Etna Jeep Tour & Snorkeling

At 8:30 am, we'll meet on Via Provinciale in Catania, where we'll board an all-terrain vehicle to head for the Etna Natural Park. Prepare to explore one of Italy's most famous volcanoes.

During this tour, we'll alternate between sitting on the jeep and taking short hikes to examine the volcanic terrain on Mount Etna and enjoy the views from its viewpoints. We will traverse wooded areas, visit inactive craters, and observe local fauna, including foxes, hedgehogs, weasels, porcupines, and shrews.

Next, we'll drive to Lido Aquarius in the town of Aci Castello. We'll don the snorkel equipment to dive into the Ionian Sea. Here, we will swim to the marine reserve on Cyclops Islands to explore the volcanic landscapes underwater and discover diverse marine life.

Finally, we will return to the mainland, concluding the tour at the starting point at 4:30 pm.
