Etna and Alcantara Gorges pick from Catania or Taormina
Discover two of Sicily’s most striking natural wonders in one unforgettable day. Your journey begins on the slopes of Mount Etna, where you’ll explore the volcano’s unique landscapes and raw volcanic terrain. The experience includes a lava cave exploration equipped with helmets and torches, followed by a guided walk on extinct lateral craters — a gentle and accessible hike suitable for most visitors. Along the way, you’ll stop at a mountain refuge for a free-time lunch with local specialties. In the afternoon, the tour continues to the famous Alcantara Gorges, where basaltic walls sculpted by ancient lava flows meet the cool, crystal-clear waters of the Alcantara River. After a short introduction, you’ll enjoy 1 hour of free time to explore the gorge at your own pace using the public stairs (ticket included) or the elevator (not included). This tour blends nature, geology, and breathtaking landscapes. Pick-up and drop-off can be arranged flexibly depending on your location.
