Overview

Experience an unforgettable day climbing one of the most active volcanoes in Europe and visiting one of the pearls of the Mediterranean, Taormina.

When you disembark at the port of Messina, your driver will be awaiting you. You immediately begin your private excursion by climbing of the "Giant", Mount Etna. Your driver will take you up to 1800 meters. From there, you can visit the Silvestri Craters and enjoy a breathtaking view, unique in the world.

After the excursion on Etna, the tour continues on to Taormina, perched on a terrace overlooking the sea.

You then return to the parking area in Taormina where you depart with your driver back to the port of Messina.
