Etna Off-road Tour With Quad Bike

10/10 amazing quad trip! My wife and I were absolutely blown away by this excursion, we’ve done many quad tours in other countries and none compared to this. We did 110km’s on the quads through all types of terrain from the narrow streets of 1000 year old Sicilian towns, though beautiful vineyards and farms. Then up through the mountains with the most breathtaking views. You’ll cut right through the mountains in various tunnels, there’s never a dull moment on this trip! once you get through the country side to the base of mt Etna you start your ascent up a mix of switchback roads, and trails. We stopped at a cave made by Lava flows where our awesome Guide gave us some history of mt Etna and we took some pictures in the caves and at a Viewpoint. Then we went up to the highest point you can go by quad. There’s several shops there where we took a 30 minute break to grab a bite to eat and a souvenir, and take some pictures. Then we were back on the quads to make our journey back down. This tour was nothing short of amazing. Definitely book this if you want an adventure! One of the highlights of our two week tour of Italy!

This tour was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations. All of the guides were so friendly and helpful - we saw some amazing views of Etna and enjoyed a nice lunch at the top of the mountain. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique way to see Etna!

Our tour guide, Samual, was knowledgeable, passionate, and entertaining! Definitely would recommend this tour.

Great experience. Joseph was very nice and was very informative. The trails he took us through gave us a very scenic view.

Bring eyewear ! You will get dirty ! Windbreaker perfect to take on and off as temperature changes. Very fun !

My friends sjabba he very much liked riding the quads. He shot a hole in his underpants from excitement, as he has never ridden something that wild before. The only issue was that his thumb hurt because he is a little baby, and normally it is his hands that hurt from the self satisfying. He will certainly buy a quad for himself, because he liked it they much. We had a very nice guide, Giuseppe, and he even drank something on us, which we have not had with other people in Sicily. The best guide in the whole of Sicily.

Great fun to do and a great guide. Samwell was great and we had one on one trip. Over 4 hours of fun

We had really great time and I can honestly say that money spend well ( if group driving good you will be taken for small river trip on way back as well so that was fun . Trip can be demanding in some places so you need to have some straight in your hands etc but don’t be scared guys will look after you if somebody need assistance ( can’t add any pictures because size restrictions 10mb) per picture

Had a fabulous time on this trip! Professional and friendly service, excellent value for money. Fantastic experience great views, great fun our tour guide was excellent and knowledgeable. Thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone seeking a Etna experience.

All of the staff were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. At least 3 people spoke English very well which helped my adolescent children greatly. The ride was very fun and we felt safe in the hands of Francesco our guide. Francesco spoke English extremely well and always checked to make sure that we were having fun and doing well. I highly recommend this experience with older children with some stamina.

Very nice tour to explore the valley and go to mount Ethan without having to walk around. Tour guide was very nice and took pictures for us and explained everything throughout the tour

This was a home run! We loved going through all the rural areas and really authentic off the beaten path routes. The volcano was very cool! Our driver had jackets for us as it was very cool up there. We were not prepared at all lol. The volcano was very cool to see up close. A first for us.

Giuseppe our guide was showed friendly and knowledgeable! We had an amazing time! Highly recommend! Note to future folks taking the tour, TIP your tour guide!!

Booked a tour with pick up from cruise port. Got the family off the ship at 7:30 for pick up (how would I know that if I didn’t request pick up). Never picked us up and kept our funds.

We truly enjoyed the ATV tour of Mt. Etna! We started at their warehouse picking up our quads and drive them up the mountain. The tour consisted of some off road driving and some street driving. We went through the countryside of Etna and passed by many beautiful areas. We even got to make a pit stop at a river to take some pictures. Our tour guide, Andrea, was amazing! He was very informative and helpful. This tour was well worth the visit and we’re so glad we got to experience it

They boys were so helpful polite and friendly and made it an exceptional experience for us. From picking us up to taking us up Mt Etna and then back home.

Driving with the quad was great fun. The „english speaking tour guide“ could not speak good english. Anyway, we enjoyed this tour

Flawless experience! Be prepared with water and a snack as you will be driving for about an hour and a half both ways! Especially during the summer months as temperatures can reach about 30C+ Our guides were great and made sure no body was left feeling uneasy with the trip! The route was for the most part absolutely beautiful and gives you a good experience of outer city life in Sicily. Would recommend for anyone seeking something a bit different then the usual experience in Sicily!

Really fun trip on the ATVs. But the weather was very hot and we missed some more breaks where we had time for a drink. Only 3 breaks in 4.5 hours. We saw some exciting places however this trip is more to drive atv than to see the volcano. But it was the money worth!

The four of us collectively agree that this was the most exciting part of our two weeks in Italy. We spent 4 1/2 hours from start to finish going across rough trails that would be difficult to walk and some of the journey on roads going through towns. Our guide was ever cautious for our safety and was very knowledgeable regarding the history of the active volcano. This activity was absolutely worth the money and we would recommend it to anyone.

We rode the quad in Catania area, Sicily. Mt Etna was smoking at the time which was kind of cool. Because of this ,do not know if our destinations on the quad tour were changed; however, we were first taken to a dry river area which was really boring. I believe the company should have clarified upfront that this time of the year some of the areas are dry and not fun. Next we went to a wetter, more scenic area--could have cut Out the first part! then went to a town on a hill--that was the most interesting ! Keep to the scenic interesting areas!

an excellent trip, great fun driving the quad off road and up the tracks/lanes to the North ski area. Guide had great English and made us very welcome

4 hour round trip with my husband riding with our 9 year old daughter and myself with our 20 year old daughter. The route was away from the tourist side of Mount Etna and we went through a variety of landscapes up to 2,000m. Even though it was hot in the valley you definitely need a wind jacket at the top. We loved the adventure and the half way point where we met a local Etna expert. Great trip!

This tour was an absolute blast from the second we started to the second we got back. Our tour guides were great and helped us with anything we needed. The only thing i would highly recommend is making sure you're warm enough. Check the weather and dress appropriately. If there's a chance of rain bring thin gloves and wear a sweater an wind breaker! Other then this little tip, this tour is 100% recommended!

<p>We loved this tour!! We were the only ones on the tour and Miguel did a great job of showing us a variety of volcanic areas and terrains. He made a few stops in order for us to experience more of the area (lunch and coffee at a local shop). This is one of the best tours we’ve ever taken.</p>

<p>The tour was awesome! Because it was December, we were the only two on the tour. The guide noted our clothing and brought an extra jacket for each of us to borrow which was so appreciated. We got great instruction driving and navigating around Etna. We got to check out a cave, a river, and some other really fantastic sites other than just the volcano. I will say, that we did not get to the top- which I expected because you can only hike all the way up there but if you want to ride to the top- this is not that. Overall, the guide was great and it was a super fun experience.</p>

<p>This tour was super fun! You get really dusty, but that's part of the experience! The sights along the way are awesome. The beginning of the tour felt a little unorganized though. We arrived at the meeting point as directed, and the guy who met us there was really nice but didn't really explain anything - he mainly spoke Italian. Then told us to follow him on his motor bike with our cars, but again, nothing was really explained. It wasn't a big deal, but we were just kind of confused about who he was was he the guide? and where we were going! Turns out, he wasn't the main guide, but did join us on the tour to help everyone along. We arrived at a little garage and got set-up on the bikes. The gentleman there didn't speak much English, but thankfully someone on our tour could translate his instructions. Then our main tour guide arrived. She was really nice and spoke good English. The ride itself was great. A mix of riding on the street and off-road. The scenery is just beautiful. On the way to Mt Etna, you stop at this cool cave. You don't go all the way to the top of Mt Etna, but that was okay with us. Lunch was good you stop at sandwich place and also at a nearby shop owned by a photographer. He explains some of his photos and you watch a video that he's taken of Mt Etna over the years. We really enjoyed that part. Overall, great fun and we would recommend.</p>

<p>Some initial issues confirming our hotel pick up time etc. While on the tour we would have liked to stop a bit more to take in the views and get some more photos. Guides told us to beep if we wanted to stop but were often too far ahead to hear us and sometimes out of sight. Overall a great day though.</p>

<p>This adventure was absolutely amazing. I will remember it for the rest of my life. However this adventure is NOT for the slight of heart or body. I undertook this adventure with my wife and my two sons, age 29 and 31. They drove the ATVs, and loved every minute of it. As my wife and I are seniors, in reasonable good health, I know we would not have been able to drive this vehicles over this terrain ourselves. The guides were great, can't remember their names right now, but they were terrific. I highly recommend this adventure, however you better have excellent uppper body strength to handle these vehicles.</p>

<p>Highly recommend the trip great way to see the volcano! Quite an adventure for the family.</p>

<p>If I could, I would rate it 3.5 stars but I can't so I've rounded up to 4 stars. It was good, but not really good. I think there needs to be more information on Mt. Etna. There was a stop at a lava cave that was really interesting the tour guide explained how the caves are developed. The stop at the photographer's store was also interesting to hear his explanations of the last large explosion in 2002 and the more recent one in March. It would have been better if there was more information on Mt. Etna. In all, it was a fun experience to ride a quad through a small hill top town and rural dirt roads in order to get to the base of Etna - the tour only brings you to 1800 meters. From there you can hike up but when you're on the quad you cannot since you have limited time at the base area before heading back down. We had fun, but want you to realize this is more of a quad experience than a Mt. Etna experience.</p>

<p>This was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! My wife and I has SO much fun and the scenery was breathtaking! You start about 90min away from the top of the mountain so you get to ride a long time on the quad which is fun. I drove and my wife sat behind me and we take some amazing pictures and videos! The ride is a mix of off and on-road.</p>

<p>What a blast! We had a great time. Our guide Deniss was wonderful. We stopped in certain areas and she gave us lots of interesting facts. Be prepared to get a little dirty. The trails were dry and dusty. But that's what off-roading is all about.</p>

<p>Met the guides all very friendly. We doubled up on the bike. We drove on and off road, some parts off road were a bit of a white knuckle ride, but absolutely thrilling. Scenery was breathtaking. Wear layers as the temperature at top is chilly. In fact gloves would be a good idea. Highly recommend</p>

<p>This was an amazing way to explore Mt Etna!! We absolutely loved this tour and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the region. Make sure to choose the 4.5 hour option because it allows you enough time to explore Etna. We had never driven ATVs before, but it was easy to pick up. Also make sure to wear close toed shoes, long pants, and bring a sweatshirt.</p> <p>We we glad that we arranged a hotel pick up. We spent the day with our local guide, Denise, who was wonderful! This trip took us through various small towns, off-roading on various nature trails, and we even drove through a few small streams. The views were incredible and the experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily!</p>

<p>I booked this trip as a surprise for my husband and we're so glad we did it! I arranged for us to be picked up from our hotel in Taormina. Everybody we met from this company was so friendly and we were given a bit of history of Etna before the tour. We were lucky to be the only ones on this tour, so we very much had a personal service. Our guide was Josef and he was an enthusiastic guide, keen to make sure we had the whole experience. We had a double quad, as I wasn't confident at riding one myself and we set off first through the valley, which is beautiful and very green and lush, before getting higher into the black lava soil of Etna. Josef stopped on the way to give us some information about the area and also took us to a cave that had been created in the eruption of 2002. When we reached the top, it was a bit surreal as the weather was noticeably cooler and the landscape was like nothing we'd seen before. There are a few cabins where you can get refreshments and souvenirs though you'd need to take a rucksack if you intended buying anything. Then we travelled back down a slightly different route, which took us through a forest. I think the tour was about 4.5 hours and we were very dusty but very happy to have had the experience! We went in July and I would definitely recommend sunscreen and sunglasses and be prepared to get a bit grubby. In our view, the best way to see Mount Etna!</p>

<p>Tour was amazing....worth every cent, experiencing the internal parts of Etna.... forests, caves etc A must for families, nature lovers, adventures and those in search of something different. Brilliant</p>

<p>Excellant!!! A must do! Our tour guide was really nice so informative so much fun!!!</p>

<p>This tour was fantastic, my girlfriend and I were so glad we decided to book it! going up mount ETNA is definitely the best way to see the mountain as you get to go through the forest and off track roads really emphasizing that sense of adventure and the views were fantastic the whole way up. The tour guides are really friendly and took us to a mini cave which was carved out from the lava flow in which they explained how these formations were made. The trip was definitely one of the main highlights of our trip and many photos were taken.....our friends were very jealous. Overall it was worth the money and would do it again.<br/> Advice: Take Sunglasses just in case there was a bit of dust, take sun screen in the summer months and if you go in November like we did take something warm for when you get to the top.</p>

A superb 4-hour quad bike ride, beautiful scenery, The very nice attendant! In short, a real treat!

Very nice tour, with professional companion. Even with the pickup everything worked out. Was contacted the day before!

Wat een gave tour! Erg gaaf om in de bergen te rijden en heel mooi om het gebied van de etna te bekijken. De gids was erg aardig en op het einde gingen we nog even los op de quad door een rivier!
