A Family Resort, and a Tour With Family Rules
Avsallar and neighbouring İncekum are family territory — shallow beach, pine shade, a lot of half-board. The Avsallar quad safari is our Alanya departure with free hotel pick-up, and the family arithmetic is worth getting right before you book rather than at the base camp.
The Numbers That Decide Your Booking
Drivers on the Alanya departure must be eighteen or over. Younger guests join as passengers with an adult — which works perfectly well, because these quads take two riders. Infants aged nought to three join free of charge, and children from four to eleven pay a reduced child price. If you have a sixteen or seventeen-year-old who has set their heart on driving, our Side, Kumköy and Belek departures allow drivers from sixteen and we will happily move you.
Riding Two-Up With a Child
The passenger position is the better seat for a first-timer of any age: you get the view over the Mediterranean, you do the filming, and you are not managing the throttle over the bumpy sections. The convoy runs single file behind a guide who sets the pace, so there is no pressure to keep up with anyone. Most families swap nothing at all and simply let one adult drive the whole route.
What the Day Looks Like
Morning collection from your hotel, a climb inland into the Taurus foothills, then a base camp among the hills where the briefing and short driving lesson happen. The route runs through pine forest, across shallow water crossings and over dusty dirt tracks with gentle climbs, pausing at a panoramic ridge for photographs. It closes with a water break and a splash fight that gets the worst of the dust off. About three hours door to door, graded easy.
Included and Not
Included: the fuelled quad, helmet and dust mask, basic accident insurance, a professional guide, the driving lesson, water stops and a refreshment break, and return transfer. Not included: lunch, drinks and snacks, photo and video, gratuities and the optional single-rider upgrade. Free cancellation up to twenty-four hours before departure.
Who Should Sit This One Out
It is not recommended for pregnant guests or anyone with back, neck or heart conditions — the dirt sections genuinely shake you about. There is no shame in one parent staying at the beach.
Confirming Your Pick-Up
The Alanya departure lists its free transfer as central Alanya and Konaklı and the fleet also serves nearby resorts along the coast road. Send us your Avsallar or İncekum hotel name when you reserve and we will confirm your collection point before you commit.
Other Ways to Do It
A two-seat buggy with a roll cage and belts suits nervous families better than a quad for some groups — see the buggy safari range. Full detail on this departure is on the Alanya quad safari page, neighbouring Okurcalar uses the same base, and live dates sit on the ride list.
