Small-group Etna trip from Catania with crater walk, lava cave helmets, cantucci and zibibbo, plus sunrise or sunset views.
“The tour guide was outstanding, very knowledgeable and prompt. However, the description of this excursion was very deceiving.. we were not aware we'd be hiking 2100 meters It was very exhausting and unexpected.”
Sunset jeep tour of Mount Etna from Catania with lava caves, Hornitos craters, Zafferana Etnea tastings, and views from 2000 m.
“We truly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience the Etna volcano in a way that feels very comfortable and safe. Our tour guide Gaetano has drove us around all the best spots and provided us with a dose of knowledge about the volcano. Not only was it educational, but also very entertaining. We got to experience the cave with the flashlights and also taste some Sicilian snacks and wine. The perfect ending of the whole trip was getting to see the sunset from a truly amazing spot at 2000mt. If you get Gaetano as your guide you will for sure not be bored ;))”

“Raff was a great guide, very knowledgeable and funny. She made everyone feel comfortable. All of the tastes we had made more than 1 meal, it was a great value for the amount of food, information, and time spent.”
Sunset boat from Giardini Naxos with Grotta Azzurra caves, White Lotus locations, dolphin searching, swimming, and a Sicilian aperitif.
“Superb trip. We had small children and were put on a smaller boat which allowed us to have plenty of room and enjoy the excursion. Saw dolphins, ate focaccia and swam in front of isola Bella. Fading light on way back and party hits made for a memorable end. the perfect trip, and the best excursion we took over our 2 week holiday”

Sunset boat tour from Giardini Naxos: Cape Taormina caves, dolphin watching, a swim/snorkel stop, and aperitivo snacks and drinks.
“The adventure started on a very gloomy weather, so I was kinda worried about the sunset and everything, but nature just surprised us with a sudden clear sky and a beautiful sunset. Fortunately we also found dolphins and following them was one of the greatest experiences of my life! Hosts were absolutely lovely and, honestly, I felt that these people love their job and the sea. Fully recommended! 🤝🏻❤️🩹”
Sunset dolphin hunt from Giardini Naxos with Etna coast views, swim stop, arancini or pizza, and prosecco.
“I’ve done a lot of dolphin watching tours and this one was by far the best one! Antonio and Mariella were incredibly nice and really made the atmosphere on the boat very enjoyable! You could tell that they love their jobs and they put a lot of effort into finding the dolphins. We saw a lot of them (also close by)! Also we had plenty of Prosecco and pizza! The boat was very cute and the group wasn’t too big which created a very lovely vibe. I really cannot recommend this experience enough! At the end we also played music and started dancing during the sunset on the boat! Very…”
