The tour lasts between one and a half and two hours. It begins with a safety briefing and instructions on how to operate the quad bikes, which can carry up to two people. The route crosses eruptive fractures and long lava fields covered with black volcanic sand. Participants will see explosive craters from a distance and visit a lava flow cave. The ride continues through Etna’s broom forest, descends along lava flow channels, and passes through landscapes resembling the surface of the moon, as well as wooded areas surrounded by solidified lava. The excursion requires some driving skill and is not allowed for children under six years old.
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.
