Etna Helicopter Tour: Admire Forests, Lava Flows & Craters from 3500m

What a truly amazing experience! I couldn't recommend it more! From start to finish, it was absolutely perfect. Originally, our trip was rescheduled due to bad weather. Communication was great and we were rebooked and all sorted within an hour of the cancellation. On the day of the excursion, we were picked up in a luxury Mercedes by the wonderful Ali who was incredibly knowledgeable about Sicily-the perfect start to the overall experience. When we arrived at HeliSicily, Olga on reception was brilliant. We then went to meet the pilot, Marcello, at the helicopter for a safety briefing before heading off on the trip. We were incredibly lucky to see the lava flow from Etna as it was in eruption. The whole experience was absolutely jaw dropping!

Honestly, one of the best experiences in my life. Not just because of how beautiful everything was, Etna, the craters, the villages, the coastline from above, but also because of the people. Marcello, the pilot, was super professional, calm, and very charismatic:)The flight felt really smooth and comfortable the whole time. Olga, who helped to organize everything, was warm and welcoming, makes you feel comfortable and everything went easy and well organized. And also Ali (Tawfek) the driver, a true gentleman. Even with traffic, everything went perfectly, and he even dropped me at the station without me asking, which I really appreciated. Thank you so much for this experience, I would 100% recommend it (or do it again myself haha)

I treated myself to a helicopter tour with HeliSicily as a birthday present - and it was every bit as incredible as I imagined. If you're looking for something truly special, I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour over Mount Etna. It's not every day you get to experience something like this, and everything was perfectly organised, including the transfer, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout. Marcello (the pilot) made the flight feel safe and enjoyable. He also explained everything clearly during the flight, which made the experience even more interesting. Olga, who welcomed us, handled the paperwork, and guided us to and from the helicopter, was the sweetest, friendliest, and most cheerful person, making us feel instantly at ease. Ali, our driver, was a true gentleman and added to the overall excellent experience. This is the kind of experience that stays with you for a lifetime. Absolutely worth it!

Het was fantastisch. Opgehaald worden met een luxe auto met hele vriendelijke chauffeur was het begin was een ongelofelijke ervaring. Van begin tot het einde was het geweldig. Op de Etna lag nog sneeuw en dat maakte het zicht op de kraters geweldig. Het rood, groen, bruin en zwart, omringd door sneeuw en de rook uit de kraters vormde een prachtig schouwspel. Ik heb lang getwijfeld om de tour te boeken, maar ben zo blij dat ik dit toch gedaan heb.
