Through air, fire & water
Sicily and the Aeolian Islands are united in their otherworldly volcanic origins, with each region offering a unique set of cultural and natural wonders. This 8-day journey combines must-see sites on Sicily's mainland and the UNESCO-protected landscapes of Salina, Stromboli, Vulcano and Lipari—with a scenic helicopter ride setting course to the land of volcanoes. Marvel at the lava fireworks sputtering out of Mount Stromboli from your private boat, hike to lunar landscapes on Mount Etna, and cap off your Sicilian sojourn in chic Taormina, where you'll soon understand its reputation as the world's most sought-after destination since Roman times.

The walking on Salina has options for easy or more challenging and varying terrain, predominately featuring dirt paths running through the countryside. The hiking on Etna is exposed with loose gravel and gentle climbing (we don’t start at the bottom!). Daily distances range from 7 to 10 km (4.3 to 6 mi.) with limited van support (which is why we have different options on Salina). Biking in Sicily offers rolling terrain with some elevation gains on the mainland of 350 to 450 m (1,115 to 1.485 ft.). Distances are typically 25 to 50 km (16 to 30 mi.) with extra options for van use. We will offer transfers to get any hills out of the way, and the island of Lipari is e-bike only (or you can opt for a few hours of kayaking).
