Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment inside the cave?
Navigating the multiple levels of Grotta dei Tre Livelli means crawling and climbing through narrow volcanic passages formed by ancient lava flows. The tight sections and total darkness are the peak of the experience.
Do you need prior caving experience?
No. The excursion is rated "Occasionally sporty", meaning it involves some physical effort on uneven lava terrain, but no technical climbing skills are required.
How long are you actually underground?
The full excursion runs 5 hours, which includes travel, briefing and time inside the cave. The underground section itself varies depending on the group's pace and conditions on the day.
Is pickup available from Taormina or Catania?
Yes. Sicilia Adventure picks up from accommodations along the Ionian Riviera between Taormina and Catania, and from the eastern flank of Etna. You can also meet the group at Piazza Umberto in Zafferana Etnea.

Practical info

Season

All year

Equipment

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes with ankle support for walking on jagged lava rock, and bring a warm layer since volcanic cave temperatures drop significantly regardless of surface conditions. The "Occasionally sporty" rating and 5h duration mean you'll want clothing you can move freely in.

Getting there

Pickup is available from accommodations along the Ionian Riviera (from Taormina to Catania) and from the Etna eastern flank area, or meet directly at Piazza Umberto in Zafferana Etnea.
