Join us for an unforgettable adventure with an Etna tour by Jeep and Trekking. Our departure point is located in Linguaglossa and is one of the few to have free guarded parking where you can leave your car and luggage in complete security. We chose this location because it is centrally located between Catania, Mount Etna, the Alcantara Gorges and Taormina, and is only 8 km from the highway exit. The tour starts at 8:45 AM and ends at approximately 1:15 PM. At the end of the tour, participants often have lunch at one of the many traditional restaurants or at one of the wineries (we are right in the area where Etna DOC wines are produced), or they enjoy a relaxing swim in the Alcantara Gorges, which are just a few kilometers away. Therefore, we recommend bringing a swimsuit and a beach towel for post-tour activities.
The Etna Jeep Tour is one of our most popular excursions, as well as being the most comprehensive one in authorized vehicles. The tour takes place in several stages that alternate between 4x4 routes, off-road trails and short walks, allowing you to appreciate the sites of great natural and volcanological interest within Etna Park. In a single excursion, you will have the opportunity to visit lava flows that threatened entire villages. We will go to the top of the craters on the eastern side, from where you can look out over the horizon to admire the panorama that stretches as far as Taormina, Calabria, and the Aeolian Islands. You will also see the site of the last major eruption and experience the thrill of descending into the volcano, visiting a lava tunnel to learn about the phenomena associated with lava flows. Our guides in authorized 4x4 vehicles will enhance your excursion by explaining, in simple and clear language, the countless natural and volcanological aspects of the largest volcano in Europe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2013.
