Even better than expected - We loved our excursion, it was even better than expected. Our guide Pepe was very knowledgeable and kind. Before booking we were considering going up by ourselves and stop at 2900 meter but are SO GLAD we did this tour. I honestly feel it’s a completely different experience being able to go up to 3300 meters. We could hear the volcano growling and the lava spouting up but didn’t feel unsafe at any point - Pepe was great. I would say the hike was slightly more intens than expected with steep declines but as long as you’re reasonably fit it shouldn’t be an issue - it only made it more fun for us. Highly recommend!!!

Etna Sunset Hike - I was lucky enough to be part a couple of days ago with my partner on the guided tour of Etna with the wonderful light of sunset. Already at the briefing we realized the professionalism of the Ashara team for the wealth of information provided and punctuality. Very well equipped mobile office where we took all the necessary equipment. The path offers very interesting insights from the beginning, the guide Max is super skilled and hempath and his enthusiasm is contagious. Panorama changes as you go up in altitude and each time is a different show: we met old castings, fractures that can be crossed inside with the helmet, huge extinct craters, fumaroles and gas and steam spills, while the wind whistling among the rocks. It was truly an enthusiastic experience that we recommend to everyone, we came back home with eyes full of beauty and the heart full of gratitude for the day spent with Ashara!
