Activity Details
Adventure lovers, welcome to Vulcano Island! At the appointed time, we'll meet in front of the Geco bar to start a fascinating trekking route to climb up to the Great Crater. Let the adventure begin!
We'll start walking to the heart of the island to discover the fascinating history and geology of this amazing corner of Sicily. During this low-difficulty trekking route, we'll enjoy breathtaking views of the Aeolian archipelago. We'll even be able to see Lipari and Salina.
Did you know that, according to mythology, the god Vulcan had his forge here? When we reach the Great Crater, we'll have the opportunity to see the fumaroles of this active volcano.
