Despite the clouds that prevented us from flying over the crater, the experience delighted us. Antonio took us around Mount Etna and what a magnificent and magnificent spectacle to discover from above all these lava flows and multiple secondary craters. it really allows us to take the measure of the entire volcanic area, a real plus compared to a hike, necessarily limited geographically. I can't recommend it enough.

What an experience!!! From the Welcoming to the activity everything was perfect!!! Often asked about the fact that a tourist activity is worthwhile and there from the first minutes with the driver we understand that we made the right choice, again thank you to the whole team for this extraordinary experience!! Thanks to our pilot Marcello
Great experience with our pilot Marcello. Flying safely over craters for a show of beauty Must do
A totally magical moment with our guide Antonio who commented on the dazzling views of Mount Etna and its many surrounding craters. We took full eyes with the chance to have had a very favorable weather. Thanks to our pilot Marcello who put us at ease right away. Thank you to Antonio for his very kindness during our exchanges before the excusrion. A moment of pure happiness not to be missed under any pretext! A presto Antonio;-)
An unforgettable moment! Impressive views, high quality explanations, impeccable hospitality and communication! Recommended!
Magic moment!!!! Incredible view, beautiful scenery, views of craters, lava flows. 30 minutes of pure happiness. Undoubtedly one of the best moments of our lives.
Very nice flight, interesting explanations of the guide, all the necessary information (meeting place,...) are transmitted in time.
We had an extraordinary experience this morning during the flight. Thank you very much. Marcello our driver was really top, the ride was beautiful. We took a lot of eyes. And thank you very much for allowing us to have a guide. Sofia was great. Friendly, available, enthusiastic, she taught us a lot and shared her love of her land. This has been a real added value. Thank you all for this flight and this unique experience Thank you again.
Exceptional and unforgettable experience organized by Antonio. Our couple and our two children had the joy of being driven by Marcello who speaks English and French and who is also a great guide and very pedagogue, and who was able to answer all our questions. I would also like to emphasize the smooth and smooth handling of my son in a wheelchair.
Very nice flight, good reception at the hotel. The pilot is Francophone. The flight was possible after a thorough analysis of the weather and visibility.
Great experience for adults! As it moved quite a bit the 7 year olds did not feel too good! Apparently it's not too advisable for another 10 years because of the inner ear. But frankly it's unforgettable. l'Etna we love!!!! It is beautiful!!!! 😍
Etna at sunset! What a magnificent view! With the bonus of the explanations of our Guide! Thank you Antonio and Marcello for this amazing experience!
Extraordinary adventure! Sofia, the Guide, is very relevant and the pilot, Marcello, is very friendly. We flew over one of the craters of Mount Etna and observed the eruption of Stromboli, absolutely beautiful! To be done once in a lifetime!
Antonio kept us informed all the time and especially when our flight had to be cancelled and rescheduled. Our Francophone Guide was just exceptional and so was the pilot!
Very nice experience shared with our Guide, Sofia, and the pilot, Marcello, who knew how to be considerate, attentive to each and very welcoming. Sofia was able to share her knowledge of Sicily and her passionate attachment to her island. At the Pension, the welcome was also very warm. Finally, during the flight, we were treated to projections of lava: icing on the cake. In short, a beautiful moment, unforgettable in a very nice and pleasant atmosphere. Thank you to the whole team for this beautiful memory. 😊
Grand tour of Etna at Stromboli and fly over the Aeolian Islands absolutely magnificent Our Guide and Driver Were Perfect We break his piggy bank but it's so beautiful!
Great experience. From the phone call to the reception to the pilot’s explanations throughout the flight, everything was at its best. Many thanks for an unforgettable experience. All in French. A big thank you and a huge memory.
Superb flight with Antonio who knows the volcano like the back of his hand and popularizes his science very well. Marcello is an excellent pilot and satisfies the curiosity of aviation enthusiasts. I recommend 100%!
First time in a helicopter and not at all disappointed. The views were impressive. The pilot at the top, he took the time to explain the history of the volcano to us. 👍🏻
1st helicopter ride for each of us. Fabulous experience thanks to our pilot Marcello! Thank you for this unforgettable memory
We chose the helicopter flight over Etna directly on the “etna3340” website: it was a very, very good choice!! Our contact by email (in French) was Antonio: he gave us all the information and information necessary to schedule / adjust our 20-minute flight from the heliport (a secure area at 600m altitude, on the north-facing slope). is 35 minutes by car from Giardini-Naxos where we had our hotel). We were really enchanted by this flight with the pilot, Piero, who speaks French and gave us information about Etna throughout the journey...it was magical and above all...to see the smoking craters beneath snow: under a clear blue sky on this morning of April 25, 2024....a dream come true!! Thanks to the whole team !!
A must do. Breathtaking views of Etna. To combine with a hike (We did the west face with the children)
Perfect, very precise, complete explanations with lots of teaching. And Antonio speaks perfect French
We took advantage of very good weather for the flight over Etna. It was superb! The French-speaking pilot was perfect.
Superb discovery of Etna! The driver Marcello is really professional and friendly. He speaks French very well and gave us very good explanations during the flight.
An experience forever engraved in our memories, the flight over Etna is magical, getting so close to the craters of this active volcano gave us unforgettable emotions. It was impressive, magnificent, and so moving. Our pilot was excellent with his explanations throughout the flight. The welcome on arrival was also perfect!
In a word: MAGIC! Exceptional tour of Etna with Marcelo, an exceptional French-speaking pilot: funny, calm, cultivated. A joy to listen to…and breathtaking views. Admiring the smoking craters of Etna will stay in our memories forever. Thanks to you, my son had an unforgettable birthday. GRAZY!!!!!
EXTRAORDINARY just a wonderful time spent with family and the possibility to visit Etna otherwise. Marcello is a very friendly pilot and explains himself with a perfect French. Many thanks for this wonderful adventure!
We had booked the tour of Etna and the Aeolian Islands, well took us because Etna was Covered with clouds but the route was fairytale: the sky you discover the impressive lava flows, the perched villages, the coast, the Lipari Islands, Vulcano, Stromboli... The pilot turns in both directions around the most interesting sites so that everyone can have a better view and our guide gives even more meaning to the excursion with his explanations in French, his anecdotes and legends. Exchanges with Antonio, Etna 3340 were easy and numerous to prepare the activity. There were 5, a larger helicopter was booked. We were supposed to fly on Monday but two days before Antonio warned us that the weather conditions would be bad that day (thunderstorms) and we agreed on another day for the flight. A magical moment, for us the most significant experience of our stay.
Availability of Antonio before the flight Skill and kindness of Piero the pilot on the day of flight helped make this experience a great time! Stunning views of Etna and the Summits
An incredible and unique experience. The team was very professional. We highly recommend a guide that makes the experience even more complete. We enjoyed Isabella who was our guide.
Excellent Customer Service. Antonio very quickly contacted me after my booking, letting me know that he was available if needed. At the time of our flight, it was raining but a favorable weather window was likely if we waited a little. Antonio took the time to tell us and explain the volcanoes, which was very interesting. We were then able to fly and I thank the whole team for allowing this experience as it was the first flight for my daughters who simply loved it.
Our flight was really amazing. We flew at sunset. Our photos are beautiful. Thank you for this magical and unforgettable moment.
Really Customer Service, superb Etna flyover, perfect flight. Antonio speaks French, which can be useful.
we booked a group flight without a guide. From Claudio we were picked up on time at the hotel and during the drive to the starting place we got so much interesting information that we no longer needed a guide! The flight itself was spectacular, we enjoyed going around Etna 3 times, so everyone had time to look and take photos. We can recommend this adventure to anyone, it is worth it.
