Mt. Etna & Taormina [Sicily]

Tie together our Mt. Etna tour, with a visit of Taormina with a local guide.  This tour is best operated from starting in Taormina at your hotel.  Today you’ll have an incredible excursion to Mt. Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano, (as well as one of the worlds).  You will have a pleasant drive through the countryside & mountain villages to Rifugio Sapienza, where you will see the evidence of the eruptions of 1982, 2001 & 2002.

From there, you’ll take the cable car up to La Montagnola (8250 ft.), where you’ll meet your alpine licensed guide, and travel by off road vehicle through the eerie lava-scape to the top of the crater (9,500 ft.). Together you’ll walk to the crater edge to see the lava. A light lunch (NOT included) can be enjoyed at Rifugio Sapienza.  Your Mt. Etna Tour can be extended to include volcanic vineyard and tastings!
