Highlights
  • Piazzale Rifugio Sapienza - The quad excursion is ideal for those who want to discover the nature of Etna by experiencing an exciting off-road adventure. The excursion takes place throughout the entire itinerary on a quad, automatic and easy to drive, which can safely transport up to a maximum of two people, who will be responsible for their own vehicle.

On the way we will cross an eruptive fracture, driving our quads between long lava fields and volcanic black sand we will admire explosive craters and discover one of the many beauties that distinguish Etna: a lava flow cave. We will then stop to visit the typical buildings of the area, similar to the Sardinian nuraghi or the Apulian trulli.

Continuing along the route we will cross the Etna broom forest, we will descend along the lava flow channels, passing between lunar and “dagale” landscapes, wooded islands surrounded by petrified lava.
We will cross a forest of Etna pines, along the bed of a dry stream, where the landscape is characterized by the alternation of lava and woods. We will then return to the starting point and finish the quad tour.

Beautiful experience - During my excursion yesterday afternoon on Mount Etna, my daughters and my husband decided to continue the trip with quad bikes. Obviously I was very skeptical and not inclined having never ridden a motorcycle ... until I “came across” a boy named Andrea who with great discretion and grace enticed me. Despite my hesitations, I decided to venture into this beautiful adventure taken by the grace of this young boy and by not having insisted at all exhaustingly as most do in these cases. Pleasant excursion, I would do it again a thousand times. Andrea patiently, and 'was supportive with the quad until the end and then, with a lot of professionalism explained the various geological structures of the volcano in such a way as to excite both my girls as well as us. Actually, congratulations to Andrea!

Experience to avoid and absolutely fake - Bad experience Nothing of the sort It promises an Indiana Jones adventure and instead everything is reduced to a nice ride with the quad of which 80% on asphalt and 20% on dirt You visit in no more than 15 minutes a stone building the avocado-like trullo and enter 2 or 3 meters into a cave. That's all ..... and all going down compared to Entna
