A whole day accompanied by our guides, to learn about the genesis and mythology of the largest active volcano in Europe, from the sea to the top.

Duration: 4 hours

Stop At: Le Gole dell'Alcantara, Strada Provinciale 7, Castiglione di Sicilia, Sicily Italy

After lunch we will visit the beautiful Alcantara Gorges, formed thousands of years ago thanks to a lava flow that invaded the bed of the Alcantara river. The crash between the extremely cold water of the river and the incandescent lava created one of nature's most spectacular scenarios.

The guide was doing the best as he could, but the trip was not well planned out. The weather was extremely important. If the weather is not good, the trip should be planned appropriately. e.g. not to go up to 3000 m. First nothing can be seen and it causes accident.

Danilo was one of the best guides I had so far. He adapted the tour to the capabilities of the single group members which meant for me of my friend unluckily no top of Etna but for that he showed us many other great places instead and it was totally worth it. He explained a lot and was happy to answer any kind of questions also regarding food in the area. Definitely recommend the tour.

Loved the Mount Etna and Georges tour from Messina port with La Vacanza Travel - however full disclosure the cable car/bus tour on Mount Etna is 78 Euros extra - not disclosed till we got there. Rest of tour was good, good seafood restaurant before the Georges - only 30 minutes at Georges before we had to get back to ship on time

The tour guides were incredibly accommodating to all guests’ needs. Alex and Andrea were full of amazing information. It was a fun day. The gorges are not to be missed!

Denny was an amazing guide, shared a lot of interesting stuff with us, showed us the best views. The trip was fantastic, best tour we had during our vacation here! Tip: bring slippers with you, as walking in the Alcantara river barefoot can be quite unpleasant 😁
