    Sean

    Asked on February 2nd, 2026

    Does the Sicily Grand tour Walking and Hiking include a hike on Mt. Etna?

    Tour Details
    • Caspin JourneysOperator•Written February 2026

      We do not climb Etna any more. We used to, but we found that it was always tuch and go weather we could go up on the day so we have decided no longer to do this.

      What we do now instead, which we think is much more exciting, is climb up the vulvano on the island of Vulcano, when we go to the Aeolian island. We go all the way up to the crater, which is a fantastic experience, with just unbelievable views of all the islands around. We also climb to the top of Panarea, the other aeolian island we go to, and spend two nights on. This is technically another vulcano as well, although the heart of the caldera is actually under water.

      Traveler•Written January 2025

      Do you still have any availability for the 10/19/25 departure date? We were hoping to join the early Oct trip but see it is already sold out...do you get cancellations?

    • Caspin JourneysOperator•Written January 2025

      Unfortunately there is only 1 space left on the 10/19/2025 departure, and it sounds like you might be 2? All our other Sicily tours for 2025 are fully booked as well. I can put you on a waitlist, but to be perfectly honest we rarely get cancellations.
