Everything you need to know before planning a quad bike tour

Quad bikes belong to the category of ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles). Their characteristics allow stable and safe driving on all kinds of terrain. In fact, quad bikes are especially popular for off-road tours on dirt roads and nature trails.

Outdoor centers in Sicily offer quad bike tours of different levels: from short scenic tours for beginners to more technical and adrenaline-pumping routes for the more experienced. To drive a quad bike you must have a B license. Two people can ride in a vehicle, with the possibility of sharing driving. Children are also allowed to ride on the quad bikes as passengers.

For a quad bike excursion, it is recommended to wear comfortable clothing that can get dirty. Taking place mainly on dirt road, through muddy sections and streams to be forded, it is impossible to stay clean. The use of a mask or bandana to cover the nose and mouth and avoid breathing in the dust that rises from the ground is also recommended.

The best excursions in Sicily: a tour of Etna by quad bike

Among the many striking locations in Sicily, the best quad bike tours are offered in the northwestern area of the provinces of Messina and Catania, between Mount Etna and the Alcantara Gorges.

For a quad bike tour on Etna, it is possible to start from Motta Camastra and head to Castiglione di Sicilia and Linguaglossa. From here you begin to climb up the Etnean slopes, crossing lava flow formations and flows of magma and debris. As you reach the summit craters, you are immersed in a “moonscape,” typical of volcanic environments. At an elevation of about 2,000 meters (6,000 feet ) there is a splendid view of the sea and other Sicilian mountains.

Quad bike tours to the Alcantara Gorges

The Alcantara Gorges, not far from Mount Etna, are another popular destination for those choosing a quad bike tour in Sicily. It is a volcanic canyon formed by the erosion of lava rocks by the waters of the Alcantara River. Starting from Motta Camastra, it is possible to explore the entire Alcantara Valley to discover unique landscapes.

A quad bike tour to the Alcantara Gorges is an experience suitable for everyone. You can take a 1-hour scenic tour or a half-day tour to explore not only the volcanic gorges but also the surrounding area. In fact, the entire valley is characterized by the intense colors and scents of Mediterranean vegetation and offers truly striking views.
