Side ATV and Buggy Safari in Beşkonak with Hotel Transfer

Side ATV and Buggy Safari Along the Köprüçay River

Swap the sunbed for a set of handlebars. This Side ATV and buggy safari takes place in the Beşkonak area where the Köprüçay River slips out of the Taurus foothills, and the terrain changes every few minutes: loose gravel, packed dirt, pine shade and the occasional shallow crossing that throws water up to your knees. You drive your own vehicle behind an experienced guide, so the pace stays lively without ever turning reckless.

From Resort Lobby to Mountain Foothills

A transfer vehicle collects you from your hotel in the Side area and heads inland toward Beşkonak. The listed session time marks the start of the activity itself, which means your pickup happens earlier; the exact time is shared with you once your reservation is confirmed.

Fifteen Minutes That Make You Trail-Ready

At the base the team hands out helmets and walks you through the throttle, brakes and hand signals. A short practice loop lets first-timers find their balance before the group sets off. No licence or previous riding experience is required.

Dust Clouds and Pine-Scented Switchbacks

The first stretch climbs through pine forest and open country tracks, with the guide setting a steady rhythm at the front of the convoy. Expect bumps, dust and plenty of moments when you will want your camera within reach.

A Cool Pause at the Water's Edge

During the summer months the convoy stops for roughly fifteen minutes at a natural spot on the river. Wade in, take a quick swim or simply rinse the dust off your arms before the second half of the ride.

Full Throttle Back Through the Valley

The return leg follows a different line through the valley, crossing muddy patches and shallow water wherever the trail allows. By the time you park, ninety minutes of riding will have left a layer of dust you can wear with pride.

Solo Seat or Shared Ride?

Choose a single quad, a double quad for a driver and passenger, or a buggy with one or two seats. Drivers must be at least 16 years old. Children aged 6 and over can join as passengers beside an adult driver.

Who Should Sit This One Out

The trails are rough and bumpy, so the tour is not recommended for pregnant travellers or anyone with back, neck or heart conditions. Alcohol is not permitted before or during the ride.

The Road Back to Your Hotel

The session end time shows when the activity finishes. Your return transfer leaves afterwards, and the time you reach your hotel depends on traffic and where you are staying.
