Tours at Mt Etna

Since Etna has been VERY active lately, I wouldn't count on tours.

Well that's not necessarily true. We've gone to other erupting volcanoes, Iceland and Hawaii while there was quite a bit of lava flow. It all depends on where the eruption is happening and what the particular consequences are. Which is why I'm hoping somebody that's recently gone or is there will give a shout out as to what the conditions seem to be.

I have a gastronomic/winery tour on the slopes of Etna booked for next April with the company Sicily Life, who I've used in the past and are fantastic. When booking, I asked about the recent eruptions and they seemed unconcerned. We'll see!

Thanks i'll check with them!

We were there during an eruption with ash clouds severe enough to disrupt air traffic and dust coating everything downwind daily. The locals referred to it as Mama Etna fertilizing the land, not with a fear of destruction.
