In 2026 our Side Buggy Safari costs €30 per adult and €18 per child, and infants join free. The price is per person, online booking is free, and you pay on the day of the tour at our base — no prepayment, no card details, no deposit. Hotel pick-up and drop-off on the Side coast is already included, so €30 really is the full price of the roughly 4-hour door-to-door experience.
What the €30 Actually Covers
We operate these tours ourselves from our own base in the Taurus foothills behind Side, so we can tell you exactly where your money goes. About 1.5–2 hours of the tour is real off-road driving: forest tracks, dust clouds, mud pits and water-splash stops. The rest is transfer, safety briefing and time to clean up afterwards. Here is the honest breakdown of what the Buggy Safari Side price includes and what is a paid extra:
| Included in the €30 | Paid extras at the base |
|---|---|
| Hotel pick-up and drop-off (Side centre, Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Gündoğdu, Sorgun, Titreyengöl) | Protective goggles |
| Safety briefing by our professional guides | Bandanas |
| Supervised test drive before the track | Food and drinks |
| Helmet | Professional photo and video service |
| Changing cabins and showers at the base | — |
None of the extras are required to enjoy the tour — goggles and bandanas are simply popular because the track is genuinely dusty. Do bring a complete change of clothes: the mud pits and splash stops are not decorative.
Two Seats, One Machine: How Pricing Works for Couples and Families
A buggy is a two-seater side-by-side with a roll cage, a steering wheel and proper seat belts, so two people share one machine: the driver plus a securely belted passenger. Pricing stays per person — the driver pays the €30 adult fare and the passenger pays their own fare, €30 for an adult or €18 for a child from age 6, belted in next to the driver. For parents this is the easiest way to bring kids along, and for couples it is the shared-cockpit thrill that a single-rider quad simply cannot offer. Still weighing up the two machines?

Want More for Your Money? Combo Prices
Our buggy track sits in the same stretch of the Taurus foothills as the Köprülü Canyon rafting rivers, which is why the combo days deliver the best value per hour of adventure:
- Rafting + Buggy Safari — €35 adult / €21 child, about 7 hours. Only €5 more than the buggy alone.
- 3-in-1: Rafting + Zipline + Buggy — €38 / €23, about 8 hours.
- 4-in-1: Rafting + Tazı Canyon + Zipline + Buggy — €49 / €29, about 8 hours, our biggest single-day programme.
If your holiday budget allows one big activity day rather than several small ones, the combos are how you squeeze the most out of it.

FAQ
Is the €30 per person or per buggy?
Per person. The driver pays €30 and the belted passenger pays their own fare — €30 for adults, €18 for children from age 6. Infants are free.
Do I have to pay anything online?
No. Booking on our site is free and asks for no card details. You pay the full amount on the day of the tour, at the base.
Are there hidden costs on the day?
No. Transfer, briefing, test drive, helmet and the showers afterwards are all inside the €30. The only things that cost extra are optional: goggles, bandanas, food and drinks, and the professional photo and video service.
What does the child ticket include?
The €18 child fare covers everything the adult fare does — transfer, helmet and a belted seat next to the driver. Children join as passengers from age 6; infants travel free.
Do I need driving experience?
What matters is the supervised test drive at our base: guests who show they can control the buggy confidently ride as drivers on the track, and anyone who would rather not drive enjoys the same route as a passenger. Drivers must be 16 or older and show ID.
