Useful information before planning a quad bike tour of Etna
The quad bike belongs to the ATV (All Terrain Vehicles) category and can be driven by anyone with a B license. It is not necessary to be an experienced driver, as the routes differ in level and difficulty. Many outdoor centers offer tours suitable even for beginners, as long as you are well-equipped with a spirit of adventure and a desire for fun!
The quad bike is the ideal vehicle for those who want to try off-road driving and venture out on dirt tracks and trails of all kinds. Therefore, if you are planning to go on a quad bike tour, dress comfortably, wear long pants and sneakers, and choose clothing that can get dirty. You will hardly get off the quad bike without some mud splashes on you! It is a good idea to also carry a bandana to cover your mouth and avoid breathing in the dust that rises from the ground.
Quad bike tours in Sicily: discovering the hidden beauty of Etna
A tour of Mount Etna by quad bike is a breathtaking experience. Starting at the foot of the volcano, we drive up the slopes through solidified lava flows and caves created by magma and debris. All around, the dark earth contrasts with the deep green of the vegetation and the blue of the sky.
The “moonscapes,” typical of volcanic environments, make the scenery truly striking. Depending on the chosen route, you can reach the summit craters and enjoy splendid views of the coast and other mountain ranges of Sicily.
Tours of the Alcantara Gorges
In addition to Etna, the territory of northeastern Sicily holds another natural wonder: the Alcantara Gorges. It is a canyon carved into the lava rocks by the waters of the Alcantara River. Due to its beauty and distinctiveness, this place attracts many tourists every year and offers opportunities for various activities. Hiking trails, canyoning, body rafting and quad tours are among the most popular experiences.
Quad bike tours on Etna: how much do they cost?
Prices for quad bike excursions on Etna and the Alcantara Gorges range from 50 to 150 euros per quad (two participants can travel on each bike). Rates vary according to duration, route characteristics, and starting point.

An unforgettable year-end on Etna!
There were 6 of us, our first experience with the quad bike: it was great! We chose the last tour of the year, on 31 December at 3 p.m. We arrived by taxi from Nicolosi to the meeting point (+ or - Rifugio Sapienza area), and were welcomed by the guys from the staff, who were friendly and super helpful. Once we set off, we immediately got familiar with the vehicles, and shortly afterwards it started snowing, making the atmosphere magical! Almost at the end of the excursion, we stopped on Etna's lava flow, all whitewashed, to celebrate the end of the year, complete with panettone and mulled wine. On the way back, it was snowing heavily and our taxi could not pick us up: the guys, who were very kind, drove us back to the holiday home themselves, saving us from an uncomfortable situation. In short, an experience we won't forget, with super friendly staff who put you at ease!

Wonderful experience! I would have appreciated a few more stops along the way with perhaps some anecdotes, but even as it is, it is so worth it!

Not to be missed!
Absolutely a fantastic experience to have if you love sports and the outdoors. Our guide Giovanni was very friendly and managed to reconcile 'theory' with 'pragmatics': we crossed dirt tracks with the quad bike and stopped from time to time to listen to his stories about events in the area. We were delighted, we recommend it to everyone!
