Tour of Mt Etna Off-Road with Quad Bike

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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