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.

Vår guide Fabio var mycket kunnig och berättade beskrivande om utflyktsmålen. Vi vill ge honom toppbetyg??

Jeg syntes indgang til Alcatana burde være inkluderet. Alle tilkøbte det alligevel. Syntes det var uklart ved bestilling at man burde tilkøbe indgang til kløften. Stor oplevelse som vi ikke ville være foruden så derfor underligt at det ikke er en ********** af pakken. Ligeledes lidt underligt at vi havde købt Etna til 1900 og andre på turen til 2900. Tiden ved Etna var sat af til 2900 og det føltes lidt lang tid at være v 1900 - det føltes som sekundært det vi havde valgt - men turen var købt s

Kiva retki, joka toteutettiin minibussilla. Tämä oli hyvä, sillä aikaa ei mennyt paljoa muiden matkustajien keräämiseen hotelleilta. Etnalla oli sopivasti vapaa-aikaa kierrellä paikkoja itsenäisesti ja halutessaan sai käydä korkeammallakin lisämaksusta. Opas kertoi mielenkiintoisia faktoja bussimatkoilla. Alcantaran rotko oli kiva lisä retkeen. Suosittelen!
