Premium Etna Sunset

Watching the sky light up in a variety of orange hues and then burn out into darkness while standing atop a volcano is unique sensation. This dramatic tour takes you to Mt Etna – a must-visit when in Sicily. You'll head to a height of almost 3,000 metres to catch the sunset and then feast on a traditional meal. This is one of our TUI Collection excursions, which give you a local flavour of the destination while showcasing its unique, authentic and responsible values.As part of a select group of no more than 19 guests, you'll go on a minibus drive to Mt Etna. As the terrain becomes rockier, we switch to a 4x4 vehicle. There'll be stops to take in the harsh, lunar-like lava-smothered landscape as we make our way to 2,900m above sea level – the highest point that's safely reachable.Make sure you're wearing comfortable walking shoes and warm layers – it gets cold at high altitude. After admiring the views from what's almost the top, an expert alpine guide will take to a less exposed 2,500m, where you'll watch the sunset in comfort. Then on the way back, we'll stop at a chalet for a typical Sicilian dinner.
