Mount Etna Sunset 4×4 Tour – Etna 4×4 Excursions

I booked the sunset trip with my 19 year old son and we had a fantastic time. The pick up from our hotel in Taormina was on-time and our driver was a lovely guy called Sergei who, despite his limited English, chatted away during the journey up the mountain and was very keen to give us the best experience. Our guide, Davide, was extremely knowledgeable and talked to us about all the history of Etna, the different lava flows and was very happy answering our questions. The scenery was absolutely stunning and very peaceful, we made several stops along the way to see historic lava sites, a lava tunnel, some local food and drink tastings and, of course, watching the sun disappear behind Etna. We left the hotel at about 3.30pm and didn't get back until 10pm - a very fun and interesting afternoon / evening which I highly recommend for a visit to Etna outside the roasting heat of the Sicilian sun! 🙂

My wife and 2 girls aged 8 and 11 enjoyed our tour and found it very interesting. We met the tour at the Giarre service station as we had our own car. We were instructed to pay for the parking in the restaurant bar and then park in the area just above the garage. There are free toilets outside the restaurant you can use which are clean and tidy. Once you have parked you get into one of the allocated 4x4 and a guide / driver will take you to all the interesting parts of Etna and explain the various details around the eruptions and mechanics of a volcanoe. There is a bit of walking and a cave visit so not too strenuous. On this tour you don't get right near the top so aren't near any new lava flows or vents. This was ideal for us as our children weren't so sure visiting a live volcanoe was a good idea...perhaps they were right as a week later Etna erupted. Overall the hosts were good and could explain everything well in English so happy with the tour.

David who organized the tour and Sergey our driver were both very positive and professional and made the whole tour a memorable one.

Perfect evening for our group of 5 Sun Set tour of the North side of Mount Etna .

A unique opportunity to visit and learn about this volcanic landscape with David and Sergei as our guide and driver.
We had a great evening with everyone, enjoyed the hike and of course the views were breathtaking .

Wij zijn donderdag 12 Juni met een zonsondergang jeep safari naar de Etna geweest,
Samen met dhr David, dhr Sergio en dhr Fortunato.
We werden zeer aangenaam ontvangen en kregen een leuke en duidelijke excursie.
Wij hebben genoten van alles,
De rit in de jeep, de uitleg, de omgeving, de lieve gidsen, de ruime tijd die wij overal kregen, de heerlijke proeverijen, de foto's die van ons gemaakt werden, gewoon alles.
Maar wat wij absoluut waarderen is het kleinigheidje dat wij na afloop mee naar huis kregen, super leuk!!
Deze excursie kunnen wij iedereen aanbevelen
Groetjes Marco en Patricia
