The Pickup & Journey to the Mountains
We loved the smooth hotel pickup, which sets the tone for a hassle-free adventure. From the bustling center of Antalya, the drive to the countryside takes about 15-20 minutes, giving you a quick escape into a more rural setting. The drive itself is a reminder that Turkey’s scenic diversity extends far beyond its historical sites, offering lush landscapes rolling past your window.
Safety Briefing & Equipment
Upon arrival, the guides provide a clear safety briefing and instructions on how to operate the quad bikes. Even if you’ve never ridden before, the quick test ride ensures everyone gets comfortable before heading out. The bikes are equipped with helmets, which are included, but you might want to bring goggles or bandanas for extra eye protection, especially on muddy stretches.
The Off-Road Adventure
Once underway, you’ll follow a predefined 24 km route through the mountain terrain. The paths are a mix of dusty, muddy sections, small hills, streams, and occasionally more challenging spots. Riding through mud and water may seem intimidating at first, but it’s precisely what adds to the thrill. The guides keep the convoy organized, but expect some splashes and a bit of dirt — this is part of the fun.
Travelers have shared that the landscape is stunning — rugged mountains, green patches, and panoramic views. You’ll stop along the way to take photos and admire the scenery, making the journey not just about riding but also about appreciating Antalya’s natural beauty. Multiple reviews mention that the guides are knowledgeable and keep the group safe while ensuring everyone has a good time.

The Return & Hotel Drop-off

Value and Practical Considerations
At $44 per person, the price point offers good value given the included elements — guided instructions, quad bikes, helmets, and hotel transfers. Compared to other outdoor activities, this offers a fun, memorable experience without breaking the bank. It’s suitable for solo travelers, couples, or groups, especially considering the social aspect of riding in a convoy.
However, travelers should be prepared for some mess — the muddy paths, dust clouds, and occasional water splashes mean you’ll want to dress comfortably and wear clothes that can get dirty. The tour explicitly states no smoking, alcohol, or drugs, emphasizing safety and focus on the ride.
Who Should Consider This Tour?
If you love outdoor activities, want to see some of Antalya’s less-accessible scenery, and don’t mind a bit of dirt, this trip is perfect. It’s also suitable for children riding behind an adult’s quad, making it family-friendly. But it’s not recommended for pregnant women or those with back problems, given the physical nature of riding over uneven terrain.
Final Thoughts: The Right Adventure for the Right Traveler
This quad safari offers a balanced mix of adventure, sightseeing, and convenience. It’s especially appealing to those who enjoy guides who are knowledgeable and attentive and want to explore Turkey’s natural beauty beyond the usual tourist spots. The scenic views of the Taurus Mountains combined with the excitement of off-road riding make it a memorable experience.
For travelers who prefer a more relaxed day or dislike getting dirty, this may not be the best option. But if you’re craving a fun, active way to see the countryside and don’t mind a bit of mud, the Antalya Quad Safari is a fantastic choice that delivers both adventure and authenticity.
