Excursion Details
Your Etna wine tour from shore excursion begins, when your guide meets you at the Catania port terminal. After a scenic drive through the Sicilian countryside and up the slopes of Mount Etna, we reach our first stop:

Equipped with helmets and torches, you’ll enter a volcanic lava tube formed by centuries-old eruptions. Inside, your guide will explain how these tunnels were created and how Mount Etna continues to shape the island's landscape. This is one of the few Etna tours from cruise port that includes an authentic lava cave experience.
