Ride a quad across Mount Etna’s lava fields, caves, and broom forests on a guided 90-minute adventure from Nicolosi.

“In addition to helmets, gloves and jackets were provided, which was great bc we were there in December. Guide was knowledgeable and helpful. A short visit to a lava tube was the perfect break to stretch our legs. A photo stop with Etna was planned as well. They were great about accommodating some our family needs, too! The only thing I would have liked is the opportunity to get a picture in motion as we crossed the lava fields. A wonderful experience and one that the whole family loved!”

Ride from Ribera’s castle to Sicily’s coast on a small-group quad tour with river crossings, wild trails, and wide sea views.

“What started as a booking mistake turned into one of the most unforgettable days of my 4-week trip through Italy. I accidentally booked the “Castle to Sea” quad tour not realizing it was in Ribera, on the opposite coast from where I was staying in Palermo. I reached out to cancel, and Vincenzo reassured me that if I made the 2-hour trip, they’d pick me up from the bus stop (more like a post in the middle of nowhere!) and promised I’d have fun. I took the chance—and I’m so glad I did. Angela picked me up with a warm smile and brought me to the shop to meet the…”

Ride quads from Chia through Sardinia’s mountains, forests, dirt trails, and beaches with a careful local guide.

“Junior and Valeria are a gem. Valeria explained everything in detail prior to the day and Junior was our amazing guide. not only he explains everything about the place and its history he is also very careful and patient. The route is super scenic, the timings are well counted and the security is a priority. The experience is also seen in the details: from the headband given as a gift to the sanitary cap given to be used with the helmet. TOTALLY recommend”

“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.”
