Overview

The "Etna Tour from Syracuse" experience will begin with the pick-up at the structure that hosts you. Once you reach the Rifugio Sapienza (1920 meters above sea level), you will have two opportunities: you can choose whether to go for a simple trekking along one of the Paths of the Etna Park, up to 2000 meters or, alternatively, you can choose the "Etna high altitude" option .

In this second case, with extra costs to be paid locally, you will reach an altitude of 2504 meters using the Etna cableway and with special 4×4 off-road vehicles, you will reach an altitude of 2900 meters above sea level.

After leaving the Sapienza Refuge, the tour will continue in Zafferana Etnea: the city of honey. Here, you can  taste typical local products and discover the secrets of honey processing.

We had a great day out with Marco our guide from Sicilife. We saw all the things we wanted to see. Marco was pleasant, knowledgeable and good company throughout the day. Highly recommend the company, who made arrangements very easy and Marco.

We booked on invidual tour with Marco. He took us to the Etna and a couple of others craters within the area. My ten years old received a lot information and enjoyed the entire trip very much. We can only recommend booking a trip with Marco the trip was its money worth.
