ATV Riding in Antalya: Taurus Mountains on a Quad Bike

Dusty trails through pine forest and mountain valleys on a quad bike you operate yourself.

Quad biking in Antalya's Taurus Mountains is a half-day activity where you ride your own ATV through mountain trails, pine forests and valleys with an instructor, hotel pickup and drop-off included. The ride lasts over an hour and a half, with a safety briefing and tutorial beforehand. You can choose your departure time and ride as a solo driver or with a passenger on the same quad.

The Experience

The day starts with hotel pickup and a 30-minute drive to the riding location. Once there, an instructor walks you through safety equipment and basic handling before you get on the quad—no license or prior experience required. The briefing covers the trails you'll take and what to expect on the terrain: moving mud, pine forest and the open valleys that cut through the mountain skirts.

You'll spend over an hour and a half riding dusty paths that wind through the Taurus Mountains. The route passes through different terrain types, so you're not on the same surface the whole time. An instructor leads the way, and fuel is included. Helmet use is mandatory. The pace is built for riders of all ages who want the adrenaline without needing to have ridden before.

Hotel drop-off happens after the ride. You can pick from multiple departure times to fit your schedule. If you want a record of the day, a DVD is available to purchase separately at checkout.
