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.

How much does a quad bike ride in Sicily cost?

Prices for a quad bike excursion in Sicily depend on the starting location, the type of route and its length. These range from 50 euros for a basic tour of the Alcantara Gorges to 150 euros for a half-day tour of Mount Etna. These prices refer to the rental of a quad bike for two people and the guided excursion.

Gift a quad bike tour in Sicily

Are you tired of the usual gifts and looking for something really special for your partner’s, family member’s or best friend’s next birthday? A quad bike excursion will be an unforgettable experience that can provide unique emotions and moments in the midst of nature. For motoring enthusiasts, then, a quad bike tour is an especially welcome experience because it gives them a way to have fun driving on routes that are not for everyone!

18 Oct 2023 | 1-hour quad tour to the Alcantara Gorges

A creat tour and overal experience

One day before the trip I booked (around 21:30) and me father and I couldn't make it by bus all the way to the meeting point. I sent a WhatsApp to the organization and almost immediately I got a message back. They could pick is up from the nearest bus station for free or pick is up at the hotel and bring is back. The price would be 50% of the local taxi prices. We went with the first option and when we were arrived at the busstation he would be there in 20/25 min. He gave us a few tips to do while we were waiting. When we finally arrived at the location we got the big ATV and it was amazing. It says on hour, but it felt and was more than 1,5 hour. Don't expect the prettiest sightseeing but riding the ATV itself was amazing and I would do it again!

19 Aug 2023 | Quad tour in Ribera from the Castle to the Sea

Fantastic day

Fantastic day. We had a lot of fun, we rode on routes and paths that were also challenging at times, surrounded by greenery and breathtaking views, but always in complete safety, considering that I also had my 6-year-old son on board. The owners were always at our side for any eventuality, guiding us in manoeuvres and accompanying us with their sympathy, but without detracting from the fun and some gas (once familiar with the vehicle). Highly recommended. My wife is already thinking about restarting for next year :-)

Really top. I would give it 7 out of 5 stars if I could.

I would give it 7 out of 5 stars if I could. The experience was absolutely fabulous. We rode through groves, took dirt and paved roads, both sloping and flat, passed through the small village of San Mauro Castelverde, had the opportunity to meet some local private farmers who kindly welcomed us and offered us food. Last but not least, a huge thank you to our guide! Mauro was very kind, funny, polite and was always ready to help if we needed it. Really top notch. Absolutely recommended!

31 Aug 2022 | Half-day quad tour to Mount Etna

half-day quad bike excursion to etna

A fantastic experience, when we arrived at the meeting point we were given the equipment and explained the use of the quads, then we set off with our guide Salvatore, a very good and professional guy, along the way he showed us some really evocative places, explaining their history and guided us by keeping an eye on them. Fantastic views and wonderful route. I recommend this experience to everyone, to be done at least once in a lifetime.

25 Aug 2023 | Half-day quad tour to Mount Etna

Not to be missed!!!

Guys a real blast!!! There were 4 of us with two quods and we had so much fun. All the staff were up to the task 🔝. The off piste is really off piste!!!!! Great alternating between piste and off-piste! You also pass through the town of Castiglione. In short, if you want to spend a day of adventure and in total safety, you can't miss this experience. Landscapes as unique as Sicily can offer.

10 Oct 2023 | Half-day quad tour to Mount Etna

Fantastic trip

This was an amazing tour which took us through so much beautiful scenery in a fun and exhilarating way. It was a small group (just one other quad) with plenty of off road elements (rivers, forests etc). Luca was so friendly and helpful; always ensuring we were safe and keeping up. He even recommended places to eat afterwards. Couldn’t have been happier with our trip - thank you so much
