What to expect

Cruising by the iconic Isola Bella at sunset, with an aperitif in hand, you'll really take your holiday to the next level. And that's just the first part of the trip. Once you've admired the coastline, you'll be whisked further from the coast to the Isola Bella marine reserve. Here, we'll begin our search for dolphins - if we are lucky enough to spot a group, we will approach cautiously so we can observe them without disturbing them.

    It was not worth the money. Did not see the dolphins, and however that is understandable and no fault of the crew, it is advertised with free aperitivo and drinks, which was absolutely not worth the money and nothing italian about it. Having a nice drink and nibbles would have made the experience nice even without the dolphins.

    Very unclear where/who we had to meet for the trip. The chap on the motorbike should have had a TUI sign. Great boatman. Lucky with the dolphins....but had we had less luck it would have been less memorable. Nice opportunity to see the caves and Isola Bella

    Het leuke was, dat we toch dat we dolfijnen hadden gespot,en de gids deed zijn best om het leuk te maken. Minder leuk was de boot, deze was klein en je had weinig bewegingsruimte. Denk dat zwemvesten ook geen overbodige luxe zou zijn.

    En helt fantastisk guide / bådfører, som gav os en behagelig og tryg tur med plads til historier og grin. Jeg undrede mig over, at der ikke var redningsveste synlige, men for os var det helt ok at ‘slippe’ for det. Vi fik en god snack og aperol og så masser af delfiner. Turen oversteg vores forventninger.

Mount Etna guided sunset tour with Sicilian dinner
Excursions & day trips

Mount Etna guided sunset tour with Sicilian dinner

Watching the sky light up with shades of orange and then burn out into darkness while standing atop a volcano is a special sensation. This drama-rich tour takes you to Mount Etna – a must-visit when in Sicily. You'll head to an altitude of almost 3,000 metres to catch the sunset and then relax over a traditional meal to round off your adventure. You'll go by minibus to Etna, then, as the terrain becomes rockier, you'll switch to a 4x4 vehicle. As you make your way to 2,900m above sea level – the highest point that's safely reachable – there'll be stops to take in the harsh, lunar landscape and the lava-smothered flanks of this towering mountain. Make sure you're wearing comfortable walking shoes and warm layers – it gets cold at high altitude. After admiring the views from near the summit, an expert alpine guide will take you to a less exposed 2,500m, where you'll watch the sunset in a more comfortable location. Then on the way back, you'll stop at a chalet restaurant for a typical Sicilian dinner.
