Etna on a quad bike is the kind of plan that changes your Sicily day. You’ll churn up and down volcanic dirt tracks, then look out over valleys and vineyards from high on the mountain. Two things I really like:…

Dolphins at sunset off Taormina. This Giardini Naxos Taormina boat tour mixes Isola Bella views with cave stops and a golden-hour sail back toward Etna. The price (about $57) buys you more than scenery: you get a guided cruise, a…

Etna hits different when you have a guide. This half-day small-group trip takes you up around 2000 meters, threads through craters and lava fields, then finishes with a farm tasting in the morning light. It also helps you avoid the…
Salt turns a Sicilian walk into a science lesson. Here you follow the edges of the Culcasi salt pans, where sea, clay, and pale salt create a real-life color chart, and the guide explains how the whole system works. I…
Etna and wine in one wild day. This private outing from Taormina pairs Mt. Etna crater viewpoints with a winery lunch and tastings, plus a honey stop on Etna’s slope. It’s a long, scenic day, but the pace and driving…
