3.Mount Etna: Summit Guided Hiking Tour up to 3,400 m

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 4,792 reviews · 5 - 6 hours · from $65

Join guides such as Eduardo or Giuseppe for a 5 to 6 hour Mount Etna hike from Rifugio Sapienza. Choose the moderate Barbagallo Craters at 3,000 meters or the more demanding summit route to about 3,400 meters, with cable car access, volcanic sand, lava flows, and views toward the Ionian coast.

“Pick up was on time and at my door. Everything was well organized and efficient. NOTE: the description doesn’t adequately warn you how strenuous the hike is. If there is any question about fitness, opt for a tour that includes the 4x4 truck/bus. Areas of the trail are narrow, steep, and in gravel that gives way under your feet. Also, at elevation, oxygen levels are low so coming from sea level there will be more difficult. In summary, the guide was attentive and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our trek and would consider it in the future.”

We were the first group down in the crater which was really great since a ton of people came later and it was super crowded then. And we got to experience the sunrise on the top of the crater, with some hot tea and lots of interesting facts about Ijen, the miners, blue fire and the acidic crater. We would gladly do the tour with Qim Qim and his great team again, it was one of the best experiences ever!!”
