The Side Quad ATV Safari costs €25 per adult and €15 per child in 2026 — infants join free. Booking online is free and there is no prepayment: you pay on the day of the tour, at our base. That price already includes free hotel pick-up and drop-off on the Side coast, a safety briefing by our professional guides, a supervised test drive, a helmet and roughly 1.5–2 hours of real off-road riding through forest tracks, dust, mud pits and water-splash stops in the Taurus foothills behind Side.
We run these tours ourselves — quadbuggysafari.com is the operator's own site, not a reseller. Here is exactly what your €25 covers, what costs extra at the base, and how Side compares with Kumköy, Belek, Kemer and Alanya.
What the €25 Covers — and What Costs Extra
There are no hidden fees in the tour price. Everything that costs money at the base is a genuinely optional add-on, and you decide about it on the spot.
| Item | Included or extra? |
|---|---|
| Hotel pick-up & drop-off (Side centre, Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Gündoğdu, Sorgun, Titreyengöl) | Included |
| Safety briefing by professional guides | Included |
| Supervised test drive before the track | Included |
| Helmet | Included |
| Changing cabins and showers at the base | Included |
| About 1.5–2 hours of actual off-road riding | Included |
| Protective goggles | Paid extra |
| Bandanas | Paid extra |
| Food & drinks | Paid extra |
| Professional photo/video service | Paid extra |
The track gets dusty in summer, so goggles and bandanas are the most popular extras — both sold at our base, no need to decide in advance. Bring a complete change of clothes: after the mud pits and water splashes you will want it, and our showers are free.
Side €25 vs Kumköy €30
The classic Side Quad ATV Safari is €25 per adult and €15 per child, about 3 hours door to door. Guests staying in Kumköy can also pick the dedicated Quad Safari from Kumköy at €30 / €18 (3 hours). Transfer, briefing, supervised test drive, helmet and showers are the same on both. Compare every departure on our quad safari overview page.
Quad Prices Along the Coast: Belek, Kemer, Alanya
We also run quad safaris from the neighbouring resorts — the longer transfer legs are the main reason they cost more. Side is the best-value starting point in 2026:
| Starting point | Adult | Child | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Side | €25 | €15 | ~3 hours door to door |
| Kumköy | €30 | €18 | 3 hours |
| Belek | €39 | €23 | 4 hours |
| Alanya | €40 | €24 | 3 hours |
| Kemer | €43 | €26 | 3 hours |
Why Pay-on-Tour Beats Prepaying a Reseller
Most big booking platforms take your card the moment you reserve. We work the other way round: book free online, pay on the day at the base. Three practical consequences:
- No middleman margin. You book directly with the operator, so €25 is the price — no commission stacked on top.
- Plans change on holiday. A shifted flight, a tired child — there is no refund process to chase, because no money has left your pocket.
- Total cost stays transparent. Money changes hands only for the tour price plus the extras you choose at the base.

Children, Infants and Who Drives
Family pricing is simple: adults €25, children €15, infants free. Children join from age 6 as passengers and are always securely belted. Anyone who wants to drive must be at least 16 and show ID at the base. Every driver first takes a supervised test drive with our guides: if you handle the machine confidently, you ride as a driver; if you would rather not drive, you join as a passenger. Guests with back or neck issues should also choose the passenger option.
Before booking, note that our quads are single-rider ATVs — one machine per driver, with handlebar throttle and full control. To ride two-up as a couple or with a child, the two-seater buggy (€30 per adult, with roll cage and seat belts) is the natural choice — see our quad vs buggy comparison.
Practical Details for Tour Day
- Sessions: morning or afternoon; we confirm your exact pick-up time when you book.
- Group size: up to 40 guests per departure, with our guides controlling the group on the track.
- Pack: a complete change of clothes — you will get dusty, muddy and probably wet.
- Payment: nothing online; you pay at the base on the day.
