About this experience
The Mount Etna and Lava Flow Cave guided tour takes visitors onto the slopes of Europe's largest active volcano, rising to 3,329 metres on the eastern coast of Sicily. Etna has been in near-continuous eruption for hundreds of thousands of years, and its upper terrain is a stark landscape of solidified lava fields, craters, and volcanic ash that contrasts sharply with the forested lower slopes. The tour departs from Nicolosi, a small town on Etna's southern flank that serves as the main gateway for ascents of the volcano. Guided on foot, the tour covers the lava flow cave systems formed by ancient eruptions, where cooled lava created hollow tubes and chambers beneath the surface. A knowledgeable guide explains the geology of the area, the history of notable eruptions, and the ecological zones that have developed across the mountain. Tickets cover the guided excursion with an English-speaking guide, access to the lava cave, and transport arrangements as specified at booking. Group sizes and departure times vary by schedule.
