The Coast to Coast Trail is an exciting expedition which allows you to travel all the way from the north of Sicily to Agrigento on the south coast. During the ride you are immersed in the real Sicily; an island with a rich history based first and foremost on an agricultural heritage and surrounded by legend. The landscapes offer rolling hills and endless fields of wheat and flourishing crops in addition to wild trails, interesting historical villages and ancient farms. The farms bear witness to Sicily's distant past when the island drew its wealth from its natural resources; the earth, rivers, streams, olive and almond groves and other Mediterranean riches.

This is fascinating adventure is for experienced riders who wish to learn more about this stunning island from knowledgeable guides. You can expect comfortable accommodation, delicious Sicilian food and, of course, the company of a trustworthy horse who will be your partner all the way from one coast to the next!

It's important to know

Personal equipment you need for the tour

• Riding Helmet - we strongly recommend that you wear a properly fitted riding helmet of the current standard which is PAS015 or BSEN1384. Helmets are available at the stables if you do not have your own
• Jodhpurs - jodhpurs, breeches or other comfortable trousers (jeans may rub and can also be quite hot)
• Riding Boots - it is important to have correct shoes or boots for horse riding. Jodhpur or ankle boots with a rubber sole are recommended but sturdy shoes with a definite heel are acceptable (such as walking boots)
• Half Chaps - these are great when worn with ankle boots and help prevent the stirrup leathers rubbing against your legs
• T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts
• Sunhat
• Sunglasses
• Fleece - Although the weather is generally very warm, the evenings can be a bit cooler
• Warm layers - At times the evening temperature drops significantly
• Casual Clothes - for when out of the saddle
• Water Bottle - it's very important to drink a lot of water when it's hot, especially when doing physical activities
• Raincoat - it is always a wise idea to pack a waterproof/ windproof jacket!
• Personal Items - toiletries, any medicines you require and please be sure to take inset repellent and plenty of sun cream
• Camera and Spare Batteries/Charger - an absolute must! It is also a good idea to take a camera case you can strap around your waist or onto a belt for whilst you are riding
• A copy of your passport
