Etna, in the last decade, has been one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Nevertheless, it isn’t constantly erupting and it is impossible to predict whether and when an eruption will start.
Our goal is to try to make your experience on Etna exciting but not extreme. Therefore we do offer a "soft trekking" also appropriate for families with children. If you wish to join a more challenging activity, we suggest you to check out our Solo Trekking tour (medium difficulty).
In order to facilitate the group and not to affect the whole program of the tour, we usually arrange some meeting points for the participants in the center of Catania. If you're staying outside the city center, we'll agree a convenient meeting point (for example at the Central train station in Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII), easy to reach by bus, train or driving (where it is also possible to park your car). For groups we could also arrange for alternative meeting points upon request. Please contact us for any further information.
If you contact us the day before the tour, we'll provide the name of the guide and the type/color of the vehicle.
