An experience between fire and myth
Flying over Etna, Europe’s highest active volcano, and Taormina together is an unmatched emotion. This exclusive tour lets you live a dream at high altitude, admiring a corner of Sicily where the power of nature meets the elegance of a landscape blending Greek history and Mediterranean beauty.
From the lava peaks to the Alcantara Valley

The journey continues along the north flank of the volcano, flying over the majestic Alcantara Valley. From the privileged perspective of the helicopter, you will observe up close the bursting nature of one of the most active volcanoes in the world, following the lines of its slopes until gliding towards the sea.

The jewels of the Mediterranean from above
The flight culminates with the breathtaking view over Taormina and Naxos. You will admire from above the famous Ancient Theatre, Isola Bella, the castles of Taormina and Castelmola, and the crystal-clear waters of the Bay of the Sirens. A mosaic of Sicilian wonders united in a single, unforgettable horizon.

Meeting Point
  • Takeoff from the north side of Etna
  • If you have particular health conditions such as: hypertension, circulatory problems, sinusitis, otitis, etc., I recommend consulting your doctor before flying, as you will exceed 3,500 metres altitude during the flight.
  • If you have children, I recommend not giving them excessive liquids before and during the flight, as changes in altitude could cause regurgitation.
  • For the best experience, I recommend flights in the early morning hours, when visibility is generally better.
  • For the best photos, I suggest wearing dark or black clothing to avoid reflections on the window.
  • Hotel transfer service (to be quoted)
  • Please inform us of any special circumstances or needs: health problems (limited mobility, etc.) or disabilities.
  • The programme may be subject to changes based on weather or volcanic conditions.

Wir haben eine wunderschöne Wanderung erlebt. Sebastiano ist ein toller Guide, der für den Ätna “brennt” und zusätzlich zu dieser Begeisterung fundiertes Wissen über die Natur und den Vulkan mitbringt. Toller Service, dass EtnaWay auch noch Ausrüstung (in unserem Fall die vergessenen Wanderschuhe) bereitstellt. Alles in allem absolut empfehlenswert!!

Wir hatten eine fantastische Tour mit Christiano! Er hat super viel gewusst und keine Möglichkeit ausgelassen uns mehr über Aetna, seine Entwicklung und auch die Geschichte drumherum zu erzählen! Wir waren mit 2 Kindern (4 und 8 Jahre) unterwegs, war super!! Wanderschuhe sind besser als Sportschuhe ;) Sehr empfehlenswert.

Hiking in Etna was an incredible experience. Gianpaolo is very easy going and a great guide who knows a lot about Etna. Not only did he taught us a lot about vulcanos, but also how Etna has shaped the Sicilian culture.
Our group got a bit of a cloudy day, but has Gianpaolo kept telling us, Etna is never boring! And as the clouds moved, we did get to see great views.
It was a great hike (we also got to visit a lava tunnel), and I learned a lot more than I was expecting!

We took the top craters hiking tour. It was a high quality hiking experience. Organized very well, in an enjoyable and safe way. Christian, the guide, was super friendly, speaking English, German and Italian. Truly unforgettable experience.
