Get ready for an unforgettable off-road adventure! Discover the magic of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, on our thrilling Etna Sunset Jeep Tour. We’ll pick you up directly from your accommodation in one of our 4×4 off-road vehicles, including the iconic Land Rover 110, and take you on a breathtaking journey to experience the volcano in all its glory during sunset.

Mount Etna 4×4 Adventure

As we ascend the slopes of Mount Etna, you’ll pass through idyllic Sicilian villages and some of the region’s most famous wine-growing areas. The higher we go, the more spectacular the views become, and you’ll learn about the local culture, the volcano’s history, and its ongoing volcanic activity. The stark contrast of the black lava fields against the vibrant vegetation is even more enchanting as the sun begins to set, creating a stunning play of colors unique to Mount Etna’s landscape.

Experience the beauty of centuries-old forests, recent lava flows, and some of the most stunning viewpoints on the mountain. During a 45-minute hike around the craters, you’ll take in the awe-inspiring sights of new and old lava formations in a truly unique setting.

Your journey will be guided by a professional English-speaking guide, who will share fascinating stories and insights about the myths, legends, and the geological marvels of Mount Etna. The tour includes an exciting off-road track through pine forests, where you’ll encounter the remarkable flora and fauna thriving on the volcanic terrain.

You’ll also get to explore one of Mount Etna’s lava caves, equipped with helmets and flashlights, just like a speleologist. These natural caves, formed by ancient lava flows, are rich in history and were once used by locals for storing ice.

Finally, you’ll witness the breathtaking sunset over the volcanic landscape—a magical moment where the sky transforms into vibrant shades of orange and red, providing a once-in-a-lifetime view. As the day comes to a close, we’ll drive past the hardened lava flows, including the remnants of the ski lift destroyed by the last major eruption, before returning you safely to your accommodation.

This Mount Etna Sunset Tour is the perfect way to experience the raw power of nature, the unique volcanic landscape, and the unforgettable beauty of Sicily’s iconic volcano.

Fabulous experience on the sunset trip to Etna! VERIFIED
03 July 2025

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.

Mooie ervaring, erg leuke excursies VERIFIED
23 June 2025

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
