The best quad safari in Side comes down to one honest question: how big a day do you want? As the local operator, we run all four quad options on the Side coast ourselves. The classic Side Quad ATV Safari costs €25 per adult and €15 per child for about 3 hours door to door — the best-value first ride. From there the ladder climbs through two €30 options to the €38 3-in-1 combo with rafting and zipline. Whichever you pick, booking online is free and you pay on the day of the tour — no prepayment.
Our four quad safari options at a glance
These are our own tours: our machines, our guides, our base in the Taurus foothills behind Side. Instead of an invented "top 10" list, here is a straight comparison of the four options — and who each suits.
| Tour | Price (adult / child) | Duration | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Side Quad ATV Safari | €25 / €15 | ~3 hours door to door | First-timers, best value |
| Quad Safari from Kumköy | €30 / €18 | 3 hours | Guests staying in Kumköy |
| Rafting + Quad Combo | €30 / €18 | ~7 hours | A full adventure day |
| 3-in-1: Rafting + Zipline + Quad | €38 / €23 | ~8 hours | Maximum adrenaline |
Infants join free on every tour. Staying in Belek, Kemer or Alanya? We run separate quad and buggy departures there, all listed on our quad safari overview page.
What separates a good quad safari from a mediocre one
Wherever in the world you ride, the same five things decide whether a quad safari is worth your money. Here is how we handle each at our base.
- A proper safety briefing. Before anyone touches a throttle, our professional guides walk the whole group through the machine, the hand signals and the track rules — clearly, never as a rushed formality.
- A supervised test drive. Every driver takes a test drive under a guide's eyes at our base before we head out. Guests who handle the quad confidently ride as drivers; anyone who prefers not to drive joins as a passenger. Drivers must be at least 16 and show ID at the base.
- Guides who actually control the group. A departure can carry up to 40 guests, so control matters: our guides set the pace, keep spacing between machines and stay with the group from first metre to last.
- A genuine off-road route. Expect roughly 1.5–2 hours of real riding: forest tracks, dust clouds, mud pits and water-splash stops in the hills behind Side. If you come back clean, something went wrong.
- Honest pricing. You book free online and pay on the day of the tour — no deposits, no prepayment. Optional extras at the base (goggles, bandanas, food and drinks, the photo and video package) are clearly priced and entirely your choice.
Which quad safari is best for you?
First time on a quad, or watching the budget? Take the €25 Side Quad ATV Safari. About 3 hours door to door with briefing, test drive and the full off-road route — our lowest price.
Staying in Kumköy? The dedicated quad safari from Kumköy (€30 / €18, 3 hours) is organised around the Kumköy hotel strip.
Want a full day out? The rafting and quad combo (€30 / €18, about 7 hours) pairs the quad track with white-water rafting on the Köprülü river — two adventures in one day.
Chasing maximum adrenaline? The 3-in-1 rafting, zipline and quad tour (€38 / €23, about 8 hours) stacks three activities into a single day — our biggest quad programme.

Bring a complete change of clothes: between the dust and the water splashes, you will need it.
