Description

Day 1: Arrive in Taormina
Your adventure begins

Welcome to Sicily! Upon arrival at Catania Airport, meet your private guide for transfer to your hotel in Taormina. After check-in, get ready for your first thrill: a guided quad bike excursion on Mount Etna. Helmet on, engine roaring, you’ll explore the wild, rugged paths of Europe’s tallest active volcano. Ride past lava flows, ancient craters, and the unique natural beauty of Etna’s northern side. Return to Taormina for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 2: Mountain bike adventure
on Etna

After breakfast, it’s time to hit the trails by mountain bike. With your expert guide, ride the Altomontana path, one of Etna’s most scenic routes, layered in volcanic ash and lava rock. From flowing single tracks to sweeping views, every turn brings a new perspective of the volcano’s raw beauty. Your route will be tailored to your experience level. Dinner and overnight stay in Taormina.

Day 3: Body rafting
in Alcantara Gorge

Start your day with breakfast, then set off for the stunning Alcantara Gorge, a dramatic canyon carved by ancient lava and water. Equipped with wetsuits and helmets, dive into the fun of body rafting, navigating the river by floating, swimming, and sliding through natural rock formations. Don’t miss the Venus Cascade, a magical spot steeped in myth and beauty. After this unforgettable experience, return to your hotel. Dinner and overnight stay.

Day 4: Trekking on Mount Etna

After breakfast, enjoy a guided trek through Mount Etna’s protected natural park. Hike along paths lined with volcanic formations, native flora, and panoramic views stretching from the slopes to the sea. Reach one of the summit craters (weather and conditions permitting) and feel the awe of standing on an active volcano. Afternoon return to the hotel. Dinner at leisure and overnight stay.

Day 5: Departure
