Etna Travel Service represents a well-established entity in the Sicilian tourism landscape, specializing in excursions on the majestic Mount Etna, particularly on the north side. Founded thanks to the determination and passion of Pietro Malfitana, the company boasts almost four decades of experience in the tourist transport sector.
The Story of Sicilian Excellence
The company originated from the entrepreneurial vision of Pietro Malfitana, who dedicated himself enthusiastically to the tourist transport sector from a young age. Over the years, professionalism, passion, and customer dedication have become the hallmarks of this entity, which has earned customer trust and built a solid reputation in the industry.
An important turning point was the entry into the company of his sons Christian and Alessandro, whose energy and innovative ideas gave new impetus to the family business. This combination of historical experience and fresh perspectives has allowed Etna Travel Service to continue growing and developing increasingly ambitious projects.

Innovation and Specialization
Since 2021, Etna Travel Service has expanded its offerings by introducing passenger transport services with 4×4 off-road vehicles to the summit areas of the Etna North side, up to an altitude of 3,000 meters. For this service, the company uses special vehicles specifically designed for volcanic terrain, including 20-seater Mercedes Sprinters and 34-seater Torsus Praetorians.
A distinctive element of the offered excursions is the constant presence of Alpine or Volcanological Guides, who ensure high safety standards and enrich the experience with professional explanations about the territory and volcanic phenomena.
Company Philosophy
The philosophy guiding Etna Travel Service is based on fundamental principles such as continuous innovation, attention to detail, and customer care. The company firmly believes that job satisfaction and overall business growth can only derive from customer satisfaction.
This approach, combined with deep knowledge of the Etna territory and a passion for the volcano, has allowed Etna Travel Service to establish itself as a point of reference for those wishing to discover the natural wonders of Etna in safety and comfort.
In almost forty years of activity, Etna Travel Service has managed to evolve and renew itself, always keeping the enhancement of Sicilian natural heritage and the offer of unforgettable experiences for visitors to Europe's highest volcano at the core of its mission.
