Overview

Whether you're a nature lover or simply curious, this tour offers a perfect blend of geology, exploration, and Sicilian culture, all in the comfort of a small group of up to 8 people.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive up the slopes of Etna to reach the iconic Sapienza Refuge, located at 1,986 meters. Surrounded by dramatic volcanic landscapes, you’ll explore the fascinating Silvestri Craters, as well as recent lava fields from the volcano’s latest activity.

Led by a certified nature guide, you’ll then delve into the underground world of a real lava cave, equipped with a helmet and headlamp.

Enjoy a relaxing stop at a local products store nestled on Etna’s fertile slopes. Taste Sicilian specialities like local honey, and olive oil.
