormina or Giardini Naxos. After meeting your guide and fellow group members at a pre-designated location, you'll hop into a luxury A/C Mercedes minivan or minibus and drive through awe-inspiring Sicilian landscapes to a quaint village nestled at the foot of Mount Etna.</p><h2>Trek Mount Etna</h2><p>Your volcanic trekking guide, who will accompany you throughout the trek, will meet you in this enchanting village. Take a few minutes to absorb the impressive views of the Mediterranean to the south and Mount Etna to the north; then, if you haven't already, lace up your hiking boots, and grab any required gear from your guide.</p><p>You'll then begin the bucket list-worthy trek on Mount Etna, hiking across the Sartorius Mountains. Enjoy a relaxed pace as you navigate through these side craters that formed after the 1865 eruption, and deepen your understanding of the region as your guide details Mount Etna's fascinating history, geology, and morphology.</p><p>A surprising highlight of the trek will surely be the otherwordly birch trees you'll pass through, which have adapted to Mount Etna's harsh surroundings. Displaying a silvery-white color, and even some pink hues, it's a sight to behold against the dark colors of Mount Etna. There's no need to hurry here, so take your time and enjoy the journey.</p><h2>Admire 360-Degree Views</h2><p>Fatigued legs will discover renewed energy as Mount Etna's viewpoint comes into view, and you'll quickly acknowledge the hike was well worth it for the astonishing 360-degree views surrounding you. Admire the harsh yet beautiful lunar-like landscapes, unique shades of deep reds and browns, and pungent smells of sulfur that remind us of the powerful forces of this breathtaking scenery.</p><p>Peaking at 10,921 feet (3,329 m) above sea level, Mount Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe, and on a clear day, you can gaze out over the entire coastline that Etna dominates, stretching from Taormina to Calabria, and even catch sight of the distant island of Stromboli. </p><h2>Indulge in a Three-Course Lunch</h2><p>After enjoying the much easier downhill portion of your Mount Etna hike, you'll again find yourself in the charming village set at the foot of the volcano. You'll have no doubt worked up an appetite and will be happy to hear a delicious Sicilian lunch is waiting. Sit down for a well-earned three-course meal, complemented by beverages, and reminisce with your newfound hiking friends about your favorite parts of the adventure so far.</p><h2>Explore at Your Leisure </h2><p>There's plenty more to explore at the foot of Mount Etna, so the next hour is yours to wander at your leisure. Check out the charming souvenir shops dotted around the village, grab another drink at one of the picturesque restaurants, or embark on another short hike to one of the nearby viewpoints. After roughly an hour, meet back up with your driver and group members and transfer back to Taormina or Giardini Naxos, happily exhausted from your epic day out! </p>
