Pantelleria excursions with Peppe D'Aietti: authentic trekking through nature, volcanoes, and history.

Published on: 17-01-2026 If you're looking for truly "local" excursions in Pantelleria—ones where you don't just walk but also understand where you've ended up—then it's worth getting to know Peppe D'Aietti, one of the island's most accredited guides.

Pantelleria is a complex and surprising island: high-altitude forests, lava flows, extinct craters, prehistoric sites, and panoramas that change at every turn. The right experience, with the right guide, lets you see much more in less time.

What types of excursions can you take with Peppe?
On the Pantelleria Experience portal or app, you'll find various Terra Experiences guided by Peppe, with a naturalistic, geological, and often historical-cultural focus.

Here are the most iconic ones (the ones that make sense even if you're only on Pantelleria for a few days):

1) Montagna Grande: the "roof" of the island
This is the panoramic hike par excellence: you walk through the evergreen forest and climb towards the Montagna Grande area, up to the most scenic points on the island (here Pantelleria "opens up" before your eyes). On the website, you'll find the duration and practical advice (shoes, water, hat, etc.). Cost? €30 per person. Here's the link to book: https://pantelleriaexperience.it/it/experiences-item/montagna_grande.il_tetto_dell_isola-108?dataDa=2026-06-12&pax=1

2) Gelfisèr Canyon: "In the footsteps of the bandits"
If you're looking for something more adventurous, this is a gem: a trek into a canyon (cool even in summer), on rocky terrain, in a volcanic setting, with a narration that intertwines nature and local history. One of the most beautiful experiences in Pantelleria. Cost? €35 per person - Here's the link for details and to book: https://pantelleriaexperience.it/it/experiences-item/canyon_di_gelfiser.sulle_orme_dei_briganti-166?dataDa=2026-06-12&pax=1

3) In the footsteps of history: Sesi, Muro Alto, Sese Grande - Archaeological excursion
Here you enter the most ancient part of Pantelleria: a "zero-kilometer" route (logistically easy) that touches areas and structures linked to the Sesi people and the ancient necropolis, as well as the site's remains (a Bronze Age village, the tallest dry stone wall in Europe, and the Sese Grande). It's ideal if you want an excursion that leaves you with stories to share, not just photos. Cost? €30

4) Mediterranean Stonehenge: history, stones, and unique views
An out-of-the-ordinary excursion that takes you to discover one of Pantelleria's most evocative megalithic formations: the so-called Mediterranean Stonehenge.
This site, characterized by large stone blocks arranged in patterns that evoke ancient alignments, represents a perfect blend of nature, archaeology, and mystery—a place that captures the imagination and curiosity. Cost? €30.

Who are these excursions recommended for?
These experiences are perfect if:

- you have 3–7 days and want to squeeze in a few well-planned excursions around Pantelleria

- you enjoy trekking but don't want to waste time improvising

- you want to alternate between land and sea (windy days included)

Note: Some excursions on the portal indicate restrictions (e.g., small children/four-legged friends) depending on the route, so it's always worth reading the details before booking.

How to book (without any strange twists and turns)
The most convenient thing is that these excursions can be booked on the Pantelleria Experience portal: choose the date, read the practical information (meeting point, duration, what to bring), and book in just a few seconds.

👉 If you want to start from the "menu", go to the Terra Experience section and open the guided tours by Peppe D'Aietti. Or click here 👉 https://pantelleriaexperience.it/it/experiences-cat/terra_experience-7
