Quad Safari from Antalya: Off-Road in the Aspendos Area, Transfer Included

Yes — you can ride our quad or buggy safari while you are staying in Antalya, and the hotel transfer is included in the price. The riding itself happens nowhere near a resort strip: we drive you east to the Aspendos area and let you loose on the natural land around the Köprüçay river, the Eurymedon of the ancient world. Round-trip pickup and drop-off from an Antalya hotel costs nothing extra: it is part of the fare, exactly as it is for Muratpaşa, Konyaaltı, Lara and Kundu and for the resorts along the coast from Belek and Kadriye across to Side. Quad riding costs €30 for the short tour and €38 for the long one, buggy €35 and €43, and anyone riding along as a passenger pays exactly half. The whole programme runs about 4 to 4.5 hours door to door, your pickup time is confirmed after booking for your own hotel, and you pay in euros on the tour day.

Your transfer from Antalya is included in the price

Our off-road course lies in the Aspendos countryside, at the foot of the Taurus Mountains, and Antalya sits on the same coastline. Riding it from a city hotel is entirely normal for us, and the transfer is not an extra you negotiate: round-trip pickup and drop-off from your Antalya hotel is included in the fare you see on this page. There is no transfer surcharge, no separate quote and nothing to settle on the side.

That covers the city as holidaymakers actually use it — the hotels in the centre and in Muratpaşa, and the beach districts of Lara, Kundu and Konyaaltı. The same inclusion runs along the coast in both directions: Belek, Kadriye and Boğazkent, and eastwards through Side, Manavgat, Evrenseki, Kumköy, Çolaklı, Gündoğdu and Kızılot. If your hotel is somewhere else entirely, message us and we will tell you honestly whether we can reach you rather than promise first and improvise later.

The one thing we do not print is a pickup time. Every hotel has its own place in the day's run, so your time is confirmed after you book, for your address, in writing — and no card is charged online at any point.

What the day looks like when you set out from the city

The whole programme runs roughly 4 to 4.5 hours door to door: the included transfer out, the briefing, the compulsory test ride, the riding itself and the drive back. Exact timings depend on where you are staying, which is why no clock time appears on this page — your own pickup time is confirmed after you book instead.

At the base you meet your guide, hear the safety briefing and collect your helmet before anyone starts an engine. Then comes the test ride on flat ground, where you get a feel for the throttle and the brakes and we see how you handle the machine. Riding time is 1.5 to 2 hours on the short tour and 2.5 to 3 hours on the long one, with a rest stop where drinks and snacks can be bought.

  • Hotel pickup in Antalya, included in the price; your time confirmed after booking
  • Transfer out to the off-road base in the Aspendos area, by the Köprüçay
  • Safety briefing, helmet
  • Compulsory test ride — this is what decides who drives
  • The safari itself: 1.5-2 hours on the short tour, 2.5-3 hours on the long one
  • Rest stop, then the transfer back to your hotel

Pickup times for an Antalya hotel

Antalya centre is not one stop on the timetable — the city-side run collects in Konyaaltı at around 08:00 and is in Lara by around 08:30 for the morning session, and the afternoon run starts in Konyaaltı at around 13:00. Which of those your own address falls closest to depends on where in the city you are staying, so we confirm your time after you book rather than guess it here. All of these are averages: traffic moves the whole run.

The route: river crossings, forest tracks and open ground

This is not a tidy loop around a fenced paddock. The route strings shallow river crossings, forest trails and open off-road terrain into a single ride, which is what makes it worth leaving the city for — water, woodland and open country in one afternoon. Expect dust, and expect to come back looking like you have been somewhere.

Mud and splashes depend on conditions and the season, so we offer them when conditions allow and never as a guarantee. What does not change is the character of the ground: uneven, natural, worked by a machine you steer yourself. The course is private ground rather than a public road, which is also why the driving rules below are ours to set.

Two machines, four prices — and the passenger pays half

Choose the machine first, then the length. A quad is a single rider with room for one passenger behind. A buggy is a two-seater you sit inside, side by side — the usual pick for couples and for anyone who would rather share the drive.

The fares are identical wherever on this coast you are staying, Antalya included: per person, in euros, paid on the tour day. Per person is meant literally — everyone who gets into the transfer and joins the safari is charged, driver or passenger, adult or child, including a guest who comes only to watch. The half-price passenger seat is the one reduction there is.

  • Quad, short tour (1.5-2 h riding): €30 per driver, €15 per passenger
  • Quad, long tour (2.5-3 h riding): €38 per driver, €19 per passenger
  • Buggy, short tour (1.5-2 h riding): €35 per driver, €17.50 per passenger
  • Buggy, long tour (2.5-3 h riding): €43 per driver, €21.50 per passenger
  • Everyone on the tour is charged, driver or passenger, adult or child — no one rides along unpaid
  • Children under 4: not recommended, and if one comes along the passenger fare applies
  • One passenger per driver — both machines seat two

Who drives: no licence, 16 and over, and a test ride that decides

No driving licence is required for this tour, because the route is a private off-road course rather than a public road. We state that reason every time, so nobody mistakes it for a claim about traffic rules in Turkey. Drivers must be 16 or over and should carry ID; the ID is an age check and nothing more.

Before every tour, each driver takes a compulsory test ride. It is a real check rather than a formality: whoever handles the machine confidently drives their own, and whoever does not — or simply decides they would rather not — rides along as a passenger at half price. Nobody is pushed onto a machine they are uneasy on, and nobody loses their place on the tour for it.

The passenger seat carries no age floor, but it does ask something of whoever sits in it: on a quad you hold on behind the driver, and in a buggy you sit inside beside them. A child under four finds it hard to hold on safely on either, so we do not recommend the safari for them — and if one is brought along anyway, the passenger fare is charged for them exactly as it is for anyone else. The tour is also not recommended for pregnant guests or anyone with back or neck problems.

What the price includes, and what you buy at the base

Everything you need to ride is in the fare. What is left out is named plainly: it is bought on the spot, and we do not publish amounts we have not fixed.

  • Experienced guide and the safety briefing
  • Round-trip hotel transfer, included from Antalya, Muratpaşa, Konyaaltı, Lara and Kundu and from the resorts along the coast
  • The quad or buggy itself, fuelled and ready
  • Helmet
  • Liability insurance during the activity

  • Not included: photo and video service, drinks and snacks at the rest stop, tips, and the supplement for a machine to yourself
  • No meal is part of this tour

Why guests staying in Antalya book it

A city holiday hands you a beach, an old town and a great many restaurants, and by the third day plenty of people want a half day that is nothing like the first two. That is the slot this tour fills: we collect you at your hotel as part of the price, you leave the tarmac behind for a couple of physical hours, and you are dropped back with the rest of the day still yours.

It suits people who flew in that week and planned little in advance. The reservation is free and takes nothing but a message — no card details, no prepayment — and free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before departure if your plans move. Our team answers in English, German, Russian and Polish, so booking never depends on the excursion desk in your lobby.

It also works as a first taste of off-road: the test ride exists precisely for that, and the half-price passenger seat means a nervous partner or a younger family member comes along instead of waiting by the pool.

Practical notes and how to book from your Antalya hotel

Wear old or comfortable clothes you do not mind ruining, and proper closed shoes — flip-flops and sandals do not belong on a machine. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen and a change of clothes; goggles for the dusty sections can be bought at the base.

Booking works the same way for every guest: reserve free, have your pickup time confirmed afterwards, and pay in euros on the tour day, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. If you want to compare the machines first, the quad safari and the buggy safari pages carry the full detail, our price breakdown sets every fare out side by side, the hotel pickup page lists every region the included transfer covers, and the complete guide walks through the experience from booking to the ride home.

The fastest way to lock in your date is WhatsApp: +90 536 603 75 84. Send your hotel, your date, the machine you want and how many drivers and passengers there will be. Count everybody who is coming: each person in the transfer and on the safari has a fare, the driver's or half of it.

Pickup times

We run two sessions a day. Below are the average pickup times for each resort area — your own time is confirmed after you book.

Area Morning session Afternoon session
Konyaaltı 08:00 13:00
Lara 08:30 13:30
Kundu 08:45 13:45

Times are averages and can shift with traffic and the length of the pickup run. Staying somewhere else along the coast? Message us with your hotel and we will confirm your own time once you have booked.

From the Belek area the drive out to the riding ground is around 35–40 minutes, depending on where exactly you are staying. The safari itself runs in the Aspendos countryside, by the Köprüçay river — not in Belek.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can I join the safari if I am staying in Antalya rather than Belek?
Yes, and the transfer is included in the price. The course is inland at Aspendos, on the land around the Köprüçay river, and we collect guests from Antalya hotels — the centre, Muratpaşa, Lara, Kundu and Konyaaltı — and bring you back afterwards at no extra cost.
Is the transfer from Antalya included in the price?
Yes. Round-trip hotel pickup and drop-off from Antalya is included in the fare, with no transfer surcharge. The same applies along the coast — Belek, Kadriye, Boğazkent, Lara, Kundu, Muratpaşa, Konyaaltı, Side, Manavgat, Evrenseki, Kumköy, Çolaklı, Gündoğdu and Kızılot. Your pickup time is confirmed after booking, for your own hotel.
How much does it cost from Antalya?
The same as anywhere else on this coast. Quad is €30 for the short tour and €38 for the long one; buggy is €35 and €43. A passenger riding with a driver pays exactly half — €15, €19, €17.50 or €21.50 — and that half fare is the only reduction there is: everyone who takes part is charged, whatever their age.
Is a driving licence required for the quad safari?
No driving licence is required, because the route is a private off-road course rather than a public road. Drivers must be 16 or over and should carry ID as an age check, and every driver takes a compulsory test ride before the tour.
How long does the whole thing take door to door?
About 4 to 4.5 hours including the transfer both ways, the briefing, the test ride and the safari itself. Riding time is 1.5 to 2 hours on the short tour and 2.5 to 3 hours on the long one. Exact timings vary with your hotel location and are confirmed with your booking.
What if my partner does not want to drive?
They ride along at half the driver price. One passenger travels with each driver, and that half fare is charged at any age — there is no unpaid seat on this tour. We do not recommend the ride for children under four, who find it hard to hold on safely.
Do I have to pay online when I book?
No. The reservation is free, no card is taken online, and you pay in euros on the tour day. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure.
What should I wear and bring from the city?
Old or comfortable clothes and closed shoes, not sandals. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen and a change of clothes. Helmet is provided; protective goggles are an optional extra sold at the base.
