Stromboli from
the helicopter
Helicopter tours add a new dimension to your "volcano" experience;
you can see things from the air that are invisible or look
completely different from the surface. One of
the features that make Etna and the other sicilian volcanoes so
spectacular is the ever-changing and breathtaking vistas.
Landscapes range from lush pine and birch wood to dry arid black
lava deserts to snow topped mountains to wonderful
mediterranean sea. Sicily is a feast for the eyes. Full of greens,
blues, and wonders that make for wonderful memories. One of the
best ways to enjoy the natural wonders of Sicily and its volcanoes
to the fullest is with a helicopter ride. Every island offers them
and every island has something special to offer.
A helicopter trip of the mount Etna, Stromboli Island or Vulcano
Island will include a bird's eye view of the craters. Every trip
offers views that will stay in your heart forever. The sweeping
views of Bove Valley (Huge Etna's caldera) are truly
spectacular.
Be aware that helicopter company may cancel
trips due to weather, so it is best to book for an early departure,
so you can make or pursue alternate plans early in the day in case
of a cancellation. There is no need to take the longer tours, it is
overkill and the extra money is best spent on other VolcanoTrek
activities. And, finally, don't forget to bring your camera. Even
if you are not the picture taking type, buy a disposable and snap
away. This experience will last a lifetime!
