An exciting off-road quad tour through Alcantara Valley
Our quad tour in the Alcantara Gorges begins right at the entrance to the Alcantara Valley. From here we set off on an exciting off-road journey along dirt roads, countryside paths and natural trails surrounded by spectacular landscapes.
During the ride you will discover some of the most scenic areas of the Alcantara Valley, riding through muddy trails, small streams and rugged tracks with beautiful views at the foot of Mount Etna.
Along the route we will stop briefly to admire the famous Alcantara River and its impressive basalt rock formations, one of the most fascinating natural features of the valley. Each quad can carry one passenger in addition to the driver, and the tour runs every day of the year.
Whether you want to try riding a quad for the first time or are looking for a more adventurous off-road experience, this Alcantara quad adventure is a fantastic way to explore the valley in a fun and original way.
We offer three different quad tours in the Alcantara Valley, suitable both for beginners who want to try riding a quad for the first time and for those looking for a longer adventure through off-road trails, natural landscapes and volcanic scenery.
