Etna Jeep Tour with Wine Tasting, Lava Cave and Brunch

The Etna jeep tour with wine tasting packs the volcano's main sights and its wine into one relaxed outing of four to five hours. You travel in an air-conditioned 4x4 Jeep for six people, or an air-conditioned SUV for four, with a local guide, and groups are small.

Pick-up is included from Catania, the Catania cruise harbour, Taormina or Zafferana Etnea, which makes it handy for cruise passengers too.

• the 1992 lava flow, which you explore
• a real lava cave, explored with a helmet and a flashlight
• an easy guided hike to look down on a crater from 1,900 metres, with poles provided, if requested
• a local winery, where you taste Etna wines

The outing ends with a brunch built around the arancino, a classic Sicilian snack. Guides speak English, Italian and Spanish. The effort is low, so the tour also suits children. If you have special needs or cannot find a date, you can contact the organiser to look for a solution.
