What a great, relaxed day this was. So hard to choose from a sofa in the UK but this was definitely the right choice. A warm welcome and interested Etna guide to start us off. Despite doing this daily Horacio didn’t show any signs of repetition or boredom but a love of his country and environment. We were welcomed back to the dive shop where we were able to eat our lunch and change in privacy before the wonders of snorkeling. Loved by us all, beautiful fish and lava rocks. Could have done it for hours! Thank you Gerry. Alongside this there were some great tips of further things to do in the area that were appreciated and used. Thank you all at Etna and Sea.

Io e mia moglie abbiamo fatto una mattina la gita in barca ad Aci Trezza e le isole dei ciclopi, ed il giorno seguente siamo andati a vedere il tramonto sull'Etna. Due esperienze diverse, ma magnifiche. - nella prima è stato un bel giretto intorno alle isole dei ciclopi, le guide Andrea e Jerry sono state molto competenti a spiegarci tutto: come è nato l'Etna e con le sue eruzioni ha praticamente formato le rocce dove secoli dopo la gente ha costruito i paesi. Le leggende su Polifemo ed Ulisse, e sui tipi di pesce che avremmo visto facendo snorkeling. Premetto che noi non siamo dei gran nuotatori, ma Jerry ha avuto tanta pazienza e ci ha dato i Co siglo giusti per affrontare in maniera giusta questa attività, e dopo qualche minuto di adattamento io e mia moglie siamo riusciti a goderci i fondali (aiutati dal salvagente). - escursione sull'Etna con Orazio, divertentissima, anch'esso è una guida molto preparata e simpatica. Ci siamo goduti la giornata come se fossimo un gruppo di amici di vecchia data. Da segnalare anche una tappa dove abbiamo fatto degustazioni di oli extravergine di oliva, vini e altri prodotti, presso una impresa locale alle pendici del vulcano. L'Etna è indescrivibile... È come andare in montagna, troverete un bel bosco, tanto verde (non lo avrei mai detto), si raggiunge quota 2000 metri come sulle dolomiti, troverete negozi di souvenir, bar e ristoranti dove mangiare e fare rifornimento. Il tutto su una cornice unica, con i suoi lapilli, colate e crateri, vi sembrerà di essere su un altro pianeta. Se siete in gita da queste parti non fate la cavolata di visitare solo i paesi! Mettete assolutamente in preventivo di fare queste 2 gite e di farlo con questi ragazzi! Sono stati i soldi meglio spesi della nostra vacanza!!!

Wel even moeten zoeken hoe we dit konden boeken voor 2personen. Na te bellen met de telefoonnr was alles vlot geregeld. We werden afgehaald aan onze B&B en hadden een super goede lokale gids. We hebben een zeer goede uitleg gekregen en hadden een hele gevarieerde dag! Een echte aanrader voor zij die zowel van de zee als het berglandschap houden! We kregen ook de kans om te proeven van honing en wijn. Alles werd coronaproef geregeld!
