Donkeys are the best!

Had some great time with Salvo, Stella and Ronaldo in the beautiful forest at the feet of mount Etna. The wine and peaches were amazing. Thanks a lot, Salvo!

Wonderful experience

Sep 2023 • Keluarga

My two boys and I had the most wonderful experience on the donkey ride through the forests at Etna! This adventure not only allowed us to connect with nature but also provided a delightful tasting of fresh fruit and house wine. The instructor was incredibly friendly and shared fascinating information about the surroundings. What's more, the donkeys appeared to be happy, healthy, and well-treated, which added to the overall enjoyment of the experience. It's a fantastic outing for families and anyone seeking peace in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended!

This was fantastic. I saw this on Tripadvisor when we were already near Catania, and I booked it without my wife knowing to surprise her. Needless to say, she loved it.
Salvo will take you through his beautiful property, but he made the experience very spiritual and personal. Do yourself a favor: forget social media, the city, the stress, and take a journey through the real beauty of Sicily that is around us but we often forget about.

Great family experience

Jul 2023 • Keluarga

Beyond the things mentioned in other reviews (relaxing donkey ride, and Salvo's good philosophical advice), we want to add that he had great rapport with our kids (7 and 10). He was laughing and joking with them, and when our daughter was upset he immediately made her feel better. He managed sibling competitiveness really well. Thank you Salvo!

This wasn’t just another tour, this was very special and Salvo made our entire family feel so united. It was probably one of the best experiences we”ve had on any tour. First, your on the largest active volcano in Europe, Next your guided by a really genuine, good human being , who absolutely adores his land but more important he loves those animals, he respects them and immediately you know how close they are to him. There were 5 members of our family on this trip, my wife, my 3 daughters and myself. It was breathtaking the sunset, these beautiful 5 donkeys that completely love one another, there were two beautiful Labs (Chip & Chop) that guided the tour and Salvo who makes everyone feel so connected. There was a special moment with wine, in this beautiful 800 year old crater. I highly recommend taking the two hour tour it’s so worth it. Overall 5 Stars and we are so happy we were able to experience this. Once again thank you Salvo!

Immersive Experience

Jul 2023 • Keluarga

We went to the 1 hour tour with our 5 and 9 your old kids. Salvo was punctual to pick us up at our meeting point and immediately immersed us into his world. The donkeys are very well kept and are very obedient.
Salvo was especially taking really good care of our 5 year old son as he wasn't holding on well to the donkey, but at the end he really enjoyed it. Our 9 year old daughter was so thankful of this experience and she really enjoyed it too.
For us parents this experience really has no price tag as it is a one of a kind experience as it took is back to our younger days and calmed us down and made us appreciate how simple things can make us really happy.
I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone and would love to return myself if I get the chance.
Thanks Salvo!

A tranquil trek in idyllic and majestic surroundings.

Jul 2023

My wife, two kids and I were booked in for a late afternoon, two hour donkey tour.
Salvo our guide, accompanied by his daughter Vanessa, picked us up on time and drove us to his field where we were introduced to the donkeys - Stella and Nadia for my eldest and youngest respectively while his daughter rode atop Ronaldo. My wife and I opted to trek on foot.
After a quick briefing we set off through the Sicilian countryside accompanied by Salvo's two dogs - Cip e Cop (Chip & Chop), who led the way for what proved to be one of our most memorable adventures ever.
Salvo came across as a spiritual person who is in tune with the land and very knowledgeable on matters related to agriculture and the Sicilian ancestral way of life.
The trek took us through vineyards, olive trees, fields, garrigue and woodland, punctuated with frequent stops by the donkeys whose interpretation of a "trek" is more of a buffet consisting of any and all types of leaves and grass encountered along the way.
We were also lucky to be able to sample the first seasonal blackberries, as well as appreciate the tranquillity of our majestic surroundings whilst taking photos with
Mount Etna as a backdrop.
One of the highlights of the trek was a much awaited stop at a picturesque albeit abandoned inn, at which point Salvo produced a box of freshly sliced peaches, a couple of shot glasses and a bottle of his finest 2022 red wine (fresh, chilled water for the kids!) before demonstrating how to eat peaches the traditional way, by dipping a slice into the wine and keeping it submerged for a minute before consuming.
The trek came to an end with what proved to be an emotional and thought-provoking moment of personal reflection.
Thank you very much for the wholesome experience Salvo.
Looking forward for another trek next time we are in Sicily.
A presto!

Wonderful experience for our 6 year old

Jul 2023 • Keluarga

Our daughter loves animals and especially donkeys and horses. Salvo was the most amazing tour guide. He made everything exciting and fun for her and allowed her to ride independently while always making sure she was safe. She said this was the highlight of our 2 week vacation! The countryside was beautiful. No better way to see Etna than on donkeys with Salvo as our guide! Thank you

Fantastic family trip through the Aetna countryside!

Jun 2023 • Keluarga

We were staying in Taormina and it was great to get out in the countryside for this trip. The booking was easy, and Salvo met us on time to take us to the family farm. Everyone had a great time for 2 hours on the donkeys - including an 11 yo and 18 yo. There were a couple of breaks to get off and have a drink and snack. The landscape is breathtaking and peaceful. The donkeys were charmingly stubborn and hungry. It’s clear that Salvo, Giusy and family have a deep love for their historic family farm and they genuinely want everyone to have a great time and appreciate it too. It was everything we were hoping for.

On the practical side, I would recommend wearing long, durable pants and shoes, since some parts of the trail are narrow and the vegetation can scrape up your legs.

We were a group of 15 including children and adults. There were seven donkeys. We paid euro 25 each for seven people and euro 5 each for the the other eight. The tour was supposed to be 1 hour but we had at least 90 minutes.

You can email them directly by pulling the email from the Contact section of Trip advisor. They also have a website so if you google Etna Donkey Trekking you will see it.

Is there something for a six year old to enjoy with donkey trekking? How long is the trip and are there different lengths of time? I'd like to take my grandson soon.

There are 11 of us, can Salvo manage that many at one time on one trip?

Unfortunately not. He ”only” has 7/8 donkeys. Maybe you can split up your group and then it’s feasible. Or some can walk along with him (he himself is not on the donkey). They are basically moving at walking speed.
