🚙 What to Expect

After hotel pick-up, you’ll be taken to the starting point where guides provide a safety briefing and basic driving instructions. Helmets and required safety equipment are issued before heading out. Each participant drives a buggy along a set off-road route designed to be manageable for first-time drivers as well as those with prior experience.

The route covers a mix of dirt tracks, rocky paths, and forested sections within the Taurus Mountains. The pace is controlled, with guides leading the group and stopping at designated points for short breaks and photos. Terrain is uneven and dusty in places, and shallow water crossings may be encountered depending on conditions.

The focus is on driving rather than speed, with time to take in the surroundings and reset between sections. The total experience lasts around three hours, including briefing, riding time, and return transfers.

📍 Location

The safari takes place in the countryside surrounding Alanya, moving away from the built-up coastal area into mountain terrain. Transfers are included from local hotels, with exact pick-up details confirmed after booking.

This inland setting offers a clear contrast to the coast, with routes selected to avoid traffic and maximise time on unsealed tracks rather than public roads.

🧾 Prerequisites

Drivers must be at least 17 years old and able to operate the buggy independently after instruction. Passengers must be at least 10 years old. Participants should be comfortable with uneven ground and dusty conditions.

This activity is not suitable for children under 10, pregnant participants, individuals with back problems, or those with mobility impairments. A waiver must be signed before taking part.

⭐ Why Choose This Experience
