Active Trio

Our mesmerising coastline and mountainous regions are the ideal setting for outdoor enthusiasts who likes to fill their holiday with energetic activities. Not surprisingly, there’s a bunch of water sports to choose from but if you want to combine activities with seeing more of our special island, walking, cycling and quad bike tours are excellent options.

Guided hikes through the island’s nature reserves and national parks lead you across rugged terrain, both along the coast and inland. Explore the pristine beaches that fringe the Zingaro and Vendicari nature reserves, hike around the lakes of the Madonie and Nebrodi mountains and head up the dizzy heights of Mount Etna. Or join a hike through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Necropolis of Pantalica where, apart from the impressive scenery, hiking provides the chance to explore the island’s remarkable history.

For keen cyclists, joining a guided bike tour is a great way to cover a bit more ground. Sicily has some spectacular mountain cycle routes, including the high-altitude trails and rugged single tracks on Mount Etna, and the equally challenging routes through the Nebrodi mountain range. Guided tours are also available for the less experienced cyclist, with the option of electric mountain bike rental.

Our quad bike tours may not involve as much energy expenditure but make up for it in thrills! The off-road tours are a brilliant adrenaline-fuelled adventure through the rugged terrain and natural beauty of several of Sicily’s most dramatic landscapes, from the craggy limestone peaks of the Madonie mountains to the precipitous slopes of Mount Etna and the Nebrodi mountains.
