Daily tours and excursions - Etna and Alcantara in AWD

"Discover the real wild side of the Etna volcano and the Alcantara Gorges"

Etna excursions available all year long for groups (min. 8 participants).

Etna excursions available with departures from Catania, Acireale and Taormina.

Etna excursions executed by volcano experts on board of modern 4WD vehicles.

Our excursions to the Etna volcano and to the Alcantara's Gorges, thanks to the Sicilian temperate climate, are realized each day of the year, Saturday, Sunday and holidays included. Our expert will be at your complete disposal in order to allow you to realize unforgettable excursions on board of mythical and comfortable 4WD vehicles. Our tour leader is not simply the person who knows the foot paths, the toponyms and the altimetry quotas, but the person who will explain and will interpret the signs let on the territory by man and nature. He is the person that helps your imagination to see and to hear what is not visible and audible to everybody anymore. He acts as intermediary between the "native" and the "traveller", in order to permit important mutual exchanges among different cultures and to give more knowledge in different fields. We operate half and full day itineraries following your needs.
