Escursione in Quad alla scoperta dell'Etna

Punto di incontro
Bar Esagonal, Piazzale Funivia, nei pressi del Rifugio Sapienza.

Orario partenze
Dalle 9:00 alle 18:00 a seconda della stagione.

Procedure pre-tour
Incontro con la guida e consegna attrezzature, adempimenti burocratici, ultime informazioni dal bollettino vulcanologico dell’INGV di Catania e consegna biglietti.

L’escursione in quad è ideale per chi vuole scoprire la natura dell’Etna vivendo un’avventura off-road. L’escursione si svolge per tutto l’itinerario su un quad, automatico e facile da guidare, può trasportare in sicurezza fino a un massimo di due persone, che saranno responsabili del proprio mezzo.

Itinerario
Durante il tragitto attraverseremo una frattura eruttiva, guidando i nostri quad tra lunghi campi di lava e sabbia nera vulcanica ammireremo crateri esplosivi e scopriremo una tra le tante bellezze che contraddistinguono l’Etna: una grotta di scorrimento lavico. Ci fermeremo poi a visitare delle costruzioni tipiche della zona, simili ai nuraghi sardi o i trulli pugliesi.

Proseguendo lungo il tragitto attraverseremo la foresta di ginestre dell’Etna, scenderemo lungo dei canali di scorrimento lavico, passando fra paesaggi lunari e “dagale”, isole boschive circondate da lava pietrificata.
Attraverseremo una foresta di pini dell’Etna, percorrendo l’alveo di un torrente asciutto, dove il paesaggio è contraddistinto dall’alternanza di lave e boschi. Rientreremo quindi al punto di partenza e finiremo il quad tour.

It was very nice and fun experience. I never drove on a quad bike on such a difficult terrain and a part of a ride was a good bone shaker and a bit if adrenaline:) but we enjoyed it. The price we paid was 50 eur per person. Our guide Tobi was very kind funny and caring. He is unbelievably good with languages and he speaks about 5 or so! One thing I didn t like was that at their info station there are nice and brand new quads on display and it creates an impression we are booking a trip on them but in fact the trip is on smaller older and less comfy ones Thankfully upon a request and due to a fact we re bigger and taller they gave us bigger squad. But I think in general it should be more transparent and they should inform clearly on which vehicules the tour will be.

Great quad-by excursion, couple of hours duration, enough to taste some peculiarities of this fascinating place. I've been guided by the young and expert Giovanni who gave us an authentic view of vulcano's environment besides funny facts about Etna and Catania's long history. You can rent all the equipment in the shop. Totally worth it! Every staff member very kind and gentle. See you next time

We had a quad tour for a 1.30 hours, it was 100 euros for 2 people, and we also received helmets. Our guide, Antonio, was a very nice guy. He explained everything to us and always took care that we were good and safe. The tour was interesting, a little bit of adventure and good infos from our guide. Recommend 👍👍👍Thanks again.

Before we got on the quads, we were given a helmet and an optional jacket each. It started on the road which we followed for a while, driving past the scenic routes of volcano and the forest. Then we went off road until we got to another forest, where we followed our guide to the caves and he took us to a beautiful viewpoint too. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, he explained everything in both Italian and English languages.We had such an amazing time!!!All the staff were lovely and I would like to give a special shout out to Gaia who stopped us as we were walking past and told us about all the activities around Etna, it was lovely to have a chat with her, she was super friendly and even gave us some suggestions of what to do/see around Catania!  Also, special shout out to our guide( unfortunately can't remember his name) who encouraged me to try quad biking, I was a bit scared at first but loved every moment of it!!!☺️
Great experience! We’ve decided on a 4-hour guided trekking tour on Etna and we don’t regret it at all! Very professional and super nice guide - enthusiastic and experienced vulcanologist with a great sense of humor. We’d love to spend more time on Etna and discover more paths! Unfortunately not enough time..Watch the weather before going 😉 The hike might be a bit extreme with little kids when super strong wind. Overall, the trip was amazing and we’ll remember it for long. Highly recommend it to all hiking lovers!
