Quick answer: booking a quad safari in Side takes about a minute and costs nothing up front. Pick your date on our Side quad safari page, enter how many adults and children are riding, add your hotel name and a contact number, then confirm. The tour is €25 per adult and €15 per child, infants free — and you pay your guide on the day of the tour, not online.
The five steps, from page to confirmation
There is no account to create and no deposit page to get stuck on. The whole booking is five decisions and one button.
- Choose the tour. For a single-rider ATV in the Taurus foothills behind Side, that is the Side quad safari: around three hours door to door, with 1.5 to 2 hours actually on the machine. To compare first, the quad safari overview and the full tour list line up quad, buggy and combo days next to each other.
- Pick your date. Departures run in the morning and in the afternoon — you choose the day, we confirm the window.
- Set the number of adults and children. Pricing is per person: €25 adult, €15 child, infants free. Children join as securely belted passengers from age 6.
- Add your hotel and contact details. Hotel name plus a phone number we can reach on the day. Pick-up and drop-off is free and included, and this is the field that makes it happen.
- Confirm. That is the booking done. No card details online, no deposit, nothing charged before the tour.
What we ask for, and why each field matters
| What you enter | Why we need it |
|---|---|
| Date | Places are limited: a maximum of 40 guests per departure, with our guides riding front and back of the convoy. |
| Adults and children | Sets your price and tells the base how many machines and helmets to have out. |
| Hotel name | Builds the pick-up route. Side, Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı and the neighbouring resorts are all on it. |
| Phone or WhatsApp | How the driver reaches you if reception is busy on the morning. |
| Name | Matches you to the departure list when you arrive at our base. |
What happens after you book
You receive a confirmation for your date with your pick-up window: morning or afternoon. We deliberately do not publish a fixed clock time — the exact time is confirmed with your booking, because it depends on where your hotel falls on that day's route. Be at reception a few minutes before the window opens and tell the desk you are waiting for the quad safari transfer. Nothing else is left to do: no payment link to chase, no voucher to print.
What to have ready on the day
Anyone who wants to drive must be 16 or over and bring ID to our base, and that is checked before any keys are handed over. Passengers ride from age 6, securely belted, and need nothing but a seat.
Whether you drive at all is decided at the base rather than on the booking form. Every guest gets a safety briefing and a supervised test drive first; if you are not comfortable at the controls, you ride as a belted passenger instead. That is why we never tell you a licence is or is not needed — the test drive is the honest answer. Bring clothes and shoes you do not mind covering in dust and mud, and use the free changing cabins and showers at the base afterwards.
Booking last minute from your hotel
Most of our guests book the evening before or on the same morning, straight from the sun lounger. Because nothing is prepaid, a last-minute booking carries no financial risk: you are simply asking for a seat on the next departure that still has room. Book early in the day if you want the morning run, the cooler ride in high summer, and write the hotel name exactly as it appears on your reservation so the route builds correctly. Our hotel pick-up guide for Side, Kumköy, Evrenseki and Çolaklı explains how the shuttle works resort by resort.
Why pay-on-the-day changes the maths
On most platforms you pay first and hope the day works out. Here, no money leaves your pocket until you are standing at our base with a helmet in your hand. You book free, you turn up, you pay your guide, you ride. Our guide to what you actually pay breaks down what the price covers — hotel transfer, safety briefing, supervised test drive, helmet, changing cabins and showers — and what is sold separately at the base: goggles, bandanas, food and drinks, and the professional photo and video service.
One booking note for mixed groups: if someone is under 16, or would simply rather not steer, they can ride belted behind a driver on a quad — or you can book the two-seater side-by-side instead on our buggy safari page, same steps, €30 per adult.
FAQ
How far in advance should I book a quad safari in Side?
A day or two ahead is comfortable and the same morning often works. Each departure takes a maximum of 40 guests, so busy summer weeks fill sooner — and since booking costs nothing, there is no reason to leave it late.
Do I pay anything when I book online?
No. Online booking is free and no money is taken up front. You pay on the day of the tour: €25 per adult, €15 per child, infants free.
What time will I be picked up?
You choose morning or afternoon, and the exact time is confirmed with your booking. It shifts because the shuttle collects several hotels in sequence, so we never publish a fixed clock time.
Do I need to bring ID?
Yes, if you intend to drive — drivers are 16 and over with ID at the base. Passengers from 6 do not need it. Bring it even if you are undecided, because the supervised test drive is where you make up your mind.
Can I book for children?
Yes. Children are €15 and join as securely belted passengers from age 6; infants are free. Enter them as children when you set the numbers so the seats and helmets are ready.
