Mount Etna Sunset Half-Day Jeep Tour

Get ready for an unforgettable off-road adventure! Discover the magic of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, on our thrilling Etna Sunset Jeep Tour. We’ll pick you up directly from your accommodation in one of our 4×4 off-road vehicles, including the iconic Land Rover 110, and take you on a breathtaking journey to experience the volcano in all its glory during sunset.

Mount Etna 4×4 Adventure

As we ascend the slopes of Mount Etna, you’ll pass through idyllic Sicilian villages and some of the region’s most famous wine-growing areas. The higher we go, the more spectacular the views become, and you’ll learn about the local culture, the volcano’s history, and its ongoing volcanic activity. The stark contrast of the black lava fields against the vibrant vegetation is even more enchanting as the sun begins to set, creating a stunning play of colors unique to Mount Etna’s landscape.

Experience the beauty of centuries-old forests, recent lava flows, and some of the most stunning viewpoints on the mountain. During a 45-minute hike around the craters, you’ll take in the awe-inspiring sights of new and old lava formations in a truly unique setting.

Sunset at the South-East Crater

Your journey will be guided by a professional English-speaking guide, who will share fascinating stories and insights about the myths, legends, and the geological marvels of Mount Etna. The tour includes an exciting off-road track through pine forests, where you’ll encounter the remarkable flora and fauna thriving on the volcanic terrain.

You’ll also get to explore one of Mount Etna’s lava caves, equipped with helmets and flashlights, just like a speleologist. These natural caves, formed by ancient lava flows, are rich in history and were once used by locals for storing ice.

Finally, you’ll witness the breathtaking sunset over the volcanic landscape—a magical moment where the sky transforms into vibrant shades of orange and red, providing a once-in-a-lifetime view. As the day comes to a close, we’ll drive past the hardened lava flows, including the remnants of the ski lift destroyed by the last major eruption, before returning you safely to your accommodation.

This Mount Etna Sunset Tour is the perfect way to experience the raw power of nature, the unique volcanic landscape, and the unforgettable beauty of Sicily’s iconic volcano.

Enjoyable Mount Etna Adventure and Sicilian Wine Tasting

We had a lovely private tour with Salvo - who was truly knowledgable about the region, the history, the mountain, volcanic activity and even wines! Our drive was comfortable. He pointed out many local details we were happy to learn. Mt Etna is astonishing, and the closer we got to it, the more amazing it became. We got to walk through a lava tube, do a short hike up to see a couple of small craters. It was a very windy day, so we requested to stop the hike a little early, and Salvo was flexible. He explained how the mountain was formed and many more fascinating facts. GREAT guide. Our stop at the Patria winery was equally lovely. Tasted multiple wines, some award-winning. The meal served was delicious and abundant. More than expected. We loved the whole day and highly recommend the excursion - and the tour group.

Sehr interessant und super Guide

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Tour auf eine Seitenflanke des Ätnas, eine Grottenbesichtigung und sahen das Ende eines Lavastroms. Die Wanderung war sehr kurz aber es hat trotzdem Spaß gemacht. Unser Guide Sascha hat die Tour mit viel Information und Humor gestaltet! Einzig schade war, dass man hier eine "Jeep Tour" bucht aber mit Ford Tourneos unterwegs ist.

Half day jeep tour

Upea reissu, ainutlaatuiseen kohteeseen. Oppaat olivat ystävällisiä ja mukavia. Heiltä sai paljon tietoa tulivuoren synnystä ja toiminnasta. Kaikki toimi erinomaisesti. Vahva suositus.

Esperienza indimenticabile

Io e mio marito abbiamo scelto Go-Etna principariamente per i review che dicevano delle cose belle su Go-Etna. In fatti e' davvero cosi ... e' stata una esperienza meravigliosa e Samuel e' stato impeccabile dall'inizio alla fine. Ci ha dato informazioni e referenza alla storia dell'Etna che rende la gita sull'Etna avventurosa, divertente, spettacolare e unica. Bravi Go-Etna e grazie.
