Etna Jeep Tour & Snorkeling
At 8.30 am, we'll meet on Via Provinciale in Catania, where we'll hop on an all-terrain vehicle to head for the Etna Natural Park. Ready to explore one of Italy's most famous volcanoes?
During this tour, we'll alternate between sitting on the jeep and going for short hikes to explore in-depth the volcanic terrain in Mount Etna and admire the incredible views from its viewpoints. We'll traverse wooded areas, see inactive craters, and admire the local fauna - foxes, hedgehogs, weasels, porcupines, shrews, and many other species live in this nature reserve.
Next, we'll drive to Lido Aquarius, located in the town of Aci Castello. We'll put on the snorkel equipment to dive into the Ionian Sea waters. Here, we'll also swim to the marine reserve on Cyclops Islands to admire the incredible volcanic landscapes underwater and discover its diverse wildlife.
