Etna Family Tour
There may be no better place on the planet for an intimate encounter between children and Mamma Etna volcano Natural Park. Here in the center of Mediterranean Sea, between European and African plates, the magic of nature is palpable, as it can be incredible to feel the hit of the ground, walk around craters and into the volcano through the marvellous lava tubes with helmets and torches … and if you’ll be lucky … we will enjoy the molten magma flow and puffing craters.
Mount Etna and Esplora360 an apt name for a destination that is sure to create family memories that can truly be found nowhere else in the world! Thus, Our Guides Truly Love Kids! Etna for Family offered by “Continente Sicilia” and “Esplora360” is widely recognised for employing a peerless group of staff naturalists. What you may not know, though, is that their enthusiasm for sharing their in-depth knowledge of nature with kids is just as strong as with our adult guests, if not even more! In fact, our professional guides are an integral key to the success of our Etna for Family Tour. They apply to rigorous guide training and they are also chosen for their ease with children and ability to relate to younger travellers. Not everybody loves kids…but we sure do!
