Step-by-step itinerary

Quad Safari in Taurus Mountains

• Ride quad bike through pine forests
• Explore muddy streams
• Enjoy views of Taurus Mountains
• Hotel drop-off

The Experience

The ride lasts 1.5 hours and covers the rugged landscape of the Taurus Mountains — the jagged peaks that separate the Turkish coast from the Anatolian Plateau. You'll navigate pine forests and muddy streams on a quad bike, seeing the terrain from a perspective most visitors never reach. A local guide leads the way, and the pace is set by the group's ability, not a fixed itinerary.

Hotel pickup and drop-off come with one option; the other option has you meet at a fixed point instead. Either way, you get a safety helmet and fuel is included in the price. The guide speaks English, German or Russian. You need at least moderate fitness to handle the terrain and the physical demands of controlling the bike for that stretch, but no prior riding experience is required — the guide briefs everyone at the start.

The whole outing, including pickup or meeting time and the ride itself, runs about 2 hours. A DVD of the day can be purchased separately if you want footage of the ride.

Is this one for you?Choose the hotel transfer option if you want to skip arranging your own ride to the start; pick the meeting point option if you're staying nearby or prefer to drive yourself. Either way, the 1.5-hour ride through the mountains is the same — the difference is just how you get there and back.

Top questions

How difficult is the quad bike riding for someone who has never ridden before?

No prior experience is required. The guide briefs the group before you start, and the terrain is rugged but manageable with moderate fitness. The 1.5-hour ride covers pine forests and muddy streams, so expect uneven ground and some mud rather than a smooth track.

What is included in the price of the quad safari?

The quad bike ride, a safety helmet, fuel, and a local guide are included. Hotel pickup and drop-off come with the hotel transfer option; the meeting point option means you arrange your own way to the start location. A DVD recording of your ride can be purchased separately.

Can I choose between hotel pickup or meeting somewhere instead?

Yes. One option includes hotel pickup and drop-off; the other option has you meet at a fixed point. Choose at checkout based on where you're staying and what works for your schedule.

What are the Taurus Mountains like from a quad bike?

The Taurus Mountains have jagged peaks that divide the Turkish coast from the Anatolian Plateau inland. From the quad bike, you ride through pine forests and muddy streams, seeing the landscape from ground level rather than from a viewpoint or a road.

What is the minimum age to ride a quad bike on this tour?

The minimum age is 14 years old. Riders should have at least moderate physical fitness and be comfortable controlling a bike on uneven, muddy terrain.
