What to expect

See two of Sicily's star turns in just one trip – the spectacular Alcantara Gorge and Europe's largest active volcano, Mt Etna. On this full day excursion, you'll discover these two natural wonders – paddling in the water of the gorge and climbing up to a height of 1,900 metres on the famous mountain.

Your adventure starts with a drive to the Alcantara Gorge – an ancient canyon carved deep into the volcanic rock. You'll have free time to take in the natural beauty of the 50-metre-high black lava walls or paddle in its crystalline pools. Surrounded by lots of lush vegetation, it's an amazing spot.

After you've dried off, it's on to Mt Etna. The journey up the volcano will be by coach to the Sapienza refuge, 1,900 metres above sea level. Once there, you can admire the scenery or catch a cable car up to 2,900 metres for even better views.
