Pricing & Included stuffs
The quad tour in the Madonie Park will take you to discover natural environments and panoramic views over the Tyrrenian sea. The Madonie is a Unesco Geopark with a complex geology and a unique fauna and flora.
1-hour tour
The 1-hour tour is a mixed trail of 20 km, starting from the Gorges of Tiberius* along the ancient Madonie trazzere, between woods and panoramic views over the north coast of Sicily. The excursion is suitable for who approaching for first time with a quad bike but also to more expert riders, and will give you a nice panorama of the Madonie Geopark.
2-hours tour
The 2-hours excursion is the one we recommend, both for duration and for the type of trail. It is 50 km mixed trail starting from the Gorges of Tiberius*. Riding along woods and mountains paths we will reach San Mauro Casteverde, the starting point of the ZipLine. Here you can decide to get a fly with the ZipLine**. From the launch platform we move to go back on board the Quads to reach the Castle at an altitude of 1070 meters (the stage of Castle is optional and it's possible includes it on the trail based ot the timing of the previous stops), from here you will enjoy a fantastic 360 degree panorama that sweeps from the surrounding mountains to the Tyrrhenian coast. After photos, we will leave to get the return path through the heart of the Madonie Park.
* Due to the position and the very impervious access, it is not possible to visit the Gorges of Tiberius with quads, we recommend a visit before or after the quad excursion
** The Zipline flight is optional and you can decide to do it during the tour, all the details of the launch will be provided directly by the guide. Here you can take a look at the description of the Sicily Zipline >>

Grafico alta sostenibilita
This quad tour has a "Low" sustainability level due to the emission of approximately 2 kg of CO2 and water vapor into the atmosphere per participant for the 1-hour tour, and over 3 kg per participant for the 2-hours trail. The tour also causes soil pollution due to the release of engine oils, and finally, the high noise, above 100dbi, could cause disturbance to fauna.

Meraviglia
È la seconda esperienza che facciamo organizzata in questa maniera facendo escursione con il quad.... la meraviglia delle meraviglie... purtroppo a causa del mal tempo non abbiamo potuto visitare le gole di Tiberio (di certo non mancherà l'occasione) ma il resto è stato veramente un esperienza mozzafiato... la nostra guida Mauro è stato davvero bravo e Gentile... assolutamente consigliato...alla prossima faremo ogni volta una recensione per ogni escursione fatta con voi quindi vi terremo aggiornati ????

Best part of the trip
This was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip to Sicily. We stayed in Palermo and were really not all that impressed, but the quad ride and ziplining saved the trip! Mauro was very accommodating and even picked us up from the train station. I would definitely recommend. Do note, it is 130 euro per quad...it was a little confusing when we booked but well worth it.
