Ride a quad across Mount Etna: a 2-hour guided adventure through lava fields and forest trails, with a stop at a natural lava tunnel and panoramic photo viewpoints. €110 per quad (1 or 2 people). Book directly and get an answer within 24 hours.

To drive the quad you need a valid car driving licence; passengers don't, and children can join only accompanied by their parents. The tour runs in every season, winter included, weather permitting — in the cold months just add a warm jacket and gloves, available for rent on site.

“Could not recommend Vincenzo more highly. Everything from communication ahead of time, flexibility and advice around our options given weather and volcanic activity, to the trip itself. Vincenzo was knowledgeable and passionate about Mount Etna, was great with the kids, and gave us a memorable day out. It is the clear highlight of our trip.”

“Amazing guide! Very kind and caring, gave us jackets and boots because we went to the top of the Etna and it was a cold day. He led us on paths where other groups didn't go and gave us some freedom that only comes in small groups that he is leading. I loved that personal touch and would recommend Vincenzo anytime with great confidence.”

Accommodating in every regard, funny, and chock full of information. He truly has a passion for this. It was a joy to visit his hometown.”

“Quite simply, one of the best hikes that we have ever had! Vincenzo explained very clearly what our hike options were based on the weather, was very well prepared, and gave many insightful and interesting explanations during the hike. Clearly, we would never have had even half the experience without his guidance. Thanks Vincenzo!”
