Gole di Tiberio

"A Must-See Natural Wonder with an Amazing Guide!

The Gole di Tiberio are absolutely stunning! The landscape is breathtaking, with great rock formations, crystal-clear water, and the nature makes the whole experience feel magical. The geology of the area is truly fascinating — millions of years of natural history carved into the rock, and you can really appreciate the power of nature as you explore.

What made the visit even more special was our guide, Sophia. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the site. Her explanations were clear and very informative, with lots of technical details about the geology, fauna and flora— all in excellent English. She took the time to answer all our questions and made sure everyone felt included.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves nature, geology, or just wants to discover one of Sicily’s hidden gems. Don't miss it!"

"This was a really great activity, thoroughly enjoyed our trip through the gorge. Really beautiful scenery, only 30 minutes from Cefalu. Only booked the night before and they responded to my message promptly even outside of advertised hours which was appreciated (was only expecting them to reply in the morning). Easy change facilities and only 1 euro for a locker which was reasonable. We wore aqua shoes which were fine, I think there were shoes for hire at a reasonable price. We chilled for a bit playing table football (free) whilst waiting, then our guide took us into the Canyon, first a walk, then boat, then another walk and finally a nice dip before returning on the same route. The route is easy going and our guide was excellent talking to us in English throughout. Afterwards we had lunch there which was decent and reasonably priced. Almost perfect.

Only real issue was the shuttle bus. This costs an extra 2.50 per person which is just stupid, just include it in the price as everyone will take it. It's literally the first interaction you have and immediately gets you a little annoyed forking out another 10 euro, no idea why everyone seems to be trying to follow this stupid add on fee pricing, it just annoys people for no reason. Not the end of the world but worse was to come, also related to the shuttle. Whilst we were eating our lunch it was apparent the shuttle bus hadn't appeared in a while and people (20+) were already queuing for some time. I asked the centre if the shuttle was coming and they said 5 minutes. 20 minutes later still no sign so asked again and was told it was coming. So I hiked up to the car park, which only takes less than 10 minutes but is steep in the heat. When I arrived there was no sign of the shuttle bus, only another staff member in a 4x4. I asked where the bus was and was told it wouldn't be long. I said lots of people had already been waiting over 30 minutes and there was now around 20+ people waiting. She appeared to phone the shuttle and then reluctantly agreed to go down and get the rest of my family. Obviously since there were a number of people already waiting and the capacity of the 4x4 was limited it took a number of trips up and down before my family was back in the car, costing us maybe 45 minutes of precious holiday time, not ideal when we had things planned later in Cefalu. As we were leaving the bus finally turned up, I can only assume it must have been taking a group back to their accommodation somewhere, possibly Cefalu. If they'd just told us it would be a while we'd have all just walked up and other than being a bit tired would have only cost us 10 minutes. Shame how something so simple takes the shine off what was otherwise a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Despite the issues with the shuttle I'd still highly recommend, we did genuinely thoroughly enjoy it. I did map the walk if you want to avoid the shuttle, it was 0.43km, had an elevation gain of 83m and took exactly 7m to walk up (I'm fit but was taking it easy). It would be very easy to walk down and not exactly difficult to walk back up either. Be aware the path down is separate from the road down, just ask the staff at the car park to show you."

"Enjoyed a great time on the water! We started out with a short walk to the river, which included an explanation of the area and wildlife by the guides. Then, we used ropes to cross the river (you wade through it - it’s about 2 feet deep in a few places) three different times (a lot of fun!). Then, we boarded the raft and floated through the gorge. On the other side, we got out and had time to get in the river and explore the river bank. We then boarded the rafts and went back. We had a blast!

A few tips: make sure your shoes / pants can get wet!
Lockers are available to rent for 3 Euros if you’re worried about items getting wet
There are changing rooms available
You can also rent waders if you desire
Helmets and life jackets are provided

Enjoy the excursion with your family!"
