4.Etna Helicopter Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 35 reviews · 30 minutes (approx.)

You’ll fly privately over Mount Etna with a pilot such as Marcello and, when arranged, guidance from Antonio or Sofia. The 30-minute route covers the northern ski resort, Silvestri and Sartorius craters, the Valle del Bove, historic lava flows, Zafferana, Giarre, and Riposto.

“Despite the clouds that prevented us from flying over the crater, the experience delighted us. Antonio took us around Mount Etna and what a magnificent and magnificent spectacle to discover from above all these lava flows and multiple secondary craters. it really allows us to take the measure of the entire volcanic area, a real plus compared to a hike, necessarily limited geographically. I can't recommend it enough.Auto-translated”
