Etna Helicopter Tour
Flight & Pick up
Our Etna helicopter tour doesn’t just start with the flight. If you wish, we can also arrange for you to be picked up from your hotel. We will pick you up with a certified driver and a first class vehicle and bring you to our helipad in Fiumefreddo. If your hotel has a helipad, a helicopter pick-up directly from the hotel is also possible. (Price on request)
Service & Safety
Our AS350 helicopter takes off in the middle of a beautiful hotel complex. It offers space for 5 guests and the pilot.
Our pilot is already waiting for you and will briefly go through the safety instructions with you. The pilot speaks English and Italian and explains what you see during the flight. You can also be accompanied by our guide, who will explain everything about Etna in English.
You can talk to the pilot at any time during the flight via a headset.
The highest active volcano in Europe – experience it up close with the helicopter tour
From above you can see the huge dimensions of the volcano, the lava flows criss-crossing the slope, whole chains of craters formed during the eruptions. A unique perspective!
We approach Etna via the Valle del Bove, this huge indentation on the eastern side of the volcano.
And then, as the highlight of the flight, we look directly into the four summit craters of Etna!
Etna & Sicily from above
We offer flights not only over Etna, but also over Taormina and to the Aeolian Islands.
The flight over Etna is available as a group flight and as a private flight. The other helicopter tours can only be booked as a private flight.
Treat yourself to this unique experience!
Helicopter Tour & Relax
After this unique experience, you can relax and enjoy the day:
For morning flights, breakfast awaits you on the hotel terrace, for evening flights, a drink by the pool. Of course, everything is included in the price!
If you like, you can use the hotel pool after the flight … with a view from Etna to the sea.
Helicopter Flight & Trekking
Do you want to get to know Etna even better? Then lace up your hiking boots and come with us!
After a flight in the morning, we still have the whole day to hike what we have seen from the air.
We cross lava flows, walk along the crater rims and go underground into a lava tunnel.
