The experience

The ride starts with hotel pickup and moves into the Manavgat Side Forest on a calm, scenic route. You'll follow forest paths on well-cared-for horses known for their gentle temperament, then emerge onto the beach for the final stretch along the coastline. The whole outing takes about 2 hours and follows a pace that suits first-time riders and seasoned equestrians alike.

A professional, friendly instructor leads the group through the route and stays with you the entire time. The guide speaks English, German, Russian or Turkish depending on your group's needs. Along the way there are moments to stop and take in the forest and sea views. Professional photographs of your ride are available if you want to capture the experience.
