Overview

  • The journey begins in complete relaxation with a professional driver and a modern vehicle reserved exclusively for you with pick-up from your Accommodation or port. You will avoid the stress of large tourist groups by enjoying the unique landscapes of Etna North and its centuries-old forests up to 1800 metres.

    Here you will board the powerful Torsus 4x4 buses for a 3-hour shared expedition up to an altitude of 3000 metres. Accompanied by a certified Volcanological Guide you will explore the craters of the 2002 eruption and black ash deserts without strenuous trekking. It is a panoramic and accessible experience, ideal for families with children, couples looking for romance and small groups who want high altitude in total comfort.

    The tour ends in the village of Linguaglossa with the best of Sicilian street food you will enjoy an artisan arancino, cannolo and soft drink. A complete experience that combines the comfort of private service with the adrenaline of 4x4 vehicles and the most authentic flavours of Etna.
