Mt. Etna and Taormina village full day tour from Catania
About this experience
Discover two of Eastern Sicily’s most iconic destinations on a full-day Etna & Taormina tour designed for the whole family. Travel from the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Mount Etna to the timeless beauty of Taormina, combining nature, culture and breathtaking views in one unforgettable experience. Accompanied by expert guides, you will explore the Etna Park, admire surreal lava fields and extinct craters, and learn about the powerful forces that shaped this unique land. From Rifugio Sapienza, choose between a walk with a local passionate guide or the high-altitude option with cable car and 4x4 bus. Visit a lava cave and enjoy a tasting of local honey, olive oil and traditional products. The journey continues to Taormina, with stunning views of Isola Bella aboard our van, before enjoying free time to explore its charming streets, historic monuments, and elegant shops at your own pace.
