ATV Riding in Side: Quad & Buggy Safari Adventure

You operate the quad or buggy yourself: no passenger seat, no guide steering.

ATV riding in Side is a 4-hour off-road adventure where you take control of your own quad bike or buggy and navigate dirt tracks, water crossings and rugged terrain through the Taurus Mountains. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, along with helmet, insurance and fuel. No driving license or prior experience is required. A safety briefing and test ride prepare you before the 2-hour ride. Choose between a single or double quad, a single or double buggy, or a family buggy that seats four, with departures at 08:30 or 13:00.

The experience

The quad bikes and buggies are built to handle beginners: no license needed and no riding experience required. After a safety briefing at the base, you'll do a test ride to get comfortable with the controls, then spend roughly 2 hours riding through the natural landscape. The route takes you along dusty trails, across shallow water streams and over rough terrain, with breaks built in for photos and to cool off in natural water spots depending on which path the guide chooses that day.

Hotel pickup in Side or Antalya starts the day, followed by about an hour's transfer to the safari base with your guide. Once you're back at the hotel after the ride, the tour ends. The guide speaks English, German, Russian or Turkish depending on your group. You'll wear a helmet throughout, and insurance is included in the price.

Five vehicle options let you choose how many people share: single quad or buggy for one rider; double quad or double buggy for two people on the same machine; or a family buggy that seats four. Departures run at 08:30 or 13:00, so you can pick the time that fits the rest of your day. A DVD recording of your ride is available to purchase at checkout if you want footage of the adventure.

Is this one for you?Choose a single quad or buggy if you want to ride solo and control your own machine. Pick a double option or family buggy if you're traveling with others and want to share the cost and the experience on one vehicle. The 08:30 departure gets you back early enough for lunch or other activities. The 13:00 start works better if you prefer a later morning.
