“Amazing day out, pick up and drop off was smooth and communicated well. Very good value for money as you are out for 5 or so hours. There is a small hike portion towards a lava cave, so bring shoes for this. Both guides were really friendly and gave great info on Etna. There is a break for lunch where you can swap quad bike drivers. The bikes are in very good condition and easy to use. The best quad bike excursion I have been on!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 161 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $66

Spend about six hours exploring Etna by Jeep or van, from old lava flows and optional caves to Rifugio Sapienza at 1,910 metres. Finish with Sicilian honey, wine, and farm products near Zafferana Etnea, then watch the sunset if weather allows. Guides may include Francesco, Alex, Giuseppe, or Orazio.

“Numerous issues marred our experience. Despite advertising a "jeep tour," the driver arrived in an unsuitable, aging car, unsuited for mountain terrain. Contrary to the excursion details, he declined to provide the promised pickup and drop-off, forcing us to trek 40 minutes to the designated meeting point. Adding to our dismay, he readily picked up other passengers. Throughout the tour, communication was strained; he predominantly spoke Italian, sparing only brief, sarcastic explanations in English. Neglecting his duty, he failed to delve into the volcano's geography, geology, or biology, as outlined in the excursion description. Furthermore, we missed out on a lava cave exploration, and saf...”

Start at Piano Provenzana, ride a 4x4 across Etna’s north slope, then hike from about 2,960 meters toward the summit craters. Guides such as Francesco, Vincenzo, Andreo, and Nikos adapt the route to volcanic conditions. Expect cold, gas, loose scoria, and a demanding climb.

“Si vous êtes à la recherche de l'expérience la plus accessible et gratifiante afin de monter le Mont Etna, ne cherchez pas plus loin! J'ai fait énormément de recherches afin de trouver la meilleure manière de monter en haut du volcan, et je suis tellement heureuse d'avoir arrêté mon choix sur cette organisation. Ce fût le highlight de notre voyage en Sicile! Premièrement, le côté Nord du volcan est beaucoup moins touristique. La majorité des gens montent du côté sud avec un cable car et un 4x4, restent 15 minutes en haut et redescendent. Avec Guide Vulcanologiche Etna Nord, après avoir débuté l'ascension jusqu'à 2900mt en autobus tout-terrain, on saute…”

Ride from Taormina or Giardini Naxos to Etna’s 2,000-meter craters in a private air-conditioned 4x4. Walk across old lava, enter a lava tube with helmet and lamp, and add the 3,000-meter summit by cable car if conditions and time allow. Guides include Rosario, Gianfranco, Marcello, and Veronica.

“We had a fantastic trip to Mount Etna with JeanFranco! He was so enthusiastic and had so much information making the trip interesting for both us as adults and our teenage children. We were there for the first day of the Etna rings from the new crater so feel very priceleged. We didn’t go to the very top as it was very windy but instead we were taken to what can only be derived as a glacier of volcanic ash which was off the beaten track and very quiet - a truly memorable and interesting part to the trip we were so pleased we decided not to go to the…”
